Just wanted to do a quick reply that after spending many hours last night, I basically followed what you laid out and have it working perfectly for my needs, although I'm sure "pure accountants" will take exception. It lets me keep track of my various MRA accounts, and see the current balance in each which is important to me; it also lets me keep track of total MRA deposits received and MRA payments made, and makes sure that any MRA paid amounts are credited on the various health related expense accounts. Below is what I did, which pretty much follows your suggestions. Thanks again for your time and patience (and everyone else as well) in helping me out on this one... --------------------- I set up the following accounts: ASSET:MRA_abc ASSET:MRA_def ASSET:MRA_ghi Multiple accounts, one for each company that has funded a medical reimbursement account for me, allows me to keep track of the current available balance in each separate account EXPENSE:Health:*MRA_Payments Keeps track of total MRA payments from all MRA accounts for claims submitted/processed EXPENSE:Health:Insurance Just one of my standard health expense accounts INCOME:*MRA_Deposits Keeps track of total MRA deposits made by the various companies in the various MRA accounts ------------------ So assume abc company notifies me they have deposited $1000 in my MRA_abc account on 5/1/18. Assume thereafter on 5/5/18 I pay $100 health insurance premium from my checking, on 5/10/18 I file a claim for reimbursement from the MRA_abc account for the $100 premium payment, and on 5/15/18 I receive a direct deposit in my checking account for the claim. 1-May: Income:*MRA_Deposits -$1000 Asset:MRA_abc +$1000 Balances: MRA_abc $1,000, *MRA_Deposits $1000 5-May Asset:Checking -$100 Expense:Health:Insurance +$100 Balances: Checking account balance, Expense:Health:Insurance $100 10-May: submit claim Asset:MRA_abc -$100 Expense:Health:*MRA_Payments +$100 Balances: MRA_abc $900, Expense:Health:*MRA_Payments $100 15-May: receive reimbursement Expense:Health:Insurance -$100 Asset:Checking +$100 Balances: Checking account balance, Expense:Health:Insurance $0, MRA_abc balance $900 -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
