Detailed deposits (RE: trying Gnucash to replace Quickbooks)

[Paula Hendricks]

this may be too cumbersome for you... but i found i couldn't get enough info by batch depositing, so i just go through a process of individual deposits. that way all is clearly delineated. it's more entries, but it looks like you want to do that anyway...

since i do so much online i have to do that anyway... enter them one at a time.
