Enter Split Transaction Funded Multiple Accounts

Help

Can I have a quick overview on how to enter this transaction:

                                  DEBIT          CREDIT
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Expenses:Fuel:Tractor              $158.18
Expenses:GST Input Credits          $15.82
Expenses:Fuel:Lawn Mower            $20.00
Assets:Current:NAB Farm                        $144.00
Assets:Petty Cash                              $50.00
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Here’s how I would do it:

  • Open the Petty Cash account in the ledger.
  • Directly open the split transaction editor.
  • Start entering the split from the top of your list except the last one (the first three as payments, the second last as deposit)
  • This leaves a mismatch of 50

I used the same category AA and simply added a memo. You use the correct categories. Replace Transferkonto with your NAB Farm account.

  • Press OK to save the splits which will show a dialog about the mismatch

Select the option to change to total amount of the transaction to -50 and press OK. (that should update the amount, but there seems to be a bug). Enter the 50 into the payment amount of the transaction editor and save the transaction.

Hope that makes sense.
