Split transactions

[Geert Janssens]

Another cause of "disappearing" transactions is entering past 
transactions in the general journal. The general journal by default only 
displays transactions for the last month. So if you enter a transaction 
that's older than this it would disappear.

This should not happen when you enter the transaction straight into your 
checking account's register. This register can be opened by double-
clicking on your checking account in the Account Hierarchy page.

Regards,

Geert
