[SL] Foreign currency issue/bug in 2.8.5

[Armaghan S. <sa...@le...>]

Hi everybody,

In 2.8.5 Transfer cash functionality with FX flag for
foreign currencies has been removed in favour of
currency/exchange rate in GL.

The transactions I was able to make in previous
versions are now no longer possible.

Here is a step by step description of the problem:

NEW WAY
========
1. I enter currency code, exchange rate and
Debit CAD with 1000, Credit USD with 1000.

2. Exchange rate gets applied to both transactions
and there are four transactions in 'acc_trans' table as:
(1) Debit CAD with 1000
(2) Debit CAD with 320 marked AS FX
(3) Credit USD with 1000
(4) Credit USD with 320 marked AS FX

The cash report shows CAD=1000 (when FX suppressed)
whereas it should should 1320. NOT CORRECT.

The cash report shows USD=1000 (when FX suppressed)
which is CORRECT.


OLD WAY
========
(1) Debit CAD with 1320
(2) Credit USD with 1000
(3) Credit USD with 320 AS fx

Cash report for CAD as well as USD is correct.

----
Am I missing something or this is a missing
feature or bug in 2.8.5.

As per my testing, currency code and conversion
rate in 2.8.5 has no use because the conversion
rate gets applied to all transaction lines.

Plz help by suggesting some workaround or
pointing me in the right direction.


Thanks in advance and my regards
Armaghan
