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

You can certainly do so. The exact work flow can vary depending on your precise needs. I don't often have very long transactions (30 or more items) but it does happen a few times a year. I frequently have transactions with at least 5 or so 'splits'. I'd recommend experimenting with either

Subfolders is a good alternative, better for reports over multiple years but more maintenance creating and destroying folders. If GNUCash wanted, they might make a magic subcategory /Prior to qualify the date's year to year - 1, but that seems very tricky to code into every date filter.
