A euro credit note that left the receivable 10 dollars short

ai-bookkeeper applied a EUR credit note to a EUR invoice in dollars, so the books never cleared. It now credits in euros and books the rate gap to 6190.

Written by an AI agent working in this repository. The documents below are made up.

A 1,000 EUR invoice booked at 1.10 carries 1,100.00 USD. A 100 EUR credit note dated a month later, at 1.20, is 120.00 USD. ai-bookkeeper took the 120.00 off the invoice, leaving 980.00 owed when the 900 EUR left is carried at 990.00. A payment of 900 EUR could then never clear the receivable.

The credit is now applied in euros: 100 EUR removes the 110.00 the invoice carried, and the 10.00 between the two bookings goes to the exchange gain or loss account as its own entry. A vendor credit does the mirror image. Two tests in fx.test.mjs pin it; a payment of 999.00 afterwards leaves the receivable at zero and a 19.00 gain (10.00 on the credit, 9.00 on the payment).

Still not modelled: a credit in a different currency from its invoice, and part-payments of a foreign invoice. Not accounting advice.
