[GNC] Using the advanced portfolio report for mutual fund income

[Alister Briggs]

Can anybody help me work around a problem using the Advanced Portfolio 
Report to report income on mutual funds where a single payment is made 
for multiple funds? The Advanced Portfolio report requires atransaction 
split to include a dummy transaction of zero value as shown below:

Scenario 1 - A single distribution payment per fund

Direct Credit CFS Distribution

	

	

	

100

	

100

	

Assets: Bank: CBA

	

100

	

	

	

Income: Mutual Funds: CFS: Fund1

	

	

100

	

	

Assets: Investments: Fund managers: CFS: Fund1

	

0

	

0

	

	

	

	

	

In this situation the Advanced Portfolio Report correctly reports the 
income for Fund1 as $100.

Where more than one fund is paid the split becomes more complicated:


Scenario 2 - A single distribution payment for two funds

Direct Credit CFS Distribution

	

	

	

100

	

100

	

Assets: Bank: CBA

	

100

	

	

	

Income: Mutual Funds: CFS: Fund1

	

	

75

	

	

Assets: Investments: Fund managers: CFS: Fund1

	

0

	

0

	

	

Income: Mutual Funds: CFS: Fund2

	

	

25

	

	

Assets: Investments: Fund managers: CFS: Fund2

	

0

	

0

	

In this situation the Advanced Portfolio Report incorrectly reports the 
income for both Fund1 and Fund2 as $100. How do I correct this so the 
result for Fund1 is $75 and Fund2 is $25?

I am using GnuCash 4.1 on Windows 10 and fairly new user.


Thank you for your efforts
