Transaction does not balance with foreign currency conversion

[salmi....@gmail.com]

I'm trying to add a transaction about a fund I bought recently. My own currency is in euros and the fund's currency is SEK. Based on the documents from my bank I created the following transaction entry:

2019-06-12 price SEK                      0.0938 EUR

2019-06-12 * "Superruotsi osto"

  Assets:Nordnet:SuperrahastoRuotsi            1.5613 SUPERRUOTSI {375.57 SEK}

  Assets:Nordnet:Cash                             -55.00 EUR @ SEK

However, I get bean count error: 

Transaction does not balance: (-0.0000000000000000000000001 SEK)

   2019-06-13 * "Superruotsi osto"

     Assets:Nordnet:SuperrahastoRuotsi    1.5613 SUPERRUOTSI {375.57 SEK, 2019-06-13}   

     Assets:Nordnet:Cash                -55.0000 EUR @ 10.66140801818181818181818182 SEK

So looks like there is a precision problem with the exact values I have here. How I should go and fix this?

Once you have  enough numbers of SEK currency in your input it'll figure it out automatically.

In the meantime, add this:

option "inferred_tolerance_default"  "SEK:0.01"

Thanks, looks like that did the trick. 

However, what do you mean by "having enough numbers of SEK currency"? I can't add numbers to mark the price more accurately since my bank listed the currency rate and spent amount of SEKs only at the accuracy I used in the sample above.

It's complicated, see some history on the list for some context, Beancount is trying to figure it out itself.

The bottom line is that I want to add an option so you can just set the value and avoid inference.

Have to run,

Ah alright, that kind of an options sounds like a good addition since I have had similar balancing problems occasionally (but in the end managed to fiddle with numbers just enough to fix them).
