Mort,

Why not have multiple asset accounts? For example, "Checking," "Equipment,"
"Petty Cash?" When you make a deposit you can split it among all pertinent
accounts.

They're not sub-accounts of a checking account, for example, but idividual
accounts. It's similar to a set of expense accounts; e.g, Rent, Utilities
(which would have sub-accounts for Electric, Gas, Water, Garbage or whatever
utility expenses you have), Repair & Maintenance, etc.

HTH,
