RE: Deleting an invoice or credit

That worked. Clearer answer. The "." in the original looked like a period at 
the end of your sentence.  Thanks!

Hi.

 

As I said in my original reply:

 

[Matches Regex]  .

 

You should type '.' (without the quotes) -- as I said in my reply.

 

Regex == Regular Expression

 

If you want them in a journal format, open your A/R account.

> I've taken a more direct tack with envelope budgeting.   For example,
assuming the savings account Assets:Current Assets:Savings Account
represents a real bank account, I have also created Assets:Current
Assets:Savings Account:Travel, and have a monthly auto transaction that
transfers money to the Travel subaccount from its parent account.  This
goes in my budget as a monthly transfer (stashing cash in an envelope) and
then comes out in large chunks as its spent on trips.

This also works well with other expense types where I have to make
absolutely certain that an amount of money in my accounts is clearly
"reserved" for a specific purpose, but where there isn't a regular monthly
expense (e.g. property taxes, which are billed six times a year here, at
apparently irregular intervals).

In the accounts list, comparing the "Balance" to the "Total" columns shows
the difference between what's in the real bank account vs. what's
"unreserved" (or, not transferred to a subaccount).

The only thing I haven't worked out is Present is to Total as  is to
Balance.  This would be helpful for distinguishing the two when
future-dated transactions are in use.

Correct.

I want to create a budget for the whole year...most of expenses are
'monthly-regular', but e.g. I'd like that for non-regular expenses like
car-insurance, utility bills for heating etc. to take into account that those
are not evenly distributed and/or do happen just once in year, so e.g. if total
cost of re-registering/insurance of my car does cost $600, it would be nice
that budget's Estimate function would distribute it as $50/month (although
Doug's Average report does compensate it), so that I can know that in my
spending I have to put $50 aside per month to take into account such
one-time-expense-per-year.

Doug's report makes me enthusiastic to learn some Scheme/Guile, but here I do
wonder whether the above-discussed budget features could by solved by it or do
they require C-surgery?

Whereas gnucash is Free Software (I'm not talking about cost), the
developers are volunteers, and there are no customers of GnuCash, I
strongly disagree. Nobody is entitled to receive help with Free Software.
Instead, the appropriate response to developers' and expert users'
responding to inquiries rather than spending their time sitting in a sauna
is thankfulness.
