Hi all, I recently recorded a currency conversion transaction (a transfer from an HKD account to a USD account) and noticed that the trial balance no longer balanced afterward. If I delete the currency conversion, the trial balance returns to normal. Using a trading account did not resolve the issue.
I don't believe the transaction was entered incorrectly. I used the currency conversion rate stored in the price database for that day. The main difference I see is in the unrealized gain entry: it decreases (a lot more than it should be for the loss due to FX transaction) after the conversion, leaving the credit column out of balance with the debit column. I've also noticed that the unrealized gain shown in the balance sheet differs from the one shown in the trial balance. If I substitute the balance sheet value into the trial balance, the numbers in the trial balance reconcile correctly. Since all unrealized gains are calculated automatically by GnuCash, I'm unsure whether the values in the balance sheet and trial balance are supposed to match. If they should, this may be a bug? Has anyone encountered this issue or found a way to fix it? Thanks, Chang _______________________________________________ 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.
