There was a fairly recent bug about mixed currencies with bills &
invoices. I thought it was sorted out. (my solution was to use Trading
Accounts, but it turns out that should not be necessary, and no longer
is required.)

I don't recall seeing what version you are using. The above bug was
reported for 4.13/5.0. If you are on a later version, it should be
fixed. If not, perhaps re-open the bug or file a new one. If you are
using an older version, please upgrade.

Adrien

I thought of creating a "fake" bank account and buying USD at the right
rate and then using that to pay off the USD bill (leaving the real AUD
account to pay the transaction fee) but that seems a little kludgy and
a bit of a pain. Also not sure if it'd work. :)
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?
