I think it is true to say that there are five top level account groups in accounting software - asset, liability, equity, income and expense. At the moment in skrooge, it seems that categories are within income or expense, which is OK. However, if you make a transfer between bank accounts, it is shown as income/expense, for example, on the dashboard . That is not the expected behaviour, since it is neither. I would suggest that the account type in the drop down list of account types should reflect the top level group eg credit card is a liability account, bank current is an asset account, loan is a liability account. For non-accounting people it is important that the list (in the edition panel) is understandable so that could remain more or less the same (with perhaps a account creation dialog when "Other" is selected). Behind the scenes however, skrooge should handle them according to where they sit in the table of accounts, even if it is not a double entry system. I hope that makes sense! And have I misunderstood something?
Hi, You have an option accessible with the right click on "Incomes & Expenditures" widget to decide if you want to take account the transfers or not. Reopen this incident if my answer is not accepted.
I have mentioned to Guillaume by email that this does not work as predicted, since not all are ignored. I will investigate further, but my comments are mostly aimed at broadening the appeal of skrooge, by ensuring that the backend is aware of standard accounting practices. Thanks for your swift response and nice work.
