Hi, I am just starting out with GnuCash. I want to import data I have stored in a commercial program, which includes accounts using different currencies. I exported my data as QIF, and when I used the GnuCash importer, it made me select a currency, and noted that multiple currencies were not supported during QIF import. I went ahead with the import, in USD, since my alternate-currency accounts are pretty minimal. I figured, at that point, GnuCash just didn't have much support for multiple currencies, and I'd just try to straighten things out by hand after the import finished. I then started looking a little more closely at the documentation, including page 1 of the guide: Free Accounting Software | GnuCash
| | | | | | | | | | | Free Accounting Software | GnuCashA personal and small-business financial-accounting software, licensed under GNU/GPL and available for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, BSD, and Solaris. | | | | View on www.gnucash.org | Preview by Yahoo | | | | | I do notice that "global currencies" is mentioned prominently in the first sentence, and quite prominently in the illustration. So, my initial suspicion that GnuCash was basically a single-currency program was off the mark. So I guess the problem is limited to QIF import? Is there any recommended strategy for importing data that is in different currencies? I am a software engineer, and I would be interested in attempting to add multi-currency support to the importer, particularly if someone on this list can give me any pointers. Thanks,John _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
