Hi
I am a new user of kmymoney and after trying a number of other
alternatives I find your program pretty good.
Just a couple of small suggestions. I had some troubles in the Ledger
page, entering transactions, until I figured that the transactions and
the transaction entry (modification) sections are two separate sections.
I then found the colours bit in the settings section and changed the
alternate background colour to orange and all was clear. Suggest you
consider this for a default - to make life easier for newbies.
Also I had troubles with the Dividend re-investment Activity, and with
an Australian Tax arrangement called 'Franking (or Imputation) Credits"
. To work around this I created a Dividend Account called Dividends plus
Cash C/fwd and an account called Franking Credit.
I enter a Dividend Re-investment with franking credit as follows:
1. Activity: Dividend
Security: ABC Company (or whatever)
Account: Investments:Dividends plus Cash C/fwd
Interest: Dividend Re-investment plus Cash (Category)
(Perhaps you could rename "Interest" as Income)
2. Activity: Buy Shares
Security: ABC Co.
Account: Investments:Dividends plus Cash C/fwd - No of
shares and price per share.
3. For Franking Credit
Activity: Dividend
Security: ABC Co.
Account: Investments: Franking Credit
Interest: Franked amount $...
Otherwise a very nice product. Hope these comments are useful.
