Since all journal entries have at least one split and there is the other half of the transaction (ignoring the memos), when I'm helping someone with a "multi-split" import, I suggest that the "multi-split" allows for unlimited debits and/or unlimited credits for a single journal entry, but multiple debits and/or multiple credits is not required, so any "multi-split" journal entry can be a simple journal entry. I import more simple journal entries using "multi-split" CSV than compound journal entries. I've considered working on the CSV documentation, which I'm thinking is more important than the difference between "multi-split" or "multi-line" or some other terminology, but I do appreciate that translations are important too. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
