Re: [GNC] Deleting a transaction which includes a reconciled split doesn't bring up a warning

2019-08-15 Thread Adrien Monteleone
You should get a confirmation on deleting the transaction, but I don’t think 
there is a separate one for the fact that it is reconciled. I could be mistaken.

Actions > Reset Warnings will show you what you have suppressed and allow you 
to clear that preference so you’ll see the warnings again.

[GNC] Deleting a transaction which includes a reconciled split doesn't bring up a warning

2019-08-15 Thread Michael Hendry
Income from various members of my Rotary Club at weekly meetings destined for a 
particular charity (say Income:CharityX) now needs to be attributed to 
individual members for Gift Aid tax reclamation purposes.

I have set up individual accounts (Income:CharityX:Member01, 
Income:CharityX:Member02 etc) to enable this to be recorded and reported on in 
due course, and am working on the necessary editing of existing transactions.

The method I have adopted is to create a dummy transaction between Assets:Petty 
Cash and each of these Member accounts, but with no amounts recorded, and then 
duplicate this to every date on which a CharityX transaction has already been 
recorded.

The next step is to fill in the necessary contributions in the dummy 
transaction and then delete the original (two-split) transaction.

I expected to be warned that the Petty Cash split had been already been 
reconciled, and that bad things would happen to my next reconciliation, as 
happens when an attempt is made to edit a reconciled transaction, but no such 
warning came up.

I can’t find any option in Preferences to suggest that I’ve switched off the 
reminder I’d expected to see - shouldn’t a deletion be regarded as an edit of 
sorts, and bring up a suitable warning?

Regards,

Michael
