Recording an income which includes shares

[David Carlson]

I can address the part about Scheduled transactions with variables.  I just
recently filed a bug report because scheduled transactions that contain
lines involving a security and a currency trigger that warning when the
transaction is set to be entered automatically even when there is no actual
purchase or sale in the transaction.  If the transaction is set to remind
instead of enter automatically, it is accepted by the Since Last Run
assistant, and it will then appear in the Since Last Run list at the
appropriate time with a line requesting the user to enter a price for the
transaction, which may or may not be needed.  The odd thing about that is
that it does not allow the user to adjust any other value in the
transaction until after it is entered and appears in the register.

As for the other part, the tabs got scrambled in my mail viewer and I
cannot tell how you lined up the columns.  However, one line should have
"buy" "description" Account" "shares", "price" and two "total", but only
one (the first) is used.  That can only be seen completely when viewed from
within the security account register.  When viewed from a bank account
register, the  number of shares and price cannot be seen, even though they
are present in the transaction.

Hope that helps.
