Kevin,
Split is a misnomer for the two or more entries to two or more accounts
which constitute a transaction. It derives from the name given to the
internal data structure used in the GnuCash coding to represent each
entry of a transaction. The other aspect of a transaction is that the

Welcome to GnuCash, Kevin!
In addition to Mark's helpful answer, I direct your attention to the
documentation. In particular, have another look at the /GnuCash Tutorial

Section 2.9.3 *Simple vs. Split Transactions*
Hi Kevin,
(not an expert)
When you open the 'checking' register, and put in a transaction, you
assign that transaction to another account.
Example:
1. open 'checking'
2. enter an item
3. set the "Transfer" column to the proper account
a. electricity
b. phone
c. school taxes

Hi,
In 2022, I'll be emigrating from The Netherlands to Sweden. Before, I
used to do my private accounts purely in euro's, but now in 2022 I need
to do multi-currency book-keeping. The main currency will be Swedish
Kroner (SEK), but I will also have accounts and payments in Euro's (EUR).

I find it easiest to adjust the preferences (Edit:Preferences:Register
Defaults:Default Style) so that Register Style is my default. That

This is covered in great detail in the documentation.
Tl;Dr.. Open your checking account. Input date, description, one of the

splitting the amounts to all the expense accounts. Do not hit enter/return

Now you will see all split detail for all transactions. And you'll

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

to edit it or just remove the split on the next entry for this payee.
