I have been able to reproduce the same situation on another installation of FA2.4.7 too.
I never run into this because on corporations, I never needed to have a foreign currency account. Until now.

I've tried to check the code, but I am not able to pinpoint it, probably need a longer session or more expertise.

@albertolima is correct.
I am able to reproduce the same scenario.. So there must be an explanation to this, or a fix if broken.

The bank account must be in foreign currency
Then create a journal entry onto that bank account related gl account, in local currency
Then, go to bank inquiry, and that journal entry is not there

I shall check with a different installation tonight and revert back with a video link if the issue is not a corrupted setup

Looks like a strange issue. I just tried to make one myself local version. Looks it create both entries ( gl_trans and bank trans) both tables.

1. Did you made any change in FA program..?

2. Check your error log and get us the error detail?.

3. If possible record a video from test company and show us ?

I still see a missed entry when I do BANK_INQUIRY
Journal Entry 110 086/2021 05/07/2021 10.00 -40.00 TEST-Journal entry in EUR

This is the same bank account from GENERAL LEDGER INQUIRY
Journal Entry 110 086/2021 05/07/2021 6,559.57 551,615.82 TEST-Journal entry in EUR
Journal Entry 111 087/2021 05/07/2021 6,560.00 558,175.82 TEST-Journal entry in XAF

Journal entry #111 is missing from Bank Account inquiry.
It was entered in XAF, and converted using the dropdown currency converter, but the data is not saved into the bank_trans database, therefore the gl account and the bank account balances do not match.

I believe the intention is to have them match both ways: if you enter it through banking, it must show on GL; if you enter the journal from GL, it should show on banking. Am I getting it wrong?

The bank entry can be in bank currency. General ledgers always in a home currency, it will be applied with exchange rate and maintain in company currency one.

If the bank account is not home currency. The GL balance doesn't same with bank balance. Hope that explains.

Not sure if it is the same issue, but what I am seeing is that journal entries that have been entered using the dropdown currency converter are not taken into consideration when obtaining the balance in the bank account inquiry.

Scenario:
1-My main currency is XAF, and I have a foreign bank account in EUR
2-I enter a JOURNAL ENTRY into this foreign account, in my local currency XAF, selecting the currency from the dropdown combobox (we may now do it in FA). Then I go to Bank Inquiry to look for that journal entry, and it does_not show up.
3-I repeat the same operation, but I do select EUR directly from the JOURNAL ENTRY, and I enter the journal in EUR. In this situation, I may see the journal entry when I check in BANK INQUIRY.

This makes GENERAL LEDGER balance not match with BANK INQUIRY balance.

Is this an expected behavior? Is FA expecting all bank movements to be entered directly as Bank deposits/withdraws?

Check if there are any un-reconciled entries in your bank account that is not there in your trial balance and vice-versa and pass necessary Journal entriess.
