One needn’t actually merge these. Here is what I do: 2015/12/31 Credit card payment Assets:Checking -$100 Transfer:AC->LCC $100 2016/01/01 Payment received Liabilities:CreditCard $100 Transfer:AC->LCC -$100 Some kind person on the list pointed out this technique a while ago. This makes import easier and allows for a difference in transit time. All Transfer:* accounts should balance to $0, so you have an additional check that everything is balancing out. best, Erik -- Sent from my free software system <http://fsf.org/>. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
