09:22:22 <frozenjim> Vendor Report for vendors using USD accounts is blank. I have had to save a custom report (Vendor Report (USD)) and it works. But this seems error prone as staff will NOT remember to check both the "Vendor Report" and the "Vendor Report USD". Is there a way to attach the correct Vendor Report to a given vendor?
09:22:48 <frozenjim> The challenge is that the A/P accounts are different - one is AP and the other is AP/USD.

10:35:40 <warlord> frozenjim: sorry, no -- you need to make sure you choose the correct AP account for the vendor.
10:36:01 *** CiscoNY has joined #gnucash
10:36:11 <frozenjim> Fair enough. Thanks Warlord.
10:37:05 <frozenjim> Oh.... wait.... That may solve another problem then. So I can pay the same vendor in many currencies... I just need to select the correct AP at Bill time. Is this accurate?
10:37:22 <CiscoNY> hola alguien habla español ?
10:37:52 <warlord> CiscoNY: un poquito, pero yo prefero ingles
10:38:10 *** mlncn has joined #gnucash
10:38:23 <warlord> frozenjim: Mostly... you need to make sure the vendor bill gets set to the correct currency, which it pulls from the vendor.
10:38:41 <warlord> so it's *hard* to have a single vendor that can be billed in multiple currencies.

10:46:10 <gjanssens> frozenjim: you can pay your bills in any currency you want regardless of the A/P account selected
10:46:37 <gjanssens> GnuCash will ask for an exchange rate when needed.
10:46:50 <frozenjim> Sweet. Just solved my 3-hour problem this morning with an invoice in multi currencies.
10:47:35 *** CiscoNY has quit IRC
10:47:37 <frozenjim> Thanks both. I'll experiment a bit, but I think you've given me what I need.

12:25:27 <frozenjim> What problems will I encounter if I switch a vendor from CAD to USD? I will switch their default AP account to the USD A/P.

14:33:22 <warlord> frozenjim: shouldn't have an issue, unless you have currently unposted invoices, or possibly in the future unpost and repost
15:38:42 *** mlncn has quit IRC
15:44:34 <frozenjim> warlord: Great. Thanks a bunch.
15:50:23 <frozenjim> Paying a bill via wire transfer. There is a $50 charge for the wire transfer that I cannot account for in the "Pay Bill" area. Are you folks generally making a manual entry into "Bank Fees" to cover the wire fee, or is there a better way?
15:51:43 <warlord> I would pay the bill first as normal (Process Payment), then add the wire fee split and adjust the bank account amount.
15:52:25 <warlord> I.e., Process Payment for $123.45, then expand the transaction, add a split for the $50 fee, and then change the Bank split to $173.45 (wthout changing the A/R split)
15:53:07 <frozenjim> That is more elegant. I'll give it a shot!

16:00:16 *** frozenjim has joined #gnucash
16:12:51 <frozenjim> Wow. That was slick. Created "expenses/bank fees/transfer fees/transfer fees (USD)". Manually changed the payment amount as you said and entered the fees. The USD fees roll right up into "transfer Fees" but I see it in CAD. And my Vendor Report remains accurate. HOT DOG this software makes me smile sometimes! :-)
16:16:30 <warlord> :)
