09:56:34 <moka> Hi, I am using gnucash 5.8 for personal accounting. I have my account default currency set to EUR, as that's what I mainly used when I set it up and how I would like to see the reports. I'm currently being paid and having most of my expenses in another currency,so I have some sub-accounts (few checking bank accounts, Expenses:rent and few other things) in NON_EUR currency. I have enabled the "use trading accounts" in my book. The issue that I'm having is
09:56:34 <moka> this: when importing transactions related to the NON_EUR account, since most of the expenses accounts (eg: groceries, Car, entertainment) have EUR as default currency, I get an error message saying "Need price to transfer to account foobar". I update gnucash sporadically, so I don't have a price database always updated, and I was not able to find a way to automatically update the price editor with dates in the past. What am I missing here? Am I using gnucash
09:56:37 <moka> the wrong way for this scenario? The only solution I found until now is to update manually the price editor/edit the exchange rate per transaction but that's obviously not feasible. Thank you in advance for any advice :)

10:38:26 <fell> civil, wahrscheinlich hast du schneller Erfolg auf der deutsvhen Mailing-Liste. Siehe https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/De/Feedback#Auf_der_Mailingliste

12:08:20 <Simon> moka: you could have separate expenses accounts in a different currency
12:13:29 <moka> I thought about that, but then I will have a "double" expense account, each in every currency, right? E.g.: Expenses:Groceries:EUR Expenses:Groceries:SEK, Expenses:Groceries:NOK and so on, right? Also, I'm sure that up to some point the CSV import was working ok-ish in this scenario (I guess that for working without the price for that day some "guesswork" like using the nearest available exchange rate was needed)
