Idea: Consolidation method shoud NOT be connected to the account setup Income/Balance

When consolidating companies with different local currencies, this works fine and also the "normal" way of handling currency rate recalculations works fine.

This is the "normal" consolidation setup regarding currency:
Balanceposts - amounts YTD get recalculated using the latest closing rate
Income statement accounts - net change current month gets recalculated using average rate

But I have a problem for a Swedish company where the auditors demand that for some specific balance accounts for ex specific accrued costs - that the average rate must be used as a Consolidation Metod/Rate. If I change the Consol. Transaltion Method to "Average Rate" for these specific accounts - it still takes the closing rate! The solution is to change the setup on the account so that is instead set up as a "Income Statement" - account. If I do that my consolidation will use the correct currency-rates - BUT I must remember to change the setup back to "Balance"-account before closing the year/running the Close Income Statement.

So my wish/idea is that the functionality "Consol. Translation Method" should NOT be connected to the account setup "Income/Balance" but instead ONLY use/look at the "Consol. Translation Method"
