5 Wrong report by transaction on splits with transfer - ID: 1560238

Last Update: Comment added ( sf-robot )

Details:

For example, I have a transaction where I spent 20.- on
my own stuff (say, food) and another 10.- on stuff for
somebody else, i.e. lending him my money.
In the transaction of 30.-, I enter two splits - one on
category "Food" and the other to account "Loans" (where
I keep all loans to friends etc.).
When I go to the "Loans" account, there is a
transaction that shows the correct 10.- with the
corresponding memo, but contains two splits (30.- and
-20.-). This wasn't really obvious to me, but may be right.
But then, when I create a report of Transactions by
Category, the Food-Part of the split transaction
appears *twice*.

Tested with kmymoney2 0.8.3 and 0.8.5.

Date: 2008-01-16 12:11 Sender: ipwizard Dear KMyMoney user, thank you for opening a tracker item on our bug tracker and giving us valuable feedback about a problem with the application. The problem reported cannot be reproduced with the current CVS HEAD version of the application. Maybe, we have fixed your problem with some of the changes we have made recently to the codebase. We therefore close this entry. If you are still able to reproduce the problem with current CVS HEAD version then please feel free to re-open the problem and state the fact that it still fails with CVS HEAD. Thank you for your support. The KMyMoney development team

Date: 2006-11-10 23:35 Sender: aegean Logged In: YES user_id=1640028 I've been tinkering with the transaction reports (querytable.cpp) to address this very design problem. So as not to interfere with the existing transaction reports, I've added a new report to querytable.cpp, AccountDetail, that seems to handle this split problem in a more appropriate way. The report groups transactions by Institution & Account, and with little effort can show split transaction detail or just summarized split transactions. The user can choose which accounts to include in the report. The report is not polished, but the "heavy lifting" is done and it does demonstrate an alternative logic for handling split transactions. I'd like to share the changes, but don't see a way to attach them here. My work is probably too premature to include directly via CVS. If there's any interest, please let me know. -dv
