Hi Tony, you can have assets:advancetransfer (call it what you like!) and expenses:staff as already existing instead of transfer from Bank:Cash -> Expenses:Staff (the normal transaction for salary) you do Bank -> assets:AdvanceTransfer (ie before you go away) then as required while you are away Asset:advanceTransfer -> Expenses:StaffSalary or Asset:AdvanceTransfer -> Expenses:PoolChems when you are back, if there is anything left in AdvanceTransfer, you can bring it back to the bank account, or if it is negative, put more into it. I don't see your point about touching 2 asset accounts at the same time.
