[GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 256, Issue 48

[Paras Desai]

I think There is an option for place holder account wherein, one can allow or restrict posting transaction. It may be checked what option has been selected.

Paras

Subject: [GNC] Placeholder accounts and scheduled transactions

This month I changed "Cash and Banks" to a placeholder account, and
added subaccounts for actual cash and each of my bank accounts. But I
have a couple of scheduled transactions that credit or debit Cash and
Banks, and I forgot to change those. To my surprise, when the
transactions fired, GC happily put the splits into Cash and Banks, even
though Cash and Banks is now a placeholder account (I checked). I would
have expected some sort of error message when those transactions fire,
ideally with some sort of popup to let me designate a non-placeholder to
take the split this time.

I'm at GC 4.14, so if 5.8 no longer posts SX to placeholder accounts
there's not much point in my entering a bug. But if the behavior is
still the same then I think  bug report is appropriate. Would someone be
willing to check, please?

Stan,
I created a SX in 5.8 and it still allows this.  Go ahead and file your bug report.


Thank You,
