They are, but mainly because there has to be *some* default value. In

I have been following this discussion rather closely. I am American (not
something to be proud of right now), but I do travel a lot on business
worldwide, dealing with a lot of currencies. It'll be interesting to see
how this resolves.

Anyway, it sort of goes to my point that I think the documentation is
less than clear for those of us who have regular transactions in
multiple
I thought this thread was discussing only transactions, not reports. Jeff,
the Price Editor does not come in to play in individual transactions.
Transactions are self-contained with whatever exchange rates happen therein.
The Price editor exists for reports that are not tied to individual
It's not entirely unuseful that some of the discussion happens here on
the user list. User input may be of interest.
I'll add only one point, which is that I think the current English

gnucash in the presence of more than one
I’ve been thinking for a while about how the register could be changed to
better handle multiple currency transactions with trading accounts turned on.
Back when I implemented trading accounts I knew this was a problem. However
at that time it was expected that the Register2 rewrite of the
On second thought, a slight correction —if each account only showed amounts
converted to its own currency - NONE of the splits would match any other
account’s view of the transaction.
The Credit of GBP from Transferwise would be a different amount in the

It's a difference in the way that the register works with or without trading
accounts. If trading accounts are turned off then the register displays all
splits converted to that register account's currency. If they're on then it
displays each split in its own account's currency, with symbols
Thanks, that's great, I'll have a play with that after work.
Two points concern me:
1. I don't see currency symbols in my registers. Is this a setting?
2. I've been taught in accounting that transactions must balance, and
so I was expecting to see the GBP register all in GBP, the CHF
Sorry, I thought I proofed that better. Wherever you see €5.13, that should be
€5.12. It really doesn’t matter, as it is just for illustration.

So the Cafe’s price was CHF 5.70?
Your card was debited GBP 4.67?
The Expense:Coffee account is set to EUR?
First, yes, you’ll need Trading Accounts turned on.
Second, open the price db and fetch rates, then check the EUR-GBP rate, you’ll
need it later. (I don’t see a way around this at

If you attach an image then it'll make it through.

The list server doesn't like inline images. It mostly works with images stuck
at the end of the message. Mostly.
In what account is the 2.80 debit? In which account (and so which currency) did
you create the transaction?
A side note, have you considered/tried enabling trading accounts? Some

Apparently the mailing list strips images, even very tiny ones.
The first image simply showed Transferwise associating 5.70 CFH = 4.67 GBP.
The second showed that gnucash is creating a correcting split in the
transaction I'd entered:
512452_Transferwise CHF 5.70
6212_cafe
I purchased a coffee in Switzerland using my GBP-based Transferwise
card. That card could hold a CHF balance, but on that day it held only
GBP. My local currency is EUR. So I can think of my coffee purchase as
two FX transactions: funding (GBP -> CHF) and an expense (CHF -> EUR).
