This is a bit complicated, of course! I have a main checking account with a number of subaccounts. So far so good as it is a concept that is working well. After a couple of months of this I can see some things becoming unwieldy, particularly when reconciling as I have numerous "transfer" transactions that will never be reconciled. In a nutshell, what I have is this.
Deposit entry, all or part of which should be assigned to a designated subaccount. This, of course shows as coming from an Income account and then into the checking account. Transfer entry, whatever amount needs to be assigned to the subaccount is deducted from the main checking account and applied to the subaccount. The transfer entries would be nice to hide or eliminate. I tried combining one into a deposit entry and that created a second deposit entry that mirrored the original but with differing amounts. I scratched that idea rather quickly! If there is no other clean way to do this, I wish I could at least avoid having the Transfer transactions prior to the current reconciliation time frame showing in the reconciliation dialog. I can see that by the end of the year or a few years down the road that this is going to be a huge mess! TIA - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
