Hi, I've looked for this in the archives but nothing pops up. I have years of
experience with GnuCash cannot seem to resolve this.
Simplified, we have a regular bank account which is used to reimburse
construction worker's out-of-pocket purchases. They provide a store receipt,
which gets a NUMber, and an e-transfer is made to their bank account. Then we
create a weekly transaction list, showing the all the expenses. It (of course)
needs to show the receipt number.
This works fine for individual payments (each expense is listed with the Num
correctly shown). But if we repay the worker for two items, we enter it as a
split: a credit to the bank, and two debits, one for each receipt (e.g. #27
Nails $5, #28 Paint $10).
The problem is that the transaction report always shows the Num from the main
entry in the bank ledger, not the individual Nums for the split lines. It does
this even though the transaction report is selecting from the Expense ledgers,
not the bank.
==== Entry into Bank shows as follows in Autosplit mode ====
Jan 1 #xxx John Smith <acct is blank> C $15
#27 ABC Hardware Nails D $5
#28 DEF Paints Paint D
$10
(bank tracking code) Bank Account C $15
==== But the transaction report for expenses shows ====
Jan 1 #xxx ABC Hardware Nails $5
Jan 1 #xxx DEF Paints Paint $10
Note the Num shown is from the top line of the entry, but the description is
from each split line. We need the Num from the split line to be shown.
Is this a bug, or is it designed to work this way? And if so, why, and is there
a work-around?
Thanks for any advice, info, pointers, etc
Paul Kroitor
