When categories in a tree use different currencies, the Total Value column is wrong. Example: - set up EUR & BAM currencies, updating the exchange rate. - create Expense:Groceries in EUR - create Expense:Groceries:BAM in BAM - enter an expense transaction for 175 BAM with Groceries:BAM category. - open Categories view - collapse Groceries category Expected Result: The Groceries should display the amount calculated in EUR. Actual Result: Groceries category shows Total Value of 175 EUR. This is wrong as BAM is close to 0.5 EUR.
Created attachment 108192 [details] test case Opening the appended test case does not show this issues - the expense sum category shows 89,32 € as expected. Can you give some more info to reproduce this issue ?
Thanks for the timely reply. Just double-checked and now I see where the problem lies. I originally reported the wrong currency as I was testing expenses in (too many) multiple currencies. This actually manifests with IRR currency (and the Groceries:IRR expense category), not BAM. Digging deeper, I see that the reason is the exchange rate. It is originally 1/1 with EUR. However, BAM has the correct exchange rate. Now I tried another case in HRK and I see that the initial exchange rate is 1/1 when creating a cash account. It is very possible that I mixed currencies while testing and then got to the wrong conclusion. I have also updated to 4.8.1 in the meantime.
And now I see why. I was trying this at work and the quote retrieval does not seem to figure out the proxy settings so the new accounts keep the default exchange rate of 1/1. When working from a PC without proxy, the quotes update normally. Mistery resolved. Cheers
