I would also suggest looking at Lot Lists.
Also try the Customer Report to see what transactions it lists?

[GNC] Split Transaction now lists 2 items?

2018-10-18 Thread Jack Slater
I had been using the transaction split to account for varied spending from
a cash withdrawal.

It would be listed as 1 line item - ATM Draw - Cash - Split - $200
 Opening the split I could define Expense: Dining - $110
Expense: Cleaning -
$90

But now, when I create that same transactions, it lists 2 items in the
ledger - 1 for $100 and the next entry for $90.

What am I doing wrong?

Re: [GNC] Default Invoice Configuration

2018-10-18 Thread Derek Atkins
Sure, but:

1) Users can rename reports, and

2) If you do have multiple instances of a saved report, are you
   suggesting that the system ask the user which specific saved report
   to use as the basis?

Re: [GNC] Default Invoice Configuration

2018-10-18 Thread Lloyd Adams
Yes, but, reports configurations must have unique names. 

   Keep it simple, don’t ask the user questions.

If the user selects Printable Invoice template, and there is a config that 
exactly matches the name, then load it.  If it does not exist, carry on.

Likewise with other reports. If the template is Fancy Invoice, look for a 
config called Fancy Invoice.  If it exists, load it; if it doesn't, carry on 
without it.

Or am I missing a fundamental point?

Lloyd

Two entries for a single transaction means that the transaction has two splits 
in the account.

You might consider using the "Cash in Wallet" account as an intermediate, so an 
ATM withdrawal is Bank Account -> Cash in Wallet and cash spending is Cash in 
Wallet -> Expenses_Account, all simple (i.e. two-split) transactions.

John Ralls
