My advice to you: 1. Do read the GnuCash concepts and tutorial guide, especially Chapter 12 /Multiple Currencies/ <https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_currency.html>.
= = To enable them go to File → Properties+Accounts tab and check the Use Trading Accounts checkbox. DONE = = 2. Do enable Trading Accounts, as described in 12. /Automatically Recording Currency Transactions using Trading Accounts/ <https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/currency_trading_accts.html>. I have always used them. (In fact, I cannot tell you what happens if you do not use them, because I have not tried. = = But I have not yet found the place where I can enter my second currency KHR - I only see the many things I will be able to do AFTER I will have entered it. Can you please help me trough this step? = = 3. I second Paul Kroitor's excellent advice that you make a "test book" for practice and experiments. Accept a default chart of accounts. Make a few accounts in KHR currency. Enter a few test transactions. See how things work. Then set up your real book. Of course I will do this. 4. I use the one currency structure for my asset accounts, and a different currency structure for my expense accounts. See if either of these makes sense for you. I hope this is helpful. Have fun with the experiments!
