Bug 410544

As I was told that the issue might have been fixed in later version, I upgraded to version 5.0.6. The issue is still present.

Kmymoney 5.0.6

Linux Ubuntu 19.10

Correctly handle splits with differing currency

When entering investments the foreign currency detection did not compare
a split's currencyId against the transaction commodity. This is now
fixed.

I have tried with the AppImage 5.0.80-35379fe and seem to still have the problem with the following example:

File base currency: A
Investment account in currency B
Purchase share in currency C

OBSERVED RESULT
Fees forced in currency C

EXPECTED RESULT
Fees in same currency as investment account, i.e. B

You know that the currency used depends on the currency of the category. Could it be that the category for the fees is denominated in currency C?

Thanks for the quick response. Here are a few points to clarify.

Category for the fee is tax and is in currency A
I assume this is why the fee is then rightly converted in currency A
However, when entered, it is assumed to be in currency C (and is therefore converted from C to A) whereas I would expect it to be assumed as being in currency B (and therefore converted from B to A), given that the investment account is in currency B
This is not an issue when the share is in currency B: both the share and fee are entered in currency B (and then converted from currency B to A)

Would you mind to setup a small test file which shows the situation (just the accounts involved and the one transaction) and attach it to this bug report? I want to avoid to setup something that does not reflect your real scenario. Once I have that file at hand it will be a lot easier to workout a fix. Many thanks in advance.

Foreign currency investment

Thank you very much for looking into this so promptly. Here is a small copy of a file that should illustrate the issue I have.
I have set up the following:

Base account is in euro (base currency)
Trading account is in £
Two shares: one in £ and one in $

When shares bought/sold are in £, everything is shown in £ in account "Trade", where details of the operation are shown
However, when shares bought/sold are in $, share price is rightly shown in $ in account "Trade" but so are the fees (in my example, 5$). Given that the trading account is in £, would it not be expected that the fees are also in £ (in my example £5) ?

In both cases, everything is then converted to the base currency.

When adding my last comment and example file, I forgot to change the status back to REPORTED, my apologies

I have seen that, in the commit with over 80 changes for appimage 5.0.80 (made a week ago), there is one change regarding investment currency.
What has this changed? Because I have tried with the file in attachment 124940 [details] and still getting the same issue of the fee being shown in the same currency as the share rather than that of the trading account. So, am I setting up this wrongly ?

Sorry for the delay in working on this issue. Regarding the file attached: how did you create it? It contains data that is not created by KMyMoney which causes the application to crash here (master branch plus many local changes). E.g.:

  <ACCOUNT currency="EUR" id="102-category" lastmodified="" number="" description="" parentaccount="AStd::Income" lastreconciled="" opened="1900-01-01" type="12" institution="" name="Investment Income">

A value like "102-category" as id is never produced by KMyMoney. How can that happen?

Investment currency

Hello,

Thank you very much for looking into this. I am not sure about the issue on the original file. I might have used an old template that with remnants of an imported file. I have created this new file from scratch. Does it still cause issues?
