Hello.
I'm very grateful to GnuCash developers. Nevertheless, it seems to me that they
are not very interested in international standards, possibly because many of
them are Americans, and Americans are not fond of international standards. I
use GnuCash 4.9 on Fedora.
1) Former bug 622778 was opened 12 years ago and is very similar to current bug
797093 ("Miscalculation in cashflow reports"), reported in 2019 and still
unfixed.
2) Bug 796811 ("Allowing ISO number formats (both decimal separators, spaces)
and currency symbol as input"), reported in 2018, has not been fixed.
3) When using multiple currencies, after having filled the price database with
the exchange rate of all days with transactions in the foreign currency, I
found no way to get a correct income statement based on the exchange rate of
each transaction day, which is an IFRS requirement. IFRS for SMEs n°30.7: "An
entity shall record a foreign currency transaction, on initial recognition in
the functional currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot
exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the
date of the transaction." I tried the 5 options of "Price source": "Average
cost of purchases weighted by volume", "Weighted average of all transactions in
the past", "Last up through report date" (which is incomprehensible to me,
whose mother tongue is not English), "Closest to report date" and "Most recent".
These 3 defects have poisoned my life for long. I guess there are other non
standard behaviours which don't bother me. Does anyone know of another
openSource project more focused on international standards?
Thank you very much in advance.
