Templates don't create accounts, they create categories. The terminology can easily be confusing, because internally, categories are a special type of account. I don't believe there are any cases where initial setup creates any accounts for you, other than the setup wizard asking if you want to set up an initial checking account.

Yes, thank you for the answer. The terminology is confusing. I just thought that this is something similar to GnuCash. I think, we can close the bug now :) If you can provide any specific suggestions for improving the documentation, I'll be happy to work with it. In fact, the template "Base - detail" in en_US only contains categories. Using e.g. "Full chart" in en_GB will also create asset accounts. What is created depends on the contents of the template. You can also select multiple templates at once. So much for clarification. |
