Split Transaction with Income

codefossa commented 7 months ago

Issue

It doesn't appear possible to split a transaction with a portion of that going into income.

Desired Result

To be able to put part of a transaction into income, and the rest into a bucket.

Use Case

I have reimbursements that are bundled with additional things. I want to make sure I balance my work expenses while I treat the additional as income since it doesn't have 1-1 payments.

Current Workaround

I put the full amount into a budget and then remove money from that budget. This makes the transaction list much less clear on what was intended.

Another scenario to consider when doing this:

So when it is a credit card, there are multiple purchases.

I buy some clothes for +$150
I buy some gas for +$40

I pay the $190 on my credit card and split the total $190 and put -$150 toward my clothes bucket and -$40 to my gas bucket. Then the next week:

I buy some groceries for +$100
I return one of the sweaters that I bought for -$40

I pay the credit card bill of $60, but I want to categorize by doing a negative amount to my clothes bucket and the $100 to my groceries bucket.

In the above scenario, only the CC payment transactions are tracked, and there's no way to categorize the top transaction here to reflect the refund:
