I agree, but human error (lost receipt) and real world means I don't get it all back. And sometimes I get more than 100% back due to exchange rates, or per diem being > actual expenses. I'm not worried about the reason for the losses (me losing receipts or exchange rates). I just want to file the single loss appropriates. > > As far as I can tell, all of the expenses you listed above should be > denominated in DKK, since that's the currency you actually paid with.

While traveling I transited through the EU and spent 15 EUR cash in an airport, and then spent the GBP as cash on the ground at the destination. > If the reimburse you a different amount than you actually paid then the > difference should be treated as an unreimbursed business expense. > Yes I agree that is where things should end up. I'm still wondering about best practices for reconciling to that account. Do I shift all 4 currency balances from foo to UBE? Or try to zero them out to my primary currency first? etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
