Description Thomas Baumgart 2010-01-18 20:31:22 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

Today, a loan transaction is a split transaction that contains both the principal and the interest split. Make this two separate transactions which would allow e.g. loans with a monthly interest payment and a three month principal payment.

Here's another use case that requires this feature:

"Up until recently I kept track of my loans as liability accounts.  
Today I moved all that I could to loan accounts.  The problem is that 
one mortgage account gets used like a regular bank account, with my 
salary getting paid directly into it.  So the account from which these 
loan payments (interest charges) are taken is actually the same loan 
account  (the debt just increases by the interest charged).  However the 
loan account wizard does not allow this as an option.
    So, the request is, for the loan account wizard to allow you to 
select the account you are actually editing or creating as the account 
from which interest payments are deducted.  Perhaps as a check-box to 
select something like "Payments are added to the debt of the loan 
account (rather than paid from another account)" next to the field where 
you can select the account."
