Yeah, I wasn't thinking of this and I use it frequently. But if you have one split *with a value*, then you'll get an Orphan/Unbalanced split by default if you don't specify the second account. Regards, Adrien On 6/9/22 8:53 AM, Stan Brown wrote: On 2022-06-09 04:59, David Carlson wrote:

Split! Yes, but there is nothing to indicate that in the screen shot. It may be a data entry error as Fred seems to indicate in his new thread after this one did not solve his concern. On Thu, Jun 9, 2022, 10:15 AM john wrote: > No, it's called a stock split. Nothing new about it at all. > >

It's possible to create a single split transaction. The only requirement is that the transaction must be balanced i.e. the total is zero. Therefore, create a zero-amount split and leave the "other account" field blank. If this is not the case, then you'll have found a quantum anomaly in the

Fred, If you go to the Accounts tab in the main window can you see either an Orphan or Imbalance account with a non-zero balance. The transaction creation process and the importer have never allowed you to create a transaction in GnuCash which is unbalanced. I just tested it and tried to force
