Re: [GNC] Unsplitting a transaction
Sorry! I should have mentioned that it usually occurs when I "accidently" hit the enter key and have to go back and correct the entry, removing Orphan-USD. As I started to enter this, I realized that another occasional instance can occur when I duplicate an entry then try to remove a blank line. In that case, it seems random. It is rare that I need to delete the first line. Oh! And this is on Win10 Home Bruce >Interesting and thanks for the info.

Re: [GNC] Unsplitting a transaction
Interesting and thanks for the info. I’d think that is a bug. I’m curious how the General Journal decides which split is the anchor or if it always choose the first one, or chooses at random.

Re: [GNC] Unsplitting a transaction
Adrien: (but you can remove any split from the General Journal because it doesn?t have a specific account anchor) I've been using GC since 2.6 and 99% of it is in General Journal. Frequently, when I need to delete a split, I get the notice that it is anchored. Usually, I would open the transaction in one of the other accounts and delete the offending line there.

Then click on the DELETE icon on the top menu. When you hover over it, it should say "delete split". If it says "Delete transaction" then you didn't put the focus on the split. Go back and click on the split and hover over the DELETE to verify it now says "Delete split". Alternatively, you can backspace all fields in the split and it should disappear. I haven't tried highlighting field by field and hitting the delete key -- but that should also clean out the split field by field until nothing is left of that split. -- Stephen M Butler, PMP, PSM stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com kg...@arrl.net 253-350-0166 --- GnuPG Fingerprint: 8A25 9726 D439 758D D846 E5D4 282A 5477 0385 81D8 ___ 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.

Re: [GNC] Unsplitting a transaction
Rich, You should be able to take one of several options: 1) Right click the split for the cash-back and choose ‘Delete Split’ 2) Click in the first cell of the cash-back split, highlight the contents (likely the memo is the first cell with info) and click the delete key on your keyboard. Then tab to enter the next field with everything selected, hit the delete key again, repeat until you’ve tabbed to the end and then on to the next empty split. The cash-back split line will have been removed. 3) Select the cash-back split and use the menu option in Transactions > Delete split (same as the right-click option) Then commit the transaction and it should no longer show as a split transaction. (technically *all* transactions are split, between at least 2 accounts. I think the terminology could use some improvement, but I’m not sure what would be the best wording) You can also choose instead to select the debit card split and choose (either in the right-click menu or the Transactions menu) to ‘Remove other splits’. This will leave you with needing to enter the groceries split again. (or some other account as needed) This is very useful when you have a long list of splits to get rid of. Note, you can’t delete the first instance of a split assigned to the current register as that is what anchors it to that account. (but you can remove any split from the General Journal because it doesn’t have a specific account anchor) In the future, you can also find a previous transaction of the form you want (with or without the cash-back split), right-click (or use the Transactions menu) and choose ‘Duplicate Transaction’. (You have to be on the main transaction line, I believe to see this) This will exactly duplicate that transaction for you on the date you specify in the pop-up. You will then be dropped into the transaction for editing where you can update the amounts as needed.

Re: [GNC] Unsplitting a transaction
I could have sworn there was a simple (and easily defeat-able) locking mechanism based on number of days that had passed, but I can’t seem to find the preference. Perhaps I was imagining things. Regardless, if one wants to use correcting transactions, that is certainly still doable, and there is even a facility to have a reversing transaction entered for you via the Transaction menu.

I think we are mostly talking about removing errors in new transactions before they are initially committed, not removing old errors.

Not a practical "how to do" answer but it might be a good time to mention that "how to correct" in general involves the question "how formal is your process"? In the old days, pen and ink on paper, erroneous transactions were never removed. They were offset (enter the reverse transaction) and then the correct transaction entered.

Re: [GNC] Unsplitting a transaction
I think it’s just a matter of whatever is the optimum workflow for the situation. Some of my auto-fill transaction details include 10 or more splits. It is much easier to keep the anchor split and choose to ‘delete other splits’ than to remove the other 9 one at a time. But If I only want to change one or two, certainly, deleting (or just re-assigning) those is much quicker to complete the entire entry. Regards, Adrien > On Jun 5, 2019, at 2:45 PM, Stephen M.

Re: [GNC] Unsplitting a transaction
It shouldn’t make a difference as long as you’re still deleting all of the split information. If it does behave differently by method (keyboard vs. mouse focus; menu, toolbar, context menu, or delete/backspace) then that I think is a bug. All methods should produce the same result for this case as they are simply different ways to accomplish the same end task.

Re: [GNC] Unsplitting a transaction
I had a bug filed on this lack of warning: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796978, which it looks like Bob had a fix pushed for 3.4. I don’t think I’ve tested it since. I’ll give it a go and see what happens. Ideally, the check for lack of an anchoring split shouldn’t happen till the user commits the transaction. If editing is still going on, the user might still add an anchoring split. But that would be another bug report or an RFE.

Re: [GNC] Unsplitting a transaction
It is not necessary to expand the transaction into split mode at all.. If you normally operate in non-split mode then just right click and select Remove Other Splits.

Click anywhere in the split (line item) that you want to delete, then click the red slash-in-a-circle (Delete) icon in the toolbar. You get a confirming prompt which specifically mentions you're about to delete a split -- a single line item within a transaction. There's absolutely no need to delete any numbers first -- I've just verified this by trying it. (The confirming prompt contains a check box "Remember and don't ask me again." If you don't get the prompt, most likely you ticked that box at some point and forgot about it.) BTW, GnuCash won't let you delete a split that belongs to the account register you're working in.

Re: [GNC] Unsplitting a transaction
David, If you delete the split for the current register, there is nothing binding the transaction to the current register, so of course it will "disappear" from this register.
