            Bug ID: 495119
           Summary: Feature Request: Add support for scrip dividends
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: 5.1.3
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: musikolo at hotmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

For those having some stocks in companies that issue scrip dividends (aka,
scrip/capitalization issues), we find there is no native/direct support in
KMyMoney at this moment for this method of profit distribution. As a
workaround, what I do is creating 2 transactions:
1 - Add shares: for the new shares I'm entitled to.
2 - Dividend: for the remainder which is payed in cash to me.

I'd love to have support for this out of the box, so that it simplifies the
process of entering scrip dividends. I hope it isn't too hard to implement and
this new features gets released in the near future.

In the meantime, Kudos to the entire KMyMoney team!
