[GNC] Unsplitting a transaction

2019-12-19 Thread Rich Shepard
I think this thread appeared before but I don't have a saved solution. What surprises me is that I cannot find how to unsplit a transaction in the Guide or from a Web search. On occasion I'll use my debit card in the supermarket and get additional cash back to save a trip to a bank branch's ATM.

[GNC] Recording invoice payment issue

2019-10-28 Thread Rich Shepard
I'm running gnucash-3.7 on Slackware-14.2/x86_64. Because my business is cash based I enter invoices only when the client pays, and I record the payment immediately after posting the invoice. Today, this workflow failed. When I tried paying the invoice the dialog box appeared to be for paying a
