John, I have just discovered that the detail transactions show up in subaccounts to the asset, which is OK. And the balance of the asset reflects those subaccounts. Also OK. But, they don’t show up in the asset ledger itself. So maybe my problem is asking too much of the ledger. Perhaps there is a report that will give me a statement of all transactions against the asset (income and expense)?

I just created a vendor bill with assets:house as the “expense account” and posted it; it was added to the house account as expected. What did you do differently?
