Re: [GNC] Deleting split, specifying one expense account [FIXED]
Strange, I do this often, and just did it today, though I admit I don't use the 'delete split' option from the context-menu, I just tab-delete my way through till I get to a split I want to keep.

I have seen the same thing on rare occasions, and like you I never tracked down why. But that's my reason for suggesting to Rich that he use the General Ledger in such cases. As far as I know, nothing is ever anchored _there_.

On occasions Gnucash refuses to delete a split which is not the anchoring split to the register. I see it about twice a year, I have never chased down the cause, and find it easiest to Jump to another register and remove the split I don't want from there. I suspect a bug underlying the problem but am not bothered enough to collect the data.

You need to have at least one 'anchoring' split to that register. If you have more than one split for that account, it will make you keep the first one, but you can delete the others.

Re: [GNC] Deleting split, specifying one expense account
Stan, If you are entering the "cash Groceries transaction" in the cash account, that is why it won't let you delete the cash account. You can't delete a split from within the same account, you can delete splits for other account just not the one you are in currently. You can, however change the amount to zero, but that leaves a transaction with no value in cash. The first time you said you used a checking account. If you enter the transaction from the "Groceries" account, it will let you delete the cash split.

I don't know the answer to that question, but I can tell you the workaround that I use in similar situations. Instead of deleting the split in the Groceries account register, do it in the General Ledger. In my GC menu it's the item Tools » General Ledger, but possibly it's a different menu item in your version. Don't use a Reports menu item; that won't let you edit any transactions.

[GNC] Deleting split, specifying one expense account
This used to work for me, but not today. The last transaction in the checking account for groceries was entered as a split because I took cash back (which displays in the cash register). Now I have a cash groceries transaction, but gnucash won't let me delete the split and enter only the credit for the groceries account. What am I doing incorrectly?
