You can always replace the DRIP prices by retrieving online quotes after
creating the transactions. You could also edit or delete the DRIP transaction
prices in the price DB; it won’t have any effect on the transactions.

What Derek said.
Plus, the key important thing is that the number of shares and the money
you actually spent are correct; these days (at least in the US), the
brokerage is keeping track of correct prices.
I run into this with reinvested dividends, if the dividend amount is small

The answer is "no". And your Broker is lying to you. There is no such
thing as $0.0036 so there is no "value" there.
You should record the 4.000 shares and total value of $105.95
Ignore the "price" difference. It doesn't matter in the long run. Even

Thanks for the answers. There is a difference when I look at GNU Cash and
my broker, albeit small, is there.

the account. While you are add it, you may want to check the 'Fra
When you are entering the transaction, if you just provide the total shares

The issue here is rounding. GnuCash enforces a minimum fraction on all
commodities. For most currencies that fraction is 1/100; a few, e.g. Japanese
Yen, it’s 1/1. Most mutual funds have a minimum fraction of 1/1000, most stocks
have fractions of 1/—though DRIP accounts will pretend to have frac
GnuCash only maintains the number of shares and the total value. The
per-share price is /always/ computed.
When you are entering a transaction, GnuCash allows you to enter any two
