I'm manually entering a dividend reinvestment in the ledger of an investment transaction. I am entering the broker fee (in the fees line), transaction shares and dollar amount of the shares. I press enter and the broker fee disappears.
I have the exact same problem. I'm using version 4.6.6.
Is this problem still present in 5.x? In a dividend reinvestment transaction, I don't even see a fees line, and the interest line does not seem to allow a split entry. (Do we need a wishlist to add a fees line?)
Created attachment 114691 [details] transaction showing fees with reinvestment
Yes, the problem still exists. I tried to enter a transaction using 5.0.80 as a reinvestment with fees and still can't. The program allowed it with a previous version of KMM as can be seen in the screenshot.
I'd like to see a screen shot of where you try to enter the fees. When I enter a reinvestment, I don't even see anywhere to enter a fee.
The fee line is available in the register if you perform Buy, Sell, Dividend transactions. The screenshot that I attached shows I was able to add fees for a reinvestment dividend previously. If I try to enter a transaction as a reinvestment dividend by changing the pulldown to Reinvest Dividend the fee line disappears. What I tried to do in my description dated 2-19-2018 was I entered the information with it as a dividend and then changed it to a reinvest dividend and the fee line disappears. Somehow it worked for me previously and now it doesn't. It's very common for reinvested dividend to have fees associated with these type of transactions
I found the culprit. See bug 351078.
