GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 339002
Confusing dialog in scheduled transaction editor
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:01:46 UTC
This is Debian bug #218603. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=218603 Package: gnucash Version: 1.8.7-4 Severity: normal When the scheduled transaction editor initially presents the template transaction it displays headings of "Tot Funds In" and "Tot Funds Out" for the columns holding the amounts. While editing the splits in the transaction these headings change to "Debit Formula" and "Credit Formula" respectively. This is very misleading since the initial headings reflect the actual effect of splits posted in each column - anything entered into the "Debit Formula" field will appear as a credit on the account, for example. Confirmed in SVN 1.9.5 r13796.
These are the standard terms used for these columns in a general ledger, which is the register view used for the template transaction editing.
