I don't think I am seeing all of this conversation, but based on what I see, I can mention what I do in a similar situation.
I often withdraw money from a USD account in MXN. Then use the MXN in cash for living expenses. When I get cash from the ATM, I make one entry in Gnucash with two lines: In the bank register the amounts appear in USD US Bank USD account: Withdrawal Cash MXN account: Deposit In the Cash account the amounts appear in MXN. Cash MXN account: Receive US Bank USD account: Spend Then when I use the cash, everything is in MXN, Spent from the Cash account Credited to whatever expense account is involved. I have expense accounts in both currencies, but typically cash expenditures are in MXN, so there is no further currency conversion after the ATM transaction.

I enter 108.30 with groceries as the counter entry. The XCD cash came from an ATM transaction some days ago, so GnuCash has an exchange rate between USD and XCD. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
