Check the fraction traded field in your security and adjust it to 1/1000.
Ensure your account uses the commodity value under the smallest fraction field.
Enter the debit value as $1.04; the system will calculate the price as $130 due

This is similar to physical bookkeeping. If your income and bank account are

but your bank account is in USD, you'll need to enter the conversion rate when
