#3 - You can split the transaction like you usually would. In the split box you'd probably enter $10 for the Grocery bucket, $10 for the Household bucket, and for the other $20 check the box in the leftmost column which indicates Cash Only. That $20 will be accounted for as a transfer to the Cash account.
