I'm using Accounted in UK, but carry out transactions in EUROs and DOLLARs as well as POUNDs. I'm entering historical data and have the following options set in Company | Currencies:
Enable Currencies - checked
Symbols, Exchange Rate and Tag for the 3 currencies above
Save Exchange Rates on Per-Item-Basis - checked
For items that are quite a while ago, the exchange rate recorded with the transaction is wrong, I'd like to change it to match reality. How can I do that?

That setting will take a snapshot of the current exchange rate when it the item is created as to preserve historical data. Currently you cannot manually edit the exchange rate for items directly in Studiometry or Accounted.
Thanks for your reply.
I found that by changing the Company Currency Setting to the correct value for a given transaction and then editing that transaction, I could change the exchange rate for that transaction (without affecting the ex rate for other txns) - not an elegant solution, however, a good enough work around for my purposes.
The facility to edit the per-item exchange rate would be useful if you are able to implement that in the future.
I am encountering a couple of errors with non-default currencies (i.e. Default currency USD, secondary currency EUR) when working manually with the exchange rates:
I have confirmed this behavior using “Manual” exchange rates, I cannot confirm if the same thing happens with the other two options.
Apart from correcting these two errors, can we also get an option to manually override the exchange rate on the transaction itself?
Thanks,
Miguel
Do you have the setting enabled in the company settings section to "Save Exchange Rates on per-item Basis"? This should be turned on to ensure exchange rates do not update for older items.
