"the agreed currency" is ambiguous here :-) there are two agreed currencies: the prices in USD, the payment in the other currency.

To explain a bit further: I don't see anything lacking in what you describe, other than that I don't think LedgerSMB supports this workflow (I need to re-enter the entire invoice from scratch every month, even though it's the same amount in the original currency). > Ease, detail, timeliness of record, clarity > and reviewability don't all cooperate--chose three or four. > Do I understand correctly that you too think LedgerSMB wasn't made for this workflow? I'm still wondering if I'm the only one running into this type of problem. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.
