Reporting expenses in a single currency

[Kamal Marhubi]

I'm in the process of tidying up my books and sending some rather late invoices to a client. I have some reimbursable expenses in multiple currencies—CAD, USD, EUR, let's say. I invoice this client in USD, and would like to report the expenses in their original currency along with the rate used to convert.

I've tried a couple of things

- using the convert-to drop down in fava

- making a variety of queries using CONVERT

I have USD and CAD as operating currencies in case that is relevant. I have tried switching that to only one or the other.

My current workaround is to record the transactions without the currency / price. This gets me what I want, but goes against beancount's philosophy of never needing to tweak your input to get the output you want.

I found lots of seemingly related topics on the mailing list and bug tracker, but none of them seemed to help when I tried them out. Is there a way to get the results I'm looking for?

Thanks,
