Different transaction numbers for split

[Aryeh Leib Taurog]

Hi all,

What do you use the 'Num' field in each ledger entry for?  It seems to 
me that each transaction can only have one number, which limits the 
use of such a field.

In my case I have found that when looking at transaction on my bank 
account it's useful to populate this field with the number the bank 
assigns each transaction.  On the other hand, when looking at 
transactions on the income account for my wife's business, it's useful 
to fill in the number of the receipt she issued.

The problem is now I have a payment she received by check, so the 
transaction is split between the income account and the bank account. 
  When I modify the 'num' field in the register for the bank account, 
it changes in the income account as well.

I would think this 'num' field would be much more useful if I could 
assign a different 'num' to each split.
