re this subject: At long last a step by step (blow by blow) line by line
example of a credit card split transaction that I could follow. A great service
to humankind!
[1] Here's the blow-by-blow of how I'd to it:
a) Select the credit-card account and open it
b) On the bottom line, set the date, if necessary, and enter
``Sears'' in the Description field.
c) Hit TAB, which opens new line with a Memo field, and the Account
already filled in with the credit-card account.
d) If you please, enter something for the Memo.
e) Tab to the Increase column and type in 190.
f) Tab to get a new line, which has the Decrease column filled in
with 190.
g) Tab to the Memo, enter ``Power saw''
h) Tab to Account, enter or select Expenses:House:Maintenance
i) Tab to Decrease, enter 150.
j) Tab to get another line, which will have 40 in the Decrease
k) Fill in the Memo with ``Sheets''; fill in Account with
Expenses:Household; fill in Decrease with 30.
l) Tab to get another line, which will have 10 in the Decrease
m) I wouldn't put in a memo, because the account explains it all.
n) Select Expenses:Tax:Sales tax for the account
o) The Decrease is already the right value, so...
p) Tab to get a new line. It has no value entry, which tells you
that your transaction balances and you're finished with this transactions.
q) Type ENTER to finish. All the lines collapse into one line with
a Description of ``Sears'', and a Tot Increase of 190. In the future
you can select this line and it will show all the details. (If it
doesn't expand automatically, click on the Split button in the toolbar,
or the menu entry Actions > Split Transaction.)
If this doesn't work for you, post the details and we'll try to
figure out what's going on.
