Hi, in bugzilla are a few problems reported about currency handling. Today for me, I solved one of them.
The case: Assume, I bought 1473680 IDR for 130 EUR. This is a rate of exactly 11336 IDR/EUR. If I enter the transaction from my accout cash-EU this looks relative good. The price editor _displays_ a rate of 0 + 251417/2834000000. Realy in a ratio of 11336:100 % both numbers can be divided by 4 to become 18336:25 %. The digits "1417" seems to be some noise or a randem seed ;). If I press the edit button, it is offering "0 + 1 / 11336", which is the original rate. But, ... if I press OK then, I get a rate of 0,000088. This is really not precise, the inversion would be 11363.63.. My conclusion is: do not use the price editor for currencies. Instead create and delete a dummy transaction to enter more precise exchange rates. So my first question is, are there any objections, that the price-editor does not use the same smart code as xfer-editor for currencies? 2. should the conclusio be published anywhere?
