Description Roman Zimmermann 2021-03-24 09:23:21 UTC
SUMMARY

For several types of money there is some delay between the payment in one account and the value date of the other. In kmymoney all transfers happen instantly except if you make two bookings.
 
Examples for this are:
- bank transfers
- credit card payments (payment date vs. value date on the credit card account)

These differences make it harder to reconcile accounts because the date has to be wrong on one of the accounts.

My idea to solve this would be to allow splits in a transaction to have different dates. The money in transfer would be represented by a virtual account. All splits of a transaction would then transfer money to/from this virtual account at their set date.

Bugzilla does not allow to set a reference between tickets so I mark it as needsinfo to a duplicte one and also give it a wishlist earmark. There's also some discussion in bug #342989 about the subject (which is already marked as duplicate to the above).

Nevertheless, this request here is based not only on a transfer between two accounts showing different dates but more than two (which may culminate to n different dates, one per split). That's why I leave it open.

Yes, this is somewhat more general than [#135198] as it is not only about transfers between two bank accounts. Also the proposed solution is a bit more general.

It would also enable more use-cases. In its most general way it would turn transactions into “all money transfers due to a specific reason”. It could also be used for stuff like lending money and getting it back later, where we usually would use 2 transactions now.

I’m not sure what’s the proper status for this. NEEDSINFO doesn’t sound right though.
