I have the following root accounts Banking Cash Equity Expenses Expired Accounts (due to how gnucash shows accounts, I move closed accounts here so they still balance but aren't in my main view) Income Investments Loans More than five, so do I have to reshuffle things in gnucash? As I understand it, this is how it'd look:- Assets <- Banking, Cash, Investments, Expired Accounts Equity <- Equity Expenses <- Expenses Income <- Income Liabilities <- Loans My assumption is that I can't have multiple option "name_assets" ** lines? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
