Advanced Portfolio Income 2.6.1

[Alun Champion]

On your dividend transaction you need to add another transaction split
whose account is your stock account.
E.g. if you currently have:
Assets:Brokerage:Cash: 100
Income:Dividend:Stock X: -100

Then you need to add another empty split:
Assets:Brokerage:Cash: 100
Income:Dividend:Stock X: -100
Assets:Brokerage:Stock X

If you are in basic ledger view you will need to "show all splits" or
switch to another view  to be able to add the additional split.
