coupon payments

[fundsankore]

Hello Mark,

I need help with the following:

1)How do you process a coupon payment

2)How do you process a bond maturity?

Hi fundsankore,

A bond coupon payment is recorded as a distribution of type "Interest Income". A bond maturity is recorded as a sell transaction.

It might be a good idea to add your instructions above to the existing help page "Recording Bond Transactions".

Transaction import usually handles my bonds when they mature, and they get labeled as a redemption. Today I needed to enter one manually, but "redemption" was not available as a transaction type. So I was unsure if I should enter it as a "sell", or as a distribution, using distribution type "return of capital".

Hi quercus,

Thanks for the feedback. The Recording Bond Transactions documentation page has been updated.
