Description vms 2003-09-21 15:44:43 UTC 
In general ledger on a transaction to an account that doesn't use my 
default currency, in the exchange rate field I can't enter an exchange rate 
of 0.000026 - it gets rounded to 0.00003 and of course I end up with 
another amount in that account. (my default currency is ROL and the other 
account is in EUR, and the exchange rate is 1 EUR = 37500 ROL , 0.000026 
EUR = 1 ROL...)
Comment 1 Derek Atkins 2003-09-22 14:15:17 UTC 
Do you know the exact amount?  If so, enter that instead.
Comment 2 vms 2003-09-23 11:46:14 UTC 
If I enter the exact amount it calculates the exchange rate
(aproximated to 0.00003 not to 0.000026) and it changes the exact sum
I entered. So if for example I enter 95 in exact , it transforms it to
106.5....
Comment 3 Peter Severin 2004-04-05 11:11:30 UTC 
It also affects reports. For example I use to print my reports using the EUR
currency. This means that I need to specify the price for ROL currency. 1ROL =
1/37500 EUR gets rounded to 0.00003 and hence inexact reports.

I'll take ownership for when I look at these problems at some point.

Comment 10 Christian Stimming 2006-08-11 09:40:31 UTC 
Development on 1.8.x has stopped. Is this still a problem in the 1.9.x/2.0.x series of gnucash?
