When splitting an account (one account becomes two) a little planning ahead can greatly reduce the amount of work, especially if it is the bulk of the transactions that will be moved to the new account.

If most transactions are to be moved to one account it can be worth renaming the account and moving out the other transactions. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] question - how do I move one or more transactions between accounts?
The method described by DaveC49 is about the only practical way to do it. However, if you want to change the account for a split line from the current account to a different account, it is faster to first jump to one of the other accounts in that transaction before changing. Changing the "home" is much slower, and waiting for the transaction to disappear is a pain in the neck.

Shay With double entry bookkeeping each transaction affects at least two account. Understand? A transaction is never "in" just one account. "How do I change one of these accounts?" Open the transaction in the other account. In edit transaction mode, respecify the other account..If the error was in a slit transaction, find it in any of the other account, enter split mode, and respecify the one that is wrong. "How do I change both accounts? Do the previous process twice, fix one, then from that account, fix the other. "How do I do this according to more formal bookkeeping procedures?" In more formal bookkeeping, once entered, a transaction is never altered. I am not talking about wile you were working, but when correcting at some later date. Instead, you enter a transaction to correct the account making it clear what you are doing in the description.

Re: [GNC] question - how do I move one or more transactions between accounts?
To move one split of a transaction from one account to another if you edit the transaction in the register for the account of the split which is going to be unchanged. A all you have to do is change the account in the Account column. Delete the existing selected account and you should get a drop down list which will allow you to select the new account for the split.
