Ability to convert two transactions to a Inter Account Transfer

[Patch]

@emmegi

doing it manually is error prone. You have to create the transfer but also you need to delete the imported transactions.

Two solutions have been proposed
Options 1

@lubos

if you are importing bank statements, then it’s better to have equity account called Inter-account transfers and bank rule which will automatically allocate transfers to this account. Transactions in this account should contra themselves so the balance should always come to zero.

This is why I made Inter-account Transfers a separate tab. It should be used only if you want to record transfers between bank and cash accounts manually.

Options 2

@lubos

I was thinking about this what would be the best way to faciliate this. And I think the solution is to have built-in account called Inter-account transfers. This is account where you’d post transactions which could be paired up. Then once viewing transactions within this account, you could do the pairing process.

I like option 2 better but would like most to use an approach which is compatible going forwards.
I suppose

• Maintaining future compatibility can be done by continuing to manually creating inter account transfers and manually deleting the corresponding imported transactions until the built in Inter-account transfers account is available

• but if option 2 will never be available, living with option 1 (a user created Inter-account transfers account and disabling the Inter-account transfers tab) is probably more efficient.
