This demonstrates a fix to https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798716
It shows the structure of new functionality to add, since I think the current functions do not allow this.
In essence, for budget reporting, the balance difference of an account should be computed in the local currency first, and then the change should be converted to a parent currency. The results for all sub-accounts are "rolled up" the account hierarchy in the same way as usual, using
