I'm using InvestFields to create a a transaction for a sell XFER - the XFER is to an account with a different currency. Is there a way to adjust the exchange rate? Basically, I need access to the splittxn that is created.

I've thought about creating a plain sell and then another separate parent/split transaction to effect the transfer. Is there a better (easier) way>

   Hi Bob,

   I think using a SellXfr transaction is the way to go, by setting investfields.txnType to InvestTxnType.SELL_XFER.

   To adjust the exchange rate for that transaction you'll need to get the split from the ParentTxn that you pass in the call to InvestFields.storeFields(ParentTxn). You should be able to get that split by calling TxnUtil.getXfrPart(ParentTxn). By default InvestFields should be setting the default exchange rate from the currency objects for inter-currency transactions. If the InvestFields is for an existing inter-currency transaction it should re-use the same exchange rate.

   Thanks!
   Sean
