3 - G/L is General Ledger
Ah..... being misled by the name of the report.
This is a situation where useful to understand how traditional pen and
ink on paper bookkeeping worked. You FIRST entered transactions in
chronological order into a "book" called the Journal. These entries were
then "posted" to the Ledger (to the ledger accounts affected).
Gnucash allows us to enter the transactions beginning in any of the
affected ledger accounts. We don't even see something resembling a
journal entry unless entering a "split transaction". In other words, the
journal is virtual.
But gnucash CAN show you the journal if you ask it to. As a report. Your
problem is with your expectation of what you are looking at when you ask
gnucash to give you a G/L or General Journal report.
