I've just experimented with the "Close Book" tool, new with 2.2.4.
I chose to close at year-end (2007-12-31), but left the target accounts
as the default "Equity".
All my Income is in GBP, but I have expenditure in EUR and CHF as well. I
was not surprised to find it had created "Equity:CHF" and "Equity:EUR",
but I was surprised to find "Equity:GBP", and even more so to find that
whereas all the GBP Expenditure had been assigned there, all the Income
had gone to plain "Equity" - which is a placeholder.
This may reflect the order in which things are done (i.e. the tool may
have done the income before finding that expenditure needed to be split).
It's not a problem as such - I'm experimenting at this stage, and can
easily create suitable sub-accounts when I do it for real.
Any comments, from anyone who knows how things "should be done"? In
particular, any reason *not* to put the Income to the same equity sub-
account as the (GBP) Expenditure?
