I am going to ask again. On July 18th at 14:30 EST the bookkeeper enters a transaction involving accounts whose "time zones" are all also EST (in other words there will be NO time zone issue here) with a transaction date of July 15th. I'll repeat to make that very clear. The date of the transaction is July 15th. As is NORMAL the transaction is not entered in the books "real time" but entered at some later point in time when the bookkeeper gets around to it. OK -- the question is -- what TIME is associated with that transaction in GnuCash? Why? In other words, since the bookkeeper never entered any "effecitve time" for the transaction (just a date) then where does that time come from? What is its meaning? That's why I would consider the time assigned to be "random" or "meaningless" (say the system assigned a constant time of day value --- zero bits of information). Yes of course, I would consider the time of day at which the bookkeeper happened to get around to it (if that is what gets used) a "random" time. Remember, just because the bookkeeper posts transaction A (effective July 15th) before posting transaction B (effective July 15th) doesn't mean "transaction A took place before transaction B.
