Hello everyone,
can someone explain the meaning and consequences of the different
actions that can be selected for each transaction split?
What do they mean?
Are they used for anything? For reports or something else?
Kind regards
Marco
Unclear what you are asking about. What "different actions"?
In a case like this can be useful to consider the JOURNAL ENTRY as it
would have been done in the days of pen and ink on paper. After all,
when you enter a "split transaction" in gnucash you are in Journal Entry
mode. With large space meaning new line.
Date check number<optional> posted<not used gnucash since always
immediately posted to ledger> debit account1 amountd1
debit account2 amountd2 .................... debit accountn amountdn
< indented> credit account1 amountc1
................................. credit accountcm amountcm
<double indented> description of transaction
When posted to the ledger, the line for each account will appear in the
ledger for the corresponding account, same description (there only was
one for the entire transaction) and when on paper that line would have
a Journal page number << not used by gnucash, the journal is virtual
and unpaged: in pen and paper days, this Journal page number told you
where to go to see the rest of the transaction>>
NOW ---- what element of THIS description of a split transaction are you
referring to? (when you day "different action") For example, the
action to close/enter/complete the transaction is the action "post to
ledger". But I can't think of an action affecting just ONE of the lines.
