Description demianx681 2012-07-26 09:13:04 UTC
It's impossible to split the total amount of the interest into taxes+fees+net interest.
The input form in "entering new transactions" is different from the "modifying transaction"one : in the latter new fields appear but without labels making it impossible to understand what they are for.
I also tried to input taxes by means of the split function choosing an appropriate expense category. This wouldn't work either because the amount was added and not deducted.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
This form should work at least as the "buy new shares" one where fees are correctly taken into account.

I don't seem to experience any missing labels when doing this, although I admit there may be an inconsistency in the behaviour.

Are you using the ledger form, or entering directly in the transaction?   Perhaps if you indicate the steps you take and what you see (or don't see) at each step.

Hello Allan,

thank you for the fast reply.

Here are some test screenshots so you can see the program strange 
behavior , they are numbered following the exact sequence.

1) here the only numeric data I can enter is the amount ( I didn't try 
the splitting function because I assume that the label 
"interesse/interest" shows that here expenses are not allowed, the 
contrary would really be misleading...)

2) "enter" button

3) in n° 2 is what I see: a new "commissioni" (fees) field has appeared...

4) in n°3 I enter the editing mode : label Commissioni (fees) has 
disappeared and other fields have shown up but what exactly do they 
refer to? For instance the field just beneath the date and the other 
with the "1,0000" what are they for?

5) in n°4 I enter the taxes by means of the splitting function, 
everything seems ok but when I commit the transaction the amount of 
taxes disappear and the total reverts back to €100.00 (same view as in n°3 )

I hope I have made myself clear enough...

Please let me know if you should need something else

Thank you

Bye

D.

Generally, I work with the development (Git) version, but as you indicate you're on 4.6.2, I installed that, but that too doesn't tally with your screen-shot.  If I choose to edit an existing Dividend item, or open a new one, I get a labelled Fees field.  However, I did make some changes in this area a while ago.

This does not happen in the Git version.

What I did was to edit an existing dividend item.  I open the splits, and enter the dividend amount as, say, 20.00 and enter.  Then, I enter a _Fees item with amount, say, - 2.00. On accepting the edited transaction, the fees field shows the 2.00, the interest shows as 2.00, and the amount as 18.00.  Which is what I was expecting.

Yes, thanks.  Are you able to compile the Git version from source?  If so, that should help you.  If not, a new stable version, 4.6.3, should be released in about a month or so, but that might take a while to get through the distros.

 No activity here for 18 months during which time many changes have been implemented.

Will close soon.
Comment 8 Cristian Oneț 2014-07-31 09:55:38 UTC
This should be fixed in the latest version, closing it as Allan suggested.
