[GNC] accounts setup (how to duplicate same payment in two expense accounts)

[Nate Bargmann]

I had a similar question a while back and the solution was to use
sub-accounts.  In this case I would try the following and see how it
works for you:

Expenses:Vehicle:Gasoline
Expenses:Vehicle:Gasoline:Vacation

Then make sure that E:V:G is not a placeholder account so you can enter
transactions into it.  From what I've seen, E:V:G will show the total of
both accounts in the Accounts tab but in the account detail will only
show the transactions actually entered into that account.

Someone else may have a better solution, but that is how I would try it
right now.  In fact I am doing just this to track specific items within
a category of income/expense.
