Hello, I've set up GnuCash to work with two different banks and their respective online systems. However, I can't get transfers between two accounts (at different banks) to match. The problem is that both their description and date do not match. Bank A transfers amount X at date D with a description of T1. Bank B receives amount X at date D+2 with a description of T2.
I would normally just delete one of the transactions in a ledger and keep the matching one, but, I want to keep the original description and date. This is in case I get some tax audits later - but also for my sanity. If the transaction date changes then the GnuCash ledger will not match the paper trail (e.g. "Balance" will be different). I could create a third virtual account which will receive payment from bank A at date D and transfer the same amount to bank B at date D+2. Right now the best option seems to leave everything against "Imbalance" and make a mental note to check the description. However, I regularly go over the imbalanced entries and move them to the right category, this will make my job a little harder. It will also "hide" the traceability of funds when doing reports. Any suggestion is appreciated. -- 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.
