Is there somewhere to view a report or log of
1. Journal Inquiry modifications
2. Void entries

Thanks!

Hi, is there way to limit which group of users
/admin/security_roles.php?

have access to editing or modifying Journal Inquiry entries
/gl/gl_journal.php?ModifyGL=Yes&trans_no=4409&trans_type=0

so that I can stop the user from going back and editing journal entries depending on their level of access

maybe a button to click to make it semi automatic

ok now that i have made all the posts i clearly understand how it works, and work it does.
at times it is a few cents out. max of 20 cents out. not sure why.
as you said it is

exchange_variance = (old_rate-current_rate)* account_balance.

OR probably easier to understand

Take your GBP balance in your bankaccount and multiply it with the exchange-rate from the last day of transactions. This should give the same balance as in the GL account.

I couldn't find a sticky or wiki on this topic so perhaps do one to explain how it all works.

Yes! It works just fine if I enter the GBP payments in sequentially by date as they appear on the bank statement. No extra exchange variance entries are coming up at all now that I am entering them in sequence.

You guys are amazing. You provide better support than any paid support I have experienced on top of a great free open source product. Time to donate smile

ok i didn't get it before re: the account balance. so if the payments/deposits are not entered sequentially that could cause the numbers above?

i will void all the payments / deposits and enter them sequentially and let you know how that goes.

Hi,

I am not using the GL account 1210 for any journal entries. It only has bank deposits and payments into it including the the opening balance. In addition GL account 1210 has one GBP bank account assigned to it.

Regarding your 2nd paragraph 'Be aware of the transaction date', I am not sure if I understand it, but in my example below I made a bank payment entry for GBP 39.47. I put the date in as the 9th feb which was when the payment was made, and the GL transaction details came out as below. I understand the 61.61 is the USD equivilant of GBP 39.47, which I guess makes the rate on the date GBP 1: USD 1.56. That's fine. It's just the bottom two automatic extra GL transaction details  of 980.58 which seem incorrect.

5030     Hosting / Domains     61.61
1210     Lloyds GBP Account                     61.61   
1210     Lloyds GBP Account     980.58                      Exchange Variance
4920     Foreign Exchange Gain                 980.58     Exchange Variance

I also posted that exact same bank payment a couple of weeks earlier and it gave totally different results, which also seem incorrect. Below is the GL transaction details of that.

5030     Hosting / Domains     61.61        
1210     Lloyds GBP Account                 61.61    
1210     Lloyds GBP Account     147.58                Exchange Variance
4920     Foreign Exchange Gain           147.58 Exchange Variance

As you can see the conversion of GBP 39.47 to USD 61.61 stays the same, which is fine, but then the bottom two automatic extra GL transaction details  of 146.58 seem incorrect, and are totally different to 980.58

another example of an actual post to a GBP account in out USD based accounts. The amount was entered today as GBP 39.47 and the date of the transaction entered was 9th Feb 2010. Below is what happened in USD.

5030     Hosting / Domains     61.61
1210     Lloyds GBP Account                     61.61    
1210     Lloyds GBP Account     980.58         Exchange Variance
4920     Foreign Exchange Gain                       980.58     Exchange Variance

As you can see the foreign exchange gain has no bearing on the changes in the GBP:USD at that time or since then.

It seems the amounts it posts to the foreign exchange gain are incorrect. From my understanding of what you are saying, in my example above it would mean the change in the curreny rate between USD and GBP was 100% (or 1:1 to 2:1) which did not happen?

Also is there a way to stop the foreign exchange gain from automatically being posted, and then I can manually revalue it when I choose.?

I am using 2.2.7 and also had this error in 2.2.6

I currently only use really use the banking and general ledger tab in front for bank deposits, bank payments and journal entries (and dimensions and setup occasionally).

My default currency is USD. I also have a GBP account setup.

At the moment any bank payments or deposits I make into the GBP account always add 2 extra journals. example below on the bottom 2 lines.
7901     Bank Charges     7 General           12.35         Bank Charges
1210     Lloyds GBP Account                     12.35    
1210     Lloyds GBP Account                 12.35         Exchange Variance
4920     Foreign Exchange Gain                     12.35     Exchange Variance

It is always the Foreigh Exchange Gain account that is posted to whether it is a payment or deposit made to the GBP account.

I think this is a bug that was not around in 2.2.5, although I don't want to post it to bugs until I understand more. I could just be missing something about this exchange variance thing.

I have a number of staff only receipt or do bank deposits only. I would like them to

either
1. have access to be able to view bank deposits only.
or
2. have access to view a specific bank in 'Bank Account Inquiry'

Is that possible?

Hi,
I am using 2.2.2
I used the south african chart of accounts from your download section.
I have just finished doing 2009 books.
The profit and loss report is perfect.
The balance sheet balances and is almost perfect except ...

under Assets there are no totals for 'Investments' or 'Bank Accounts' or 'Intangible Assets'
under Liabilities 'Total Investments' and 'Total Bank Accounts' and 'Total Intangible Assets' appear, and they should not, and the totals in them do not seem to be related the total investments or bank accounts from assets. I have bolded this problem below. Is this a bug or ????

Well done on a great system! I have searched the net for a long time to find this gem you have created.

I would like to be able to email an order, delivery note, invoice, payment etc .. directly after I have created it.

At the moment after creation of say an order I get

'View This Order'
'Print This Order'
'Make Delivery Against This Order'
'Enter a New Order'

I'd love it to be

'View This Order'
'Print This Order'
'Email This Order'
'Make Delivery Against This Order'
'Enter a New Order'

and it would email the relevant customer etc ...

instead of having to go to reports to do it.

Thanks,

Garth
