Hello,

I'm most commonly known as jdd (but this is not accepted by account creation), long term kde user :-).

My present problem is managing the money about a small apartment I manage for one of my childs. I have problems managing the initial payment (several sources, but all cash) and some aspect of the loan: I have to keep a part of the payment (that may have to be refunded at the end of the loan), and part of the payment from the tenant is for loan of hardware of my own, not for the rent.

To be more precise, an example.

I receive on the bank account 410€ from the tenant. This is 310€ for the loan, 80€ for the condominium charges, 20€ for hardware loan (computer...).

How do I write this to kmymoney?

by the way, do you know any french forum on this same subject, part of the answer may be local regulation only?

thanks
jdd

Could it be, that you mean rent (louage) instead of loan (crédit)? In the former case (rent), that is simple.

In KMyMoney you create (and probably have done so already) an account that reflects your bank account. Next you create three income categories: a) louage, b) charges and c) hardware. When you receive the payment of 410€ you add a transaction to the account with the tenant's name as payee. Then create a split transaction and assign three splits, one to each category as mentioned above. Once all are entered, the unassigned value should be 0 €. Save the splits and the transaction. Voilà. Ça y est !

In case a loan is involved, things may be a bit more difficult, but we need more details then.

Hope that helps. Unfortunately, I don't know of any French forum here, but certainly there are other French users.

Thanks, I will try this
