[GNC] deleting empty items in a split

[William Prescott]

It happens to me once in a while as well. However, it is easy to delete the line. If your cursor is in the imbalance line, clicking on the delete button will delete the line. If your cursor is on the first line of an entry, the delete button deletes the whole transaction.

Best wishes,
Will

When you get down to the final amount, you can also change the imbalance account to the proper account for the remaining amount



Thank You,

Hello.

I have had this problem as well -- usually when I am entering split data
and forget to replace the Imbalance or Orphan line with the correct
account. You can right-click over any unwanted account and select "Delete
Split" and it removes only that entry; the option "Remove Other Splits"
deletes all of the splits.
