Hi Klavs:

When you're handling exchange rates, in your chart of accounts there
should be a provision for an exchange rate gain account and another for
exchange rate loss.

In my opinion and considering the object of SL, one exchange rate per
day should suffice, if not, you can always register an exchange rate
gain/loss.

How to do it? Go the general (transaction) ledger and input a separate
transaction for the gain/loss by affecting the proper accounts. One word
of caution though! Be careful with the kind of accounts you're affecting
and keep in mind their respective nature! In case of doubt, speak to
your accountant for proper pointers. As a matter of fact, having your
accountant revise the whole chart of accounts and letting it be
customized to your particular business' needs is never a bad idea ;-)
