I'm not certain what you are describing, but I'll hazard a guess that
you are seeing GnuCash auto-balance the transaction. That is normal.
Every transaction has to be balanced. (Debits *must* equal Credits)
You are free to enter the transaction however you like, as long as that
holds true. If your self-entered amounts do not result in equal Debits &
Credits, GnuCash will create a split initially not assigned to any
account, but when you commit the transaction and that split remains, it
will be assigned to the account labeled: 'Imbalance-XXX' (where XXX is a
currency code) for the difference.
Please read the GnuCash Help Manual and the Tutorial & Concepts Guide
available in the Help Menu, or online, as you are learning the software.
Then if you get stuck, come back and ask for help here.

Adrien

When I do the View > Transaction and put in individual numbers for each item in

has come up with.
That's exactly what happened previously. I don't want it adding numbers, or
changing numbers. I just want to put in the correct values for each line,
including tax, hit return and have the final value show up on the first line of
the transaction.
I obviously don't know what I am doing.
Help!
