how to handle different expenses in a single transaction

[David T.]

Yes you can. The split transaction is precisely the way you accomplish this.

Your example would read as follows:

Liabilities:Credit Card     150
Expenses:Computer                50
Expenses:Groceries               50
Expenses:Clothing                50
