Please tell me the intent is to *add* the book currency value, not replace the 
actual currency value.

I would hope that the actual currency transaction data would still be 
available. If you have to reconcile against statements or receipts (or suffer 
an audit) with foreign amounts sans their ‘book currency’ equivalents, such 
original data would be critical.

If so, this is how I originally conceived GC was operating till I learned 
otherwise.

Adrien
