Is that possible? Yes. if a transaction isn't a AP purchase, why would you shoe-horn it into AP? EG. you buy something with cash. the transaction is Assets:CashOnHand -> Expenses:Whatever, which you can record perfectly easily in GC. > One > example, I made a payment to my landlord and part of it was a deposit which > I would like to go into an asset account and the other part is rent which > would go into an expense account. How do I do that with this software? You'd need a "split transaction", so £100 from Assets:Bank can be split to any other number of accounts - eg £30 to assets:landordDeposit, and £20 to Sales:tax and £50 to expenses:rent > Another example, I received cash into the account that I would like to tie > into an equity account to show owners startup capital. How do I easily get > the money over there? Thank you for your help Assets:Bank <- Equity:OwnerCapital:CalebWalker would be one way. I suggest you give an hour or two to the tutorial & concepts guide at some point which will cover these questions in more depth. See http://gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?doc=guide Good luck with your new venture.
