Looking at the scheduled transaction editor in conjunction with the preference "Accounts->Labels->Use formal accounting labels" shows that with formal accounting labels disabled things are fairly easy to understand: the labels for the columns say "Total funds in/out" with in corresponding to an increase in the account and out corresponding to a decrease. If, however, I opt to use formal accounting labels then I find that "Funds in" is mapped to debit and "Funds out" is mapped to credit. It is this labelling that is so counterintuitive. > But the reported bug was that credit/debit terminology was being used > when the user had requested otherwise; gnucash does not support using > anything but credit/debit terminology on general ledgers, and it's not It's not so much that I had requested otherwise as that the terminology doesn't seem to map onto the expected behaviour at all. > at all clear what it could use there except that, nor is it clear how > the scheduled transaction entries could be anything but general ledger > entries. One option would be to let the user edit scheduled transactions in the context of an account, giving the view normally given for the account. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
