[GNC] Transfers to subaccounts, hide the transaction?

[Nate Bargmann]

This is a bit complicated, of course!

I have a main checking account with a number of subaccounts.  So far so
good as it is a concept that is working well.  After a couple of months
of this I can see some things becoming unwieldy, particularly when
reconciling as I have numerous "transfer" transactions that will never
be reconciled.  In a nutshell, what I have is this.

Deposit entry, all or part of which should be assigned to a designated
subaccount.  This, of course shows as coming from an Income account and
then into the checking account.

Transfer entry, whatever amount needs to be assigned to the subaccount
is deducted from the main checking account and applied to the
subaccount.

The transfer entries would be nice to hide or eliminate.  I tried
combining one into a deposit entry and that created a second deposit
entry that mirrored the original but with differing amounts.  I
scratched that idea rather quickly!

If there is no other clean way to do this, I wish I could at least avoid
having the Transfer transactions prior to the current reconciliation
time frame showing in the reconciliation dialog.  I can see that by the
end of the year or a few years down the road that this is going to be a
huge mess!

TIA
