"Advanced Portfolio" realized gain/loss

[FireFly]

I just have the dividend come from Income > Asset:401k:Cash and then reinvest from there (so buy whatever the stock/mutual fund is from Asset:401k:Cash > Asset:401k:Random Mutual Fund)

That seems to have been working for me, but then again I'm not an accountant.

Based on this, I'm not sure how I would account for reinvested dividend
income and have it get reported correctly.
