I think at last I see what you all are saying.
When I have not displayed account totals, the only account shown on a debit
or credit line is the *counterpart* of the current leg of the transaction;
so the line in the last of my four attachments that says "Checking Account"
and lists $100 as a Credit is actually showing that "Other income" received
a credit and received it from the Checking Account. The problem is that the
partner in the account is not named in the display.
I find this very confusing, but I do understand it now. I think it would
have helped if, without turning on Account totals, the label of each leg of
the transaction could have maintained the name of the parent account for
each line.
For instance, instead of just :
*Date Num Description Memo/Notes Transfer from/to Debit
(USD) Credit*
08/16/2022 sale Checking Account
$100.00
I wish it had said:
*Date Num Description Memo/Notes Transfer from/to Debit (USD)
Credit*
Other Income:
08/16/2022 sale Checking Account
$100.00
Still, what I would really like to see is something compact that shows, for
each transaction, in date order, the date and description of the
transaction and then a single line for each leg, the amount involved and
whether it is a debit or a credit. For instance:
08/16/2022 sale
*Account Debit Credit*
Checking Account: $100
Other Income: $100
It's the compactness and clarity of the representation, not the exact
format, that I'm concerned with.
Thanks for all your help. I'll play with the options to see how close I can
get.
