Matt, I see one huge problem: where are you balancing the funds for the allocated accounts? They need balancing, and once you add something to balance them, you might as well male them Subaccounts of checking anyway. Cheers,David

In your example, you had a balancing Cr on the parent when you allocated the money. So, we receive a $1000 pay check, and want to allocate $500 to the four accounts: Cr Income: Salary $1000 Dr Asset:Current:Checking $1000 Cr Asset:Current:AllocatedCash $500 Dr. Assets:Allocated:Vacation $250 Dr. Assets:Allocated:Insurance $150 Dr. Assets:Allocated:Dining $ 50 Dr. Assets:Allocated:Coffee&Tea $ 50 _______________________________________________ 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.
