[GNC] Split Transaction now lists 2 items?
I had been using the transaction split to account for varied spending from a cash withdrawal. It would be listed as 1 line item - ATM Draw - Cash - Split - $200 Opening the split I could define Expense: Dining - $110 Expense: Cleaning - $90 But now, when I create that same transactions, it lists 2 items in the ledger - 1 for $100 and the next entry for $90. What am I doing wrong? ___ 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.

Two entries for a single transaction means that the transaction has two splits in the account. You might consider using the "Cash in Wallet" account as an intermediate, so an ATM withdrawal is Bank Account -> Cash in Wallet and cash spending is Cash in Wallet -> Expenses_Account, all simple (i.e. two-split) transactions.

...So if you want to see only one line in the register view for a particular account, enter only the total in the split line for that account.

Re: [GNC] Split Transaction now lists 2 items?
I’m not sure if it’s the same issue really. I’m entering the transaction the same way I have been for several months yet recently it’s been problematic last 2 weeks. I enter the total on 1 register line like this: Cash - $200 Then I right click and select split and enter: —-——-— Expense $110 — Cleaning $ 90 Assets Checking $200 Press Return (enter) And I’d see 1 line in register reading: Cash - Split - $200 Now I see 2 lines in register reading: Cash - Split - $110 Cash - Split - $ 90 > On Oct 19, 2018, at 8:36 AM, David Carlson > wrote: > > ...So if you want to see only one line in the register view for a > particular account, enter only the total in the split line for that > account.

Re: [GNC] Split Transaction now lists 2 items?
Personally, I got so tired of right-clicking to split and not being able to see the detail of splits at a glance (nearly all of my transactions contain multiple splits, I rarely have just a Dr/Cr basic transaction) that I just switched to Transaction View and never looked back. (I also eventually turned on Double Line mode when I figured out that gave me an overall transaction note, instead of just memos for the splits) That might be why I didn’t notice this change. Also, I tried a test transaction as you’ve described and I can’t even duplicate either result. First, you enter Cash $200, but then you’ve entered three splits for Expense ($110), Cleaning ($90) and Checking ($200) - that doesn’t balance. Are you spending money from the Cash account or the Checking account? You only need one of those to balance the Expense and Cleaning debits. Are you also withdrawing cash? Paying partially from both Cash & Checking? I’m not sure where you’re entering this transaction, but I know some people like using the Journal out of habit. However, I find a more reliable workflow is to always enter transactions in the register money is coming *from* and I never make a mess.
