Well, now that you have it mostly right, maybe go in to the second account register and see whether you can change the second split price to zero from there, using the same tabbing technique.  On Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 12:23, Jon Leech wrote: On Wed, Jan 02, 2019 at 05:38:13PM +0530, D

Jon, I believe that, as discussed earlier by Christopher Lam and David T, GnuCash may not prevent you from creating a transaction containing only two lines, one removing shares from one brokerage account and one another adding shares to a different brokerage account, and it may even be possible

Jon, I can't test this right now, since I'm not at my machine... Try this: Open your source account. Move to the entry point in the register. Click the 'Split' button. Enter your description. Tab to the Shares field in the first split and type -13. Tab to the price field and type 0.

There may not be any internal technical restrictions preventing you from directly decreasing the share count of a share account, and increasing in another. However this is pretty much uncharted territory when it comes to reports and reporting assumptions. Typically I'd expect someone who tries

What part of creating a transaction that moves shares from the old account to the new account does not work? It would seem to me that: Old account decrease 100 sharesNew account add shares Would work just fine.  David T. On Tue, Jan 1, 2019 at 14:34, Jon Leech wrote: David Cousens

Now David Cousens, you are confusing me. If you are referring to re-writing the original purchase transaction to correct an error, and the cash that is also transferred in that transaction is also corrected to the new brokerage account, then I agree with you. If, however, this is a new

Jon,  David C. makes one suggestion. I would ask whether the destination account is also denominated in the selected stock. If not, then gnucash will convert between different commodities (e.g., between shares of stock and USD). David T. On Tue, Jan 1, 2019 at 7:46, Jon Leech wrote:

Are there any written or video tutorials for moving shares between stock accounts? There's very little about this in the manual or the list archives, and my attempts end up subtracting shares from one account and adding what appears to be USD to the other account. Jon
