Would pretty much suggest the same, but consider having just the one intermediate account, named say, In Transit outside of the two - source and destination - accounts. I'd also suggest that there is no need to wait until the monies arrive in the destination account to post that part of the transaction. You can always change the date once it's arrived. Perhaps create the "In Transit" to "Slow" transaction with the day after the "Fast" to "In Transit" date, so that it appears below the "today line" in the Register. For those of you old enough to have sent "cheques in the post", this will seem like teaching granny to suck eggs! _______________________________________________ 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.
