Hi Wouter,
Thanks for the answer. However, the booking of credit card against
expenses and payment from checking account to credit card account is
*not* the problem.
What *is* the problem is reconciliation. GNUCash insists on an imbalance
because the creditcard statement is always a week before the
bankstatement (payment) so that in the meantime another payment has been
issued.

As I said, booking is not the problem. What I described is I could not
find in the documentation (I checked).
Guus.
