Thanks Liz.
As I said in an earlier post I have no experience with Quicken.

enforce this. Second, Intuit has apparently sold Quicken.

Dale,
There is a wiki page on the migration from Quicken
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Quicken_Migration) and perhaps this is a more
appropriate place to document differences for new users coming from other
packages as hopefully this is where they will end up. Perhaps a note

The OP was fairly light on details. (and gave a general “I don’t understand”
but never said specifically ‘what’ they didn’t understand)
It seems a few people hazarded a guess and might have gotten it right. (we
haven’t heard back from the OP yet since)
Another approach would be to tell

Gnucash IS ordinary, run of the mill, double
The problem is actually that in these consumer oriented packages the
paradigm is different. In Gnucash the chart of accounts is fundamental. In
Quickbooks the initial screen shows a set of tasks: add a customer, pay
bills, enter charges, etc. Clicking on these brings up a set of account
names,

I think Frank is on the right track. The original poster is coming from
Quicken which I have never used. I think it is similar to Quickbooks
which I have used a little. Journal entries are used for corrections,
some transfers between accounts, etc., in Quickbooks.
Gnucash does not have a special

I'm not sure how this is a challenge, especially since both John and

Harald,
The following section in the GnuCash help manual gives the details of
creating a transaction entry in GnuCash
(https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-enter.html).
It assumes that you have the register (table of transactions for a specific
account) open. You can do this in
