Hi,
Maybe I don't understand sub-accounts, or maybe what I'm trying to do
is not possible, or maybe I'm missing the one bit of info that would
make it possible...
I've set up some accounts, the relevant ones for this transaction:
Assets (of type Assets)
Cash On Hand (of type Cash)
Cash (of type Cash)
Expenses (of type Expense)
Auto (of type Expense)
Repairs (of type Expense)
Labor (of type Expense)
Parts (of type Expense)
Taxes (of type Expense)
Sales (of type Expense)
Environmental (of type Expense)
Then I added $1000.00 to the Assets->Cash On Hand->Cash account. So far
so good. Then I started on the main transaction: Expenses->Auto->Repairs.
This transaction has to be the beginning point since that amount is the
one that's to be taken out of the cash account. Also, logically, this
is the top-level/full transaction of which the other sub-transactions are
a part of. So I double-click on Expenses->Auto->Repairs and the register
comes up. Select multi-line style. Enter the description and then enter
the Labor, Parts, Sales tax, Environmental tax and close the register window.
Total for the whole repair is $368.86
And then things start appearing not correctly, even before I deal with the
cash account.
Taxes->Sales shows the correct amount. ($20.88)
Taxes->Environmental shows the correct amount. ($3.95)
Expenses->Repairs->Labor shows the correct amount. ($288.00)
Expenses->Repairs->Parts shows the correct amount. ($56.03)
Expenses->Taxes shows the correct amount ($24.83)
but (in the main window)
Expenses->Auto->Repairs now shows $24.83 and
Expenses-Auto shows $24.83 in red.
Obviously the intended result is:
Expenses->Auto = $368.86 and
Expenses->Auto->Repairs = $368.86 (in the abscense of other auto expenses and
repairs, which are now $0.0)
In the Expenses->Auto->Repairs register the balance is $368.86.
I suspect I'm confused as to what is a debit or a credit on what type of
account, even though it appears that the balances (main window vs. Repairs
register) don't add up.
Is this a bonified bug? or am I doing something wrong?
BTW this is with a freshly downloaded CVS version as of 1/24/00.
Thanks for any hints.
A.
