I routinely have transactions with multiple splits going to the same account. I only see the one transaction with multiple splits. Therefore, I think it must be an artifact of the type of register view you have. I am using the expanded view that shows all splits in the transaction. I suspect you are using a view that shows only the splits that apply to the account you are viewing. > > To my inexpert eye this seems quite odd.
