Investment in foreign currencies

[Marc Labranche]

Dear Andy,

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I am also in 5.1.2.  Very good news that KMM can deal with all those investment transactions.

1_ It is not very practical if I have to create as many categories as there are currencies.  As far as I can see another solution is implemented.  When I introduce fees via a split transaction, I enter the amount in SEK and then KMM ask me via the Exchange Rate/ Price Editor window to specify the rate.  When I leave the split transaction window, the SEK fees are correctly converted in EUR and appear on the transaction window.    
3_ security_3 was indeed created with the SEK currency and I have not yet entered any other transactions for this security after the purchase date 

Liability amounts in red.  You are right. My accounts are of type loan or credit card and not strictly Liability.  It is ambiguous because loans and credit cards are displayed under Liability group on the Accounts page.

Best regards, 

Marc

> 1. i have investment account in HKD and a USD stock inside it. suggest you check if you create your security_1 in sek. believe u would need a category in sek for the dividend as well. likely u also have a sek asset account receiving the dividend.
> 2. if you could create security_1 follow same step for security_2
> 3. believe that your security_3 is likely newly created. just wonder if there would be some transactions e.g. dividend payment after your purchase date and u try modifying the purchase date after dividend date....

> 1_ I can create the security InvestorAB but I can not introduce a dividend payment transaction.  I give all the details in the bug 445591 I introduced last week.  I give the example in a KMM file with a very short data set.  KMM crashes.
> 2_ I cannot create the security_2.  When I try to Enter the security KMM crashes (even without fees).  I cannot reproduce this problem on a small set of data.
> 3_ For security_3 I made a mistake in introducing the purchase date and I try to modify it afterwards. I can modify the date but when I Enter the transaction KMM crashes.

> 
> Finally a small question concerning the Accounts page : why my liability amounts are not displayed in red ? All amounts are displayed in green (discrepancy between my KMM file and the user manual).
