This... worked. What I did was: 1. Create a Bank account for the actual bank account but in USD 2. Paid the transaction fee bill with the original withdrawal 3. Transferred the rest of the money in the original withdrawal to the new fake USD bank account 4. Paid the vendor USD bill with the money in the fake USD bank account End result: * books balanced * bills paid * fees tracked Downside: Lost the link between the vendor's bill and the original withdrawal which is an annoyance. Note: A trading account was not in use as there would be no capital gains/losses on these transactions as they are "immediate". Is this the way to do it or is there a better way?
