Hi Alok, You need to book the remaining 0.01 EUR somewhere, so it doesn't get lost :-) E.g. it could be an "Expenses:Bank Charges" if it's due to your bank taking some fee out of it. Or maybe it's a rounding error, or the difference is due to some other reason.
Personally, I usually book currency exchanges through a "Currency" account, so that any remainders accrue there.
