Was the problem that he entered variant dates, or that GnuCash reinterpreted his Perth transactions to a new date? My point is this: if he entered transactions in Perth for the 11th, and then returned to California, and they showed the 10th, wouldn't his problem have been solved if GnuCash had

The intent of my post was to report you can't reassign transactions between Asset and Expenses accounts either using the process previously described. Yes, the account in Asset was created by the import wizard. It's nothing serious, went back to the previous file and imported again. On Sat, May

First off, flight time between California and Australia is something like 17 hours (to Hawaii, it's about 11), so if, after all that, you have energy to do your accounting in GnuCash, well, you're more of a masochist than I. Second, if I were to land on the 10th in California, I personally

IIUC the SIPP is simply a wrapper around stock-type and cash-type investments, so, you'd handle it exactly the same as any Broker and Broker investments. See https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/invest-setup1.html - the SIPP wrapper would be the "Brokerage Accounts" asset. You may
