           Summary: Unclear definition of the “Price” column in reports

  Target Milestone: ---

For reports that contain accounts with different currencies and for which
conversion to the base currency is set in the configuration, an internal
conversion rate is used for the output. This conversion rate is currently
displayed in a column titled “Price,” which is misleading in this context and
would be better suited to “Conversion Rate.”

For reports that contain investments, there is a price for the purchase or sale
of shares that is displayed in the “Price” column of the report. 

If the currency of these investments differs from the base currency and the
conversion to the base currency is set in the configuration, the stock price
available for this investment is adjusted internally using the current
conversion rate and displayed together in the “Price” column.  

These values are contained independently of each other in the “price database” 

Commodity   Stock name  Currency  Date

A                     A                    USD          2024-07-02   -> Stock
price
USD                                       EUR         2024-07-08   -> Currency
conversion

Due to consolidation, they cannot be tracked individually, which makes it
difficult to verify the accuracy of the results, as the values used depend to a
large extent on the time of definition or import, the  reporting period, and
the posting date of the transactions.
