Thanks David,
I tried aggregating the two amounts on the asset side and, as you
suggest, it resulted in a single entry in the asset register. However,
the duplicate entries in the Income register remain.
As this is an artefact (bug?) of GnuCash I decided that the only thing
to do is to use separate transactions for the base and bonus interest
payments. This still results in two transactions per month, but at
least the numbers themselves are not duplicated, and I can give the two
transactions different labels for identification.
Thanks again for your feedback.

Normanj,
What you are seeing is a normal artifact of GnuCash that appears when
there is more than one split line for the account in which you are
viewing the transaction. If you 'jump' to another account in the
transaction, you will see as many transactions as there are split
lines for that account. Usually you will only enter a single net
amount on the asset side for the sum of the incomes, then there would
only be one transaction in the asset register view.

I've been using Gnucash for a few years, but I'm far from being an
expert
user.
One of my accounts is for a savings account which pays a monthly
interest
and, subject to some conditions, a "bonus" interest payment. The
bank used
to report these as a single monthly payment so entering these into
Gnucash
was a straightforward transaction - a assets account for the
balance and an
income account for the interest.
The bank has started reporting the base and bonus interest payments
separately, and my first thought was to use a split transaction - two
payments for the interest and two corresponding entries into the asset
account. However, when I save the transaction it is shown as two
split
transactions, each showing the same 4 numbers for both the regular and
"bonus" interest, though the asset account balance is correct.
Any change I
make to one transaction, including deletion, is immediately
reflected in the
other transaction.
To my inexpert eye this seems quite odd. The only way I can see
to fix this
is to delete the impacted transactions and re-enter the "ordinary" and
"bonus" payments separately, though as they are directly linked
there is an
obvious benefit in having everything in one transaction.
Can anyone kindly advise if this is normal behaviour and is there
a better
way to do this? If it makes a difference I use a mac and upgraded to
Gnucash 3.6 earlier in year (as it happens, about the same time
the bank
chnged its reporting format)
Thank you. Despite this hiccup, I've found Gnucash to be an
excellent tool.
