[GNC] Removing Orphan components from transaction

[David Cousens]

Peter

If you open the Asset register in auto split register ( View->Autosplit
register), select the transaction and then right click on the split to the
Orphan AUD account you will get a popup menu one of the entries of which is
Delete Split.  If the split to Orphan AUD was the only split other than the
split to the Asset account you may need to provide a target account for the
second split of the transaction. There is no need to repeat the process of
deleting the split in the Orphan AUD account after deleting it from the
Asset register. 
GnuCash creates the splits to the Orphan AUD account whenever you create an
unbalanced transaction i.e. one in which the sum of the debit and credit
entries is not equal to zero.

the difference between Orphan and Imbalance accouts is explained in this
