This is a gnucash-devel question, not a gnucash-user question.
I'd have to look to see how is it actually implemented, but I dont have time this week.. Maybe someone else will.. Ask specifically
on -devel.
I did. :) Roberto's comment removed -devel, but my original question was to -devel. There .... I just re-added -devel to the CC list.
So, I'm guessing, that most likely it looks at the balance as of the last reconciled transaction. But, I asked to get a definitive answer.
Yes, but the balance of a particular transaction is computed 'recursively' from the balance of the previous transaction.
Oh, okay, so "interest payment" means *interest earned* on that account? Yeah, I'm with you, I think I would prefer to actually enter that manually. Weird. Why do we have this option?
Yes, it's the "Interested Paid to you for allowing the bank to use your money" It's here because some people felt it was a decent place to add it for simple bank-statements. Some banks don't actually consider the interest to be a "transactions", and they are placed on the statement as a separate line-item.
Basically, it's a UI "syntactic sugar" for entering an interest payment transaction.
Note that in credit cards or, the interest could be paid BY you instead of paid TO you...
Excellent. Thanks for the explanation.
