It clears all the other splits, and assuming you just want to enter a single split it's easy enough to re-enter it. For example, if I usually go to BigBoxStore for groceries, but just that one time I bought groceries AND an air conditioner and flowers, the next time I enter a BigBoxStore grocery transaction and it auto-completes the previous transaction, I can use Remove Other Splits, then type Expenses:Groceries in the Transfer field. > John Ralls' suggestion works best for me: type a little extra text so > that GC no longer recognizes the description, and that prevents the > unwanted splits from being created. > I find that trick useful when I have two or three different things I usually associate with a particular Description (payee), HOWEVER the next time I have to remember the mnemonic I used the last time. I might also try to anticipate what I might search for -- if I make the Description very different, for example, I might have trouble searching for BigBoxStore transactions if I got too clever about wording them. But whatever works; it's easy enough to go back and fix a few transactions when they don't perform as you hoped. > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] 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.
