KMyMoney Digest, Vol 136, Issue 7

[Michael Carpino]

Another option would be to use the move option for the shares.  This
retains the original information for the shares (purchase date, quantity,
price) and the reporting is correct.  How I've done this in the past is
first I filtered the shares I wanted to move by using the option at the top
of the ledger.  I would add a note in the memo by editing the
transaction stating the move.  My memo was something like, "Transferred
shares on February 14, 2022 from ABC Brokerage to XYZ Brokerage".  I copied
and pasted this in order to simplify things a bit.  Next I would right
click in the ledger the transaction containing the shares to be moved,
select "Move transaction to" select the account they're going to and you're
done.  You have to do this for each individual company and shares but it
keeps the reporting correct.
