Hi; my wife has a very small private practice and I have been writing 
entries in our checking account and her Business checking without much 
detail in them ( the entries ) Everything is into one file ,it is much 
easier to see everything in this way.

Recently I tried to help her a bit but I ran into a problem : in order 
to enter an income check from insurance company X  I tried to enter more 
detail because she gets a check for lets say 3 clients ,this 3 clients 
belong to the same insurance company X but since the have different

rates of pay, example : client A gets paid $50 , client B gets paid $ 70 
and client C gets paid $80 for a grand total of $ 200 so my wife gets a 
check for $ 200 from Insurance Company X ,before I use to just enter the 
total amount into her business checking account but a week ago

tried to enter or make that entry a Split entry trying to enter the 3 
clients and their amount of payment ,every entry from this goes into an 
Income account Named Insurance Company X  , now every time that I input 
an entry or client into the Split Gnucash asks where this

money is from  so in the transfer column I choose Income:Insurance Co. 
X  I do this for each client ,when I check the entry in the Income 
:Insurance Co. X  I find now 3 separated entries basically all the same 
each one of them with a Split and in it the 3 Clients. when in fact I

only input one entry  in the corresponding Assets:Business Checking , 
one Split with the 3 clients in it  not 3 as is shown in the Income: 
Insurance Co. X  part of the equation.

The question is : is there any way to input only one entry in the 
checking account and get only one entry in the income account?


Thank you for your help.
