Thanks Tom and David for your quick replies! I actually found that info some time ago as well, but it seems not to do the trick (for me). In the security's account I have the buy transactions (which are taken into account by the advanced portfolio template) and also the dividend payments in a "neutral" transaction as part of the dividend payment transaction. That means that the dividend transaction has multiple accounts involved (translated, so terms might not be 100% accurate): - "Earnings:Dividends" containing the whole amount I get from the company - "Expenses:Taxes" the amount of taxes that was deducted from the above - "Assets:ClearingAccount" the amount that remained after the deduction of taxes - "Assets:Securities:CompanyXY" just added without any amount
Is there something I am missing to make it work?
