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."
