Hi @rishi-tripathy thanks for opening this!

Could you elaborate on how you would imagine the conversion to the primary currency would work? Currently in our general ledger model, amounts are taken from journal_line table but there does not exist a conversion rate field in that table.

I am looking through our ERD to figure out the best way to bring conversion rate into the models. In the meantime, let me know if you have found an accurate way of doing so?
