Hi, Harry, What I do is simply create a transaction which subtracts shares from one accounts and puts them into the other. This, of course, does not track the original prices. For that you'd need to do something similar to what scrubbing does. Note that I don't use scrubbing as I found it makes things worse for me rather than better. To my understanding, scrubbing will work at all only if you sell. It will then match the sold split(s) to the purchased split(s). However, if you buy 10 units twice (10 + 10) at different prices, and then sell (or move) 15 at once, I don't GnuCash will help you much in keeping track of original purchase prices for the lot.
In that regard, I'm also interested in what others are doing. For those rare cases when I do sell, I created a Python script that performs "scrubbing" in-memory and calculates the original prices for the lots but does not write anything to the book. Then I can create transactions manually to reflect the real life. I actually use it mostly for the accurate calculation of the average purchase price as it takes into account only the prices for the shares I actually own, assuming FIFO, of course. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ 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.
