… To represent an actual Return of Capital you'd do something like $400 DR Assets:Current Assets:Bank1 $400 CR Assets:Investments:Brokerage1:Stock1 Memo: Return of Capital $400 CR Assets:Investments:Brokerage1:Stock1 Memo: Reduction in basis 0 shares, 0 price $400 DR Income:Deferred Income:Reduction in basis of investments Hi John, I tried your suggested Return of Capital but unfortunately the TB now shows (after just the buy and RoC): $900 DR Assets:Current Assets:Bank1 $500 DR Assets:Investments:Brokerage1:Stock1 $1000 CR Equity:Opening Balances $400 DR Income:Deferred Income:Reduction in basis DR Total $1,800 CR Total $1,000 There is no Unrealized Gains/Losses line (as expected). There doesn’t seem to be a way to record a RoC and still have a correct Advanced Portfolio Report (APR) & TB. It still seems to me that, as the (APR) correctly deala with the RoC as I first detailed, so should the Trial Balance. Shall I raise a bug/enhancement? Maybe some Scheme/C guru will want to scratch their itch. I’ll have more of a look when I get time, but so far, I just get confused when trying to follow the code - I think I’ll need to run the engine code in a debugger to really see what it’s doing.
