I typically use the Inter Account Transfer tab for transfers, but the other day I made a purchase that included a transfer as part of the purchase.
Entering the payment line by line looks fine. I apply the expenses to their various accounts, and then apply the inter account transfer to the proper account, but instead of completing the transfer properly, the account shows a balance of 0.00 and there is now an equity -50.00 under inter account transfers.
Ideally, this should be resolved once the statement of the account “GC001” is imported and a counterpart to the transfer is identified by Receipt rule.
That’s the workflow for Bank and Cash Accounts that have statements.
For Bank and Cash Accounts that do not have statements like cash, virtual bank accounts or payment processing accounts, a manual counterpart must be created.
I can see how some users can find this annoying, in fact, I too wish there was a way, a Button of some sort that can create these counterpart entries.
