Hi, I just took a business trip where all expenses should be reimbursed. Afterward, my accounts looked like this:
Assets:Other:AccountsReceivable:Foo 156.58 USD Assets:Other:AccountsReceivable:Foo 1061.17 DKK Assets:Other:AccountsReceivable:Foo 15.00 EUR Assets:Other:AccountsReceivable:Foo 109.44 GBP I then got reimbursed 2017-11-15 * "Foo Reimburse" Assets:MyBank 2944.04 DKK Assets:Other:AccountsReceivable:Foo The account does not go to zero for a few reasons: Maybe I forgot to turn in on receipt, and/or exchange rates have changed, or because a GBP *receipt* that I had to turn in is actually in the DKK currency to me, because I paid for it with a DKK credit card, etc. Some Questions: 1) I have prices, but not on 2017-11-15. How is a conversion handled? Is it just a linear interpolation between the two nearest prices? 2) Due to the reimbursement, this account has a negative DKK balance. Net balance is still positive, because (using todays exchange rates), the payment (they paid GBP but may bank shows it as DKK) doesn't cover everything. How should I handle this? I could convert everything to one currency, I think, using either todays rate or the rate on the date the reimbursment posted, and then keep a small balance in just one currency. Is there any reason to do this? Or should I just have an "Expense:MiscUnreimbursedExpenses" and transfer everything to that account? Again, if I just transfer, then the expenses account will have the wrong sign for DKK, and appear to contain more USD, DKK, and EUR than it really does (I think).
