| Hi, I've found that Predefined Transactions are of limited use (and keep causing me mistakes) due to what I believe are a few minor bugs. Here are the steps to reproduce in the Sample Fund. In the Sample Fund: Add a second bank account (New_Bank) then Click on Cash & Bank Accounts | Predefined Transactions
(to get the Predefined Transaction Manager) Highlight “Cash Payment” Click Add New Select “Cash Payment” as the Transaction Type Give the name (bug_test) and click “Enter Details” Select “New_Bank” as the Paying From value and define a transaction to pay $100 to Jeremy Audit from New_Bank and allocate it Asset “Factory” and Account “5125 – Auditor’s Remuneration”. Click Create. In the Proceed? Window you will be prompted to confirm CR New_Bank: 123 $100.00
DR 5125: Auditor’s Remuneration. Click Yes. Now highlight the Cash Payment in the All Predefined Transactions Tree, and click “View and Process”. You will see that the Paying From is “CBA: 12345” not “New_Bank” as expected. In addition, if you navigate through the fields using the TAB key (I find a mouse very cumbersome for data entry) to reach the SAVE button, you will see that the Account field loses its value during what I imagine is the OnLoseFocus event and becomes "-None-" instead of 5125. (This latter also happens on the equivalent Record Receipts dialog. *) Obviously not a high priority, but here's hoping you can tidy this in a maintenance release some time. (And an accelerator on the Save and Exit buttons would be welcome everywhere! ) Regards, TonyG *The Receipts dialog fails to maintain the Asset selection of the predefined transaction too! For instance, define an Interest receipt with CASH as the asset and try to process it.
