<pre wrap="">Hi Michael,
cool. You need to know, that categories is just a synonym for income/expense
account ;) So in most cases, categories work just like accounts and vice
versa.
p.s. on replies we usually keep the mailing list at least as cc so that others
can follow the communication.
Cheers
Thomas

<pre wrap="">Hi, Thomas.
Thanks for your quick answer. Works like magic. I was foxed by not
realising that I could put an account in the space I expected to need to
insert a category. The program does what I knew it had to do, but
could not see how.

<pre wrap="">I'm very new to KMyMoney v4.6.1 with Linux Ubuntu 12.04 on a Notebook
-
the final step in migrating from an elderly Desktop running on Windows
XP. Loving Linux, and liking KMyMoney a lot so far, but a lot to learn.
I frequently get "Cash Back" from my local supermarkets, e.g. pay for
my
groceries, say £28.37, plus (up to) £50 added to the bill and then
paid
cash into my hand at the checkout.
Recording this in KMyMoney I make a split transaction:
Payee: Paid to Supermarket
Category: Groceries £28.37
Category: Cash Back £50.00
Account: Total Transaction charged to my cheque account £78.37
So far so good. But this process has left the £50.00 cash in limbo
instead of adding it to my "Cash" or "Wallet" Account.
Can anyone advise me of the correct entries to make please?

You started out the right way. Instead of using the category 'Cash back'
simply use your 'Cash' or 'Wallet' account and you're set.
Hope that helps.
