If #1 one, that is quite messy, yes, and you’ll need lots of manual
transactions and some sort of searchable/filterable tag system as I described
previously. (to avoid hundreds or thousands of accounts and sub-accounts)
But if #2, then the business features can handle that easily with invoice line
items posted to Income accounts for each destination and assigning those
invoices to individual customer accounts. No need for the individual member
account(s) in the Income tree at all. GnuCash will track each customer's
pledged (invoiced) amounts as well as payments. The gift portion *might* be a
little trickier, but I think it can be achieved by the expense vouchers
feature. (since they operate as sort of a ‘chargeback’) I’ll have to
investigate.

Hi Michael,
This is how I would do it. I'm assuming you have around 30 people to
account for.
Make up all your accounts and sub accounts and sub sub accounts and
cross accounts.
Have a transaction in each person's account with all the splits possible.
Each dinner copy the last transaction and alter the amounts. Maybe 20
seconds each so you are looking at about 15 minutes to update the whole.
I'm assuming your primary document is some kind of piece of paper your
members fill out. If you have a spreadsheet on entry you would just
massage it and import it.
By the time you much around with business features you might as well
just copy transactions.
Lawrence
Thanks,
Michael
