Somehow my previous email was sent before I had finished typing it. I have an investment of NAB shares that I acquired as part of their employee incentive program years ago and I'm trying to figure out the best way to record it in GnuCash.
The shares were worth $3000 at the time of allotment. They were released to me at the value of $2732.85. They pay a regular dividend twice a year. That dividend is reinvested as part of a dividend reinvestment program (DRP). Any remainder from the DRP is held over until the next cycle. So take the payment on 2008-12-17. There was 24.25 held over from the previous cycle. The dividend was also 24.25. Total to reinvest is 48.50. Shares 2 @ 18.64 = 37.28 Remainder held until next cycle 48.50 - 37.28 = 11.22. [image: image.png] Now, in the portfolio report, if I set the date ot the date of that transaction, I get: [image: image.png] 'Money in' should be $2732.85 but it includes the 13.03 that was used from the held over dividend? I don't feel like it should, as I have not contributed any money into the system. The accounts are laid out as below: [image: image.png] Should the DRP Holding account have a different type? Should it be located somewhere else? Is there a better way to record this? -- Cheers, Andrew.
