Hi, everybody.
I have a problem or misunderstanding with currency exchange.
Assume that I have a bank account in Russian rubles (my primary currency):
2017-05-10 Opening balances
Assets:Checking:RUB 1,000.00 RUB
Equity:RUB
And now I want to buy some dollars and have them on my dollars checking
account:
2017-05-11 Buy some dollars
Assets:Checking:USD 10.00 USD @ 55.00 RUB
Assets:Checking:RUB
Now, if I run balance report I get this:
450.00 RUB
10.00 USD Assets:Checking
450.00 RUB RUB
10.00 USD USD
-1,000.00 RUB Equity:RUB
--------------------
-550.00 RUB
10.00 USD
It looks weird. Why these 450 RUB on the first line of the report is not
under any account? Why "Assets:Checking" sum is 10 USD? I feel like I miss
something and do it wrong. Can you explain me why my report is balanced
this way and how should I deal with several bank accounts using different
currencies?
Thank you.
