Thanks, so the "Job" seems a work in progress feature, and the "Default Chargeback Project" didn't do anything useful in it's current form?
Also, since I'm reviewing the GnuCash translation of my native language, I have another question regards the "Extra Payments" / "Addition to Card" field when creating an expense voucher. From what I understand, when this field is filled, it means that some amount in the expense voucher are actually paid by credit card, even it's entered as paid by cash. For example, if I have the following entries in my expense voucher: Desc Accounts Subtotal Payment Pen Expense:Office Supplies $30 Cash Glue Expense:Office Supplies $20 Charge And I set "Addition to Card" to 5, GnuCash will create a split in A/Payable with $25 (30-5), and another $5 into credit card account , which means parts of the "Pen" expense are actually already charged by credit card. My question is in what the context one will use the "Extra Payments" / "Addition to Card" instead of just select "Charge" in the entries? If there is an example, it would be really useful to help me understand the concept here, since the online manual have no information on this field. Thanks for help.
