Re: [GNC] Assigning payment inside a split

This may be a terminology issue, or a misunderstanding on my part, but if you have say, more than one split from Checking and you want to apply one of them as a payment, GnuCash will do so, but it will ask you which one you want to assign. The other side of this coin is that you can't pay

David, He means after you click OK on the initial Reconcile popup there is a further popup on which the first icon is "Add a new balancing entry to the account" - this is active only if your Ending Balance is not equal to the Reconciled Balance. if you click this icon it adds a txn for the

Back when I paid it, I just made a payment out of my bank checking account straight to the CC company. Now, how do I assign that transaction? It’s not a CC expense but it is an expense of some kind—just from a different place. My CC statement will go into my Liability Account, right? So does

Finbar, Not sure what you mean by new balance entry. The reconcile dialogue comes up requesting the following: Statement date - enter the closing date on the statement from the bank. It will supply a closing date based on the statement date at which the last reconciliation was doneand usually

Re: [GNC] I need basic help

In the credit card account, you reference the bank account in the transfer column and debit the credit card by the amount of the payment. That debits the credit card and credits the bank account. If you are in the bank account, you credit the bank balance and reference the cc in the transfer

Okay. Figured out how to add a new expense account. I’m on a MacBook and am figuring that out as well.  I’ve been entering credit card transactions from my newly downloaded CC statement. Expenses are being assigned to various expense accounts. I’m now at a credit card payment line. Back when I

How do I add a new Expense Account? I’d like to assign transactions in my CC (liability) account to a few additional expense accounts. GnuCash said I could “add more later” but I cannot seem to do it right. Do I have to assign that account to some different top-level account? Sent from Yahoo

I believe it's not possible to assign specific splits to as a payment to a bill. You can only assign complete transactions and from that point on GnuCash will manage the Accounts Payable part of that transaction. That does effectively mean that if your payment transaction has more than one
