Default Re: Exchange rate per transaction

But lose that conversion forevermore once entered.

The issue I think the OP is raising is that the default data file currency
is always reflected in reports that span currencies. You can have reports
just for accounts of currency X and just of currency Y and they don't
convert on reporting.

Say the report lists transactions in accounts in the file-default EUR and
from accounts in CHF both listed. The CHF value of the CHF transactions
won't be displayed, nor will the correct value for the then current CHF-> EUR
exchange rate. The CHF account transaction values will be displayed in EUR
converted according to the most recent CHF-> EUR conversion rate that the
file knows about.

(This was a particular problem for my export/import to my Project Dinero
replacement database.)

If I understand correctly, Transfers between accounts of different currency
are the only way to fix, for purposes of reporting, the exchange rate at
that point in time OR make all reports single currency.

But I was just trying to answer the OPs questions.

If you track the expense and pay it in EUR, why not enter the amount in EUR.
If you pay it in CHF then maybe you could enter an "manual adjustment" each
month.

Default Exchange rate per transaction

Hello,

I'm not shure if it's possible or nut (but I haven't found a way for this).

I have many accounts in swiss francs (CHF) and one in Euro (EUR). When I
enter transactions in the euro-account all is ok. But I think that in the
reports, the value of the transactions i converted to CHF with the exchange
rate set in the options. But that's not 100% correct because the exchange
rate changes every day.
Is it somehow possible to set the exchange rate per transaction?
I use Money 2005. Is it possible in a newer version?

Thank you very much.
Regards,
Marc Hugelshofer
