10:27:35 <MattJ> Afternoon all
10:28:07 <jsled> 'morning. :)
10:28:12 <MattJ> :)
10:28:21 <MattJ> I'm trying to figure out a peculiarity, namely invoicing in a currency that I don't bank in
10:28:46 <MattJ> in the manual the examples are for if you have accounts in that foreign currency
10:29:10 <warlord> MattJ: You will need an A/R, Bank, and Income account all in the same currency.
10:29:25 <warlord> (as the invoice)
10:29:34 <MattJ> so I must create accounts in gnucash for the foreign currency?
10:29:50 <warlord> If you want to invoice in that foreign currency, yes.
10:30:07 <MattJ> What's happening at the moment is that I'm using my native currency for the invoice, but the customer is set to the foreign currency
10:30:16 <warlord> and you must (manually) make sure you use the correct set of accounts or the invoices will silently use '0'.
10:30:16 <MattJ> It just doesn't appear on the balances at all
10:30:30 <MattJ> Yeah, that's what I'm seeing I think :)
10:30:34 <warlord> you are
10:30:40 <warlord> All currencies must match.
10:30:42 <MattJ> Ok, that helps, thanks :)
10:31:12 <MattJ> I suppose I must manually transfer from the foreign currency account to my native one?
10:33:55 <warlord> Yep.
10:34:19 <MattJ> Ok, thanks :)
10:34:25 <warlord> Read the email archives for how to recover your broken invoice
10:34:33 <MattJ> Ah, will do
10:34:40 <warlord> Or.. I think I might've put it in the FAQ.
10:34:43 <warlord> (not sure about that)
10:35:41 <MattJ> should I be looking for broken invoices in general, or specifically when posted to an account in the wrong currency?
10:36:10 <warlord> only when currencies dont match
10:36:30 <warlord> (and you only need to go through the elaborate process to change the invoice currency.. Account currencies are easy to change)
10:36:52 <MattJ> ok

16:39:00 <nobull> Hello, I am just using gnucash for personal finances. I was just wondering what the best way to set up a budget is.
16:41:46 <cortana> have you checked the tutorial? there is a chapter on budgets in there
16:41:52 <cortana> http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/guide/chapter15.html online :)
