The system still needs a lot of work, for example, to allow for
correction of incorrect exchange rates.
Actually, I just have a script which pulls the rates from XE.com every
morning. Breaks every year or so, but other than that it's fine
The correct "accounting" way to handle deviations from the xe.com rates
is to post the difference in fx gain/loss
I think that the only thing really needed is a template page to assist
in entering all the correct parts of the fx transaction so that one
doesn't need to calculate all the little bits manually (on a calculator)
first.
I will post my complete ledger entries next week, but it's fairly
straightforward once you get the hang of it. (I also think it's quite
correct as is)
