Description allan 2010-09-09 12:37:41 UTC

Version:           SVN trunk (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

I've done this before several times, but cannot now delete an investment account or security.  I tried deleting all its prices, but that didn't help, and in fact, I only want to close the account, not delete it, so don't want to lose history.

I've tried in Account view, and in Investments view, but the option is not available/active.

There are no schedules and I've deleted the account from stored reports.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
In Investments view, select the security.  Close account is disabled.
In Ledger view, select the account.  Close account is disabled.

Actual Results:  
Can't close.

Expected Results:  
Close the security/investment

Version 4.5.0-svn1172436

Make sure the balance is really zero

The balance shows as 0.00 and the investment value as ~£0.00.

Ahaaa...  In the security wizard, I changed the fraction from 1/100 to 1/1000, and now the balance shows as -0.001!  I need to unsell 0.001 items.

Thanks

PS

I needed to close three investments, and two of them had this type of issue.  Might there be a way to indicate that when a balance shows as 0.00, it is not really zero?  It would save head-scratching, bugs, and unnecessary twiddling.

PPS

I now want to close the relevant securities, but this doesn't seem to be possible, without destroying pricing history.  Can they be closed rather than deleted?

Securities cannot be closed. Think of them as currencies. Therefore, you can only delete them if you remove the corresponding price history.
