I'm having trouble figuring out how to enter the following scenario.
Bank has charged a fee to my Loan account on 1-Nov-2006, and the money
is taken from my Savings account on 2-Nov-2006.
Inputing transactions between accounts is not a problem I can do that.
For the different dates I have an intermediate Transfer account. Money
leaves one account on one day and goes to the transfer account, then on
the day it is received in the destination account, I enter another
transaction from the Transfer account to the destination account.
My problem is how can I record this so my expense account for bank fees
is incremented ???
i.e. if the fee was for $10 and the $10 was transferred between my
savings account to my loan account, then I should be able to input that
transfer and have my savings account debited $10, my loan account
credited $10 and my Expense:Fees account increased by $10.
I don't see how 3 amounts can be entered into a double entry accounting
system :-/ There must be some way to do this but my brain hurts and
can't figure it out :(
Any suggestions ???
Thanks, Brendan.
