This is actually the way that kmymoney works. Each simple transaction has two
splits one for the source account and one for the destination account. When you
view the transaction from the source account "Memo A" is shown, when you view
it in the destination account "Memo B" is shown. When you create the
transaction in kmymoney the memo of the two splits are identical. The only way
to obtain different memos is to go in the other account and change the memo
from there which seems OK to me.
Now if one of the accounts is a category then, if you view the transaction in
the category (from the category's POV), you can't edit the transaction thus you
can't obtain two different memos for income/expense transactions you can only
do it for transfers.
I'm not sure why it is this way but I think it has something to do with 'hiding
the complexity of a double entry accounting system'.
I'm going to mark this as not going to be done but if anyone has a strong
opinion that this should be changed please speak up.
