Assuming you're transferring shares from one brokerage account to
another, I found it best to enter the shares and their original
purchase dates in the destination stock account and the cash used for
the purchase comes from Equity: Opening Balances. This way maintains
the lot purchase dates and doesn't seem to conflict with the brokerage
account opening date.
You could also enter a negative number of shares and the base price in
one stock account and the same (but positive) number of shares and
base price in the destination account.
You won't have much luck trying to credit the stock account directly
from Equity:Opening Balances, because the currencies are different,
"shares" vs. "dollars".
Wow! Didn't expect a reply that fast!
No, I wasn't transferring, just trying to enter a date in the past when
i bought the shares. I take your point about the conflict with opening
dates -will play around with that.
[Crediting the stock account seems to be what is described in 9.5.1 of
the guide; it is the value of the shares that is credited ]
Thanks for the reply
