Have you read the Help Guide or Tutorial & Concepts Guide? You can find them both here: http://gnucash.org/docs.phtml Those should explain thoroughly enough how to enter transactions with example screen shots. You may find it helpful to use a different register view than the default if you are regularly dealing with multiple splits in transactions. In the View menu, select Transaction Journal and also Double Line. This will show you all splits at all times, and a ‘note' line for each transaction. You can always toggle either back later if you prefer. If you like a particular set of view options, you can change them to be the default in the preferences dialog. (under Register Defaults tab) If you prefer the formal “debit/credit” labels, that can be set as well in preferences. (‘Use formal accounting labels’ under Accounts tab) Regards, Adrien > On Apr 20, 2018, at 3:59 AM, Peter M. Coons <pe...@coons.com> wrote: > > I know what it is.
