Yeah, I tried that, but in the Employee -> New expenses voucher -> Edit Expense Voucher list, right-clicking on the Description block doesn't bring up any context menu (there isn't a memo block on this page). Of course, trying to do this in the target expense account doesn't work as the transaction is automatically marked read-only. Maybe this is a bug? Chris
Well -- gnucash is just the "general ledger" part of a business system (not an entire business system). So I would not consider failure to associate documents to transactions WITHIN gnucash to be a bug.
Maybe turn this around? It is the association that you really need, whether within or outside of gnucash. One of the problems here is that gnucash is "virtual journal" and it with the journal entry (the entire transaction) I would expect to associate documentation << not with parts of the transaction -- I do understand that you can think of receipts belonging to separate parts but "receipts" just a special case of documentation.
Let's say in the description field you put a "number" (say "receipt file #1234). And you have a file of receipts which to which your assign numbers. In other words, you have a reference "here is where the receipts related to this general ledger may be found.In reverse, the receipt record should include a reference to the transaction (date, etc.)
If this seems odd to you (not having them IN the general ledger) think of pen and oink on paper days. You would expect to be pasting receipts into the ledger book?
This is an AUDITING matter (given a transaction, can you produce the receipts associated with a transaction)
