Hi again. :) I was going to go AFK right after this email but I got some help on IRC (thanks warlord!).
I made a mistake here that caused the issue. I didn't realise that Credit Card accounts are for the business credit card and took it as the way the employee paid for the item (ie their credit card). This is why the split happened the way it did. The A/P copped all the cash payments and the employee credit account the credit card payments. The fix is obvious. Kill the credit card accounts and convert all payments the employee did in the expense voucher into cash payments. That'll restore a smidge of sanity to my world. Happy days. :) On Wed, Nov 19, 2025 at 11:42:35PM +1100, AP wrote: > Hi, > > Trying to figure out what gnucash is doing with my first reimbursement ever. > :) > > So I've an employee who has a different currency than the company currency. > > They went on a trip to a customer and incurred costs, most billable one not. > > I added these, itemised, into an expense voucher in their currency. > > I then posted in into an A/P in their currency, putting in the appropriate > conversion rate into the company currency. > > This caused GNUCash to fill in two accounts: > 1. the credit card account for the employee > 2. the A/P that the voucher was posted into > > Hassle is the splits don't make sense.
