Chapter 8 - investment accounts

[David T.]

Wm,
As noted in the thread, the "duplicate" entries in the register result from multiple splits in the same account. This is an unfortunate aspect of the interaction between the GnuCash interface and the underlying (split-based) data structure. There is, however, only *one* sales transaction represented.

Since you know it was just an example what is the problem?

I've bought most of the United States in a single transaction and sold 
it on to a Canadian for a few GBP without anyone getting too upset 


before :)
