Yes, that was how i read your comment, but I also thought you were referencing a plugin which would generate an error if needed. Apropo to nothing other than talking about rounding errors - up until now I've not had too many rounding issues with my imported and converted transactions until the past few days. The brokerage account has some rounding involved and one amount they use can throw me off because I always use exact amounts to as many decimals as needed in my own calculations. So now I'm seeing an account where I'm off by a penny due to rounding and the various amounts the brokerage uses but doesn't keep consistent. I don't mind if they use a rounded value but I do want them to be consistent about it and not reporting one value in one place and another value in another and yet another in a third place (41.05 != 41.0501 != 41.0502). And even with the strange stuff going on I still have no values ever showing up in Equity:RoundingError even if I am using options "inferred_tolerance_default" "*:0.000001" and option "account_rounding" "Equity:RoundingError". I'd much rather have a transaction that isn't balancing error out right away so I can deal with it before building later transactions upon an error. fin > --0000000000003f99c806154bea28 > Content-Type: text/plain;
