Folks, Most transactions deal with the main checking account with incoming and outgoing payments. They usually concern the checking account, tax account and the account to debit/credit.
Therefore, I propose a "speedentry" mechanism. From the user perspective, you would only need to enter the change in balance on the checking account, (for example 432.50 or -32.90) and what account to debit/credit. Gnucash would then automatically use the correct credit/debit side based on the +/- sign, and calculate the percent taxes. Gnucash would then create a transaction according to the following algorithm: If amount is positive: . this is an incoming payment, so debit the checking account . credit the outgoing tax account (by a configurable percent) . credit the user-specified account If amount is negative: . there is a debt payed, so credit the checking account . debit the incoming tax account (by a configurable percent) . debit the user-specified account "date" and "num" should also be automatically entered. The transaction should then be presented in entierity for approval by the user. I think this could be a very useful addition, and speed up bookkeeping as most transactions (atleast mine :) ) are standard in/out payments with a 25% tax and an account to debit on. I dont know enough programming to implement this myself, but maybe someone on the list would be interested? Or maybe there already is some similar function?
