Hi

I'm the treasurer of three sports clubs. They all have the same setup.
Most of the income is membership fees and we pay Invoices for
equipment and other costs. We have no tax or billing needs. The
account plan for each club is almost the same. So a very simple setup.

Can I run all three clubs as individual "companies" in GnuCash? And is
GnuCash the right application to do this?

I run the accounts for a couple of clubs with similar needs.  Setup
one accounts file for each club so they are kept separate.  I have not
bothered with the complexities of the business features (invoices etc)
as I have not found them necessary.

As to whether it is the right application for you I can only say that
it meets all my needs (and handles my personal accounts too, in anther
accounts file of course) and is very good value for money.

I'm aware of the tutorial page and I see a lot of stock oriented

Re: [GNC] Inheritance of Cash

[R. Victor Klassen]

There may have been a small amount of earnings between the death and 
distribution. Not sure about the treatment here but the US does charge the 
heirs tax on their part of those gains.

[GNC] Problem with column mapping in Import preview window

[Paul Konnersman]

I’m a very new user, trying to import transaction data in CSV format. I am
running GC 3.3 on a Mac Powerbook with High Sierra (10.13.6).


I imported two files with a minimum of problems using GC 2.6, then found
out that the current version was now 3.3 and upgraded.


I am having problems with the import preview Window—trying to map columns.
It is difficult to get the cursor to move appropriately, it suddenly
disappears just when you are about to make selection, once you make a
selection it reverts back to “NONE”, eventually I get “do not enter” icons
to the right of the dates and the lines all turn red.


Any suggestions? I am thinking of trying to export what I have and then go
back to GC 2.6.

Re: [GNC] V3.3 on Ubuntu 18.10 can't Save As over existing mysql database

[John Ralls]

Check your MySQL logs and see if it’s raising error 1007 (database exists) 
after the second CREATE DATABASE query. There might be a timing issue where 
MySQL is still cleaning up after the DROP DATABASE when the second create query 
arrives. If so it might be evident from the MySQL logs.

I can resize it except that I cannot shrink the width down
sufficiently small that it will fit in the available space when
maximised.  Unlike with 2.19, scroll bars do not appear below the
register when an attempt is made to shrink the window further, it just
won't allow further shrinking.

 Window [size] management (maximize,minimize,resize, etc.) is a function of 
 the
 window manager (duh). Can you maximise any other application windows under
 Ubuntu 18.10 Beta?
 
 It *might* be an issue with the GUI toolkit gnucash is using or *possibly* 
 a
 gnucash bug in how gnucash is using that GUI toolkit.

Re: [GNC] No Maximise button on 3.3 in Ubuntu 18.10

[Colin Law]

I am using standard Ubuntu not Xubuntu, so there are normally the
usual Close, Minimise and Maximise buttons in the window title bar.
The maximise is a white square.

I was not entirely accurate in my last post.  I have the Ubuntu Dock
bar down the left hand side and not auto hidden which reduces the
available window width slightly.  If I put the dock at the bottom of
the screen then it is possible to see the whole gnucash window width
and the maximise is available again.  I guess something is noticing
that there is not room for the minimum window width when maximised so
it won't let it maximise.  It is a 1280 width screen so the minimum
window width that gnucash will let me shrink the window to, with the
tabs at the side, is about 1200 pixels.

Re: [GNC] No Maximise button on 3.3 in Ubuntu 18.10

[Roger Miskowicz]

I tried what I think you said in 18.04 and 3.35 can not shrink to where
there is a horizontal scroll bar.  The Maximize '+' button is there
regardless whether the tabs are at the top or right side.

Just to ensure we're talking about the same button.  In Xubuntu 18.04 I
don't have the Maximize button as displayed by Alt-Touch instead at the top
right I just have '-+x' which seems to be what I have in all my
applications.  The '+' toggles maximize or not maximize.

Re: [GNC] V3.3 on Ubuntu 18.10 can't Save As over existing mysql database

[Colin Law]

I am using MySQL.  When I attempt to Save As over an existing database
I see the database already exists warning then when I tell it to go
ahead I get the generic server encountered error or bad or corrupt
data message.

In gnucash.trace I see
* 15:40:07  WARN 
[GncDbiBackend::session_begin()] Databse already exists, Might
clobber it.
* 15:41:37  CRIT 
[GncDbiBackend::session_begin()] Unable to create database
'gnucash'

If I then look in mysql I see that the database has been dropped, and
if I try to Save As again it creates the database correctly.  So it
appears the drop database is working but then it is unable to create
the new one for some reason after dropping, but is able to create it
if it does not need to drop it.

Re: [GNC] No Maximise button on 3.3 in Ubuntu 18.10

[Colin Law]

Sorry, I should have said that all other apps I have tried operate as expected.

Alt-Space does not show Maximise.  It does show Unmaximise but it is greyed out.

However I have had a Eureka moment.  There seems to be a change with
3.3 to do with window width. On 2.9 the window (when not maximised)
could be shrunk down so that the right hand fields of the register
were not visible, and a scroll bar then appeared at the bottom of the
register.  With 3.3 it appears this is not possible, the window can
not be shrunk to the point where a scroll bar appears.  I have my tabs
shown down the right hand side and the result is that the smallest
window size is slightly larger than the size of my screen.  In that
state it is not possible to maximise the window.  If I place the tabs
at the top then it is possible to maximise.  I can then place them at
the side again and it stays maximised but if I close and re-open
gnucash then it unmaximises again.

This may also have been an issue happened when I built 3.3 from source
on Ubuntu 18.04 to test it, I don't know. I may just not have noticed
it then.

Colin,

The bugs were https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796724 
 for MySQL/MariaDB and 
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789594 
 for SQLite3.

What DB Engine are you using and do you get an error or is it just refusing to 
drop the existing DB?

Re: [GNC] Feedback: Balance Sheet (Multi-Column) / Income Statement (Multi-Column)

[Christopher Lam]

Hi Deva

Thanks for feedback.

Charts were planned but not quite finished.

Period Average is actually present in the Transaction Report. Select 
either Asset/Liability accounts, or Income/Expense accounts, (or both). 
From sorting tab, select Primary-Key = account-name, Secondary-Key = 
date, secondary-subtotal = month, Display / Subtotal table = enabled.


You'll find monthly subtotals per account in the subtotal table.

Hello Christopher,

A while ago, you posted the multi-column versions of balance sheet and income 
statement to this list for beta testing.

Recently, my son started college and he was “voluntold” to use GnuCash and 
share the datafile with me for monthly analysis. These 2 reports you published 
are coming in handy because that’s just the information I need to help with 
tracking his assets/expenses, month after month.

Comments

Both reports have a check box for “Enable charts” in the report options dialog. 
I’m guessing this is work in progress because I don’t see any charting when 
this option is enabled.

Income Statement has a nice option wherein I can ask for “Period Totals” as a 
summary column at the end. I know “Period Totals” doesn’t make sense for the 
balance sheet version, but I was wondering if you can show “Period Average” 
instead, in the balance sheet report. While I can see how my son's financial 
standing is changing by looking at his assets month after month, it will be 
nice to know what is needed on a monthly average basis, so I can plan for next 
year’s funding accordingly. It will also help me analyse which month’s he is 
going over/under average.

Otherwise, the reports look pretty good. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers.

Window [size] management (maximize,minimize,resize, etc.) is a function of the
window manager (duh). Can you maximise any other application windows under
Ubuntu 18.10 Beta?

It *might* be an issue with the GUI toolkit gnucash is using or *possibly* a 
gnucash bug in how gnucash is using that GUI toolkit.

Re: [GNC] Is GnuCash the right application for me?

[Michael or Penny Novack]

I run the accounts for a couple of clubs with similar needs.  Setup
one accounts file for each club so they are kept separate.  I have not
bothered with the complexities of the business features (invoices etc)
as I have not found them necessary.


I am a person who is treasurer for organizations and gnucash is 
certainly suitable.


One issue though. It is unfortunate that that the "invoice" system is 
limited to "business features" and the assumption that accounting will 
be on the accrual basis (and that invoiced amounts are "receivables"  << 
the members of many organizations want to receive invoices for 
membership fees, etc. >>


HOWEVER -- this cannot be considered a fault of gnucash since many of 
the commercial alternatives share that same defect << even when the 
product is being sold as "the non-profit version" >> The general case 
situation for non-profits is that they need invoicing capability for 
BOTH "receivables" (say billing for services provided) and 
"non-receivables" (like membership dues -- there is NO legal obligation 
to continue paying those). To make things even worse, members may be 
making "pledges" which ARE receivables but only under conditions of the 
pledge AND members usually want those shown on a "unified statement".


The sad truth is that the "small non-profit" market probably isn't large 
enough to support the creation of accounting systems so specialized. So 
we get by with work arounds.

[GNC] V3.3 on Ubuntu 18.10 can't Save As over existing mysql database

[Colin Law]

I believe that on early 3.x versions that it was not possible to Save
As on top of an existing database of the same name.  I thought that
had been fixed in or before 3.3 but I note that it still fails using
3.3 from the Ubuntu 18.10 repository.  Also I cannot find a bug
referring to the problem.

Can someone elucidate?

Re: [GNC] Mutual fund cost basis changes between 2.6.6 and 2.6.19

[Deva -]

John,

Thanks for fixing the issue on average cost basis in release 3.3. I can now 
confirm that 3.3 reports balance sheet numbers correctly and my imbalance only 
shows 0.20 over 18 years of data (instead of 100’s of thousands before).

With this fix and the CSV price importer feature, I have everything I need from 
GnuCash.

Cheers.

purposes, I noticed that the cost basis on one of my mutual funds has changed 
significantly (see attached screenshot for the transactions on that mutual fund 
account).

Some history on this fund. It used to be called Fidelity Flexi Gilt Fund and I 
had invested INR 850,000 and accumulated 70,362.427 shares as of 16-Nov-12. But 
on 23-Nov-2012, Fidelity sold its mutual fund business in India to L Mutual 
Fund and the latter decided to merge Fidelity’s gilt fund into its own - now 
called L Gilt Fund.

When this merger happened, I simply used the stock split assistant to reduce 
the no. of shares by 34,769.081 based on the account statement sent by L

As of 2.6.6, the (average) cost basis on the balance sheet report correctly 
showed INR 850,000 even after the “stock split” transaction. But in the latest 
version 2.6.19, the balance sheet report shows the same cost basis as 
429,978.69. I think it has reduced the cost basis by the cost of the shares 
reduced from the merger i.e., 34,769.081 shares.

This is causing such differences to show up as imbalance in my reports!

Has the computation of cost basis changed between these versions? If so, how 
should I go about accounting for cases such as above to maintain proper cost 
basis?

Odd thing though is that I have a no. of stocks that declared a stock split, 
but in those cases, the cost basis is correctly maintained even after the 
split. This behaviour is only seen in mutual fund shares (as far as I can tell).

I rely on GnuCash reports for my annual tax reporting, so it’s important that 
the reports I generate have a proper explanation for the numbers shown.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Yes, the calculation of average cost changed in 2.6.12 to fix a bug, but that 
opened another can of worms, see 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775368. I intend to have a solution 
for 3.0 and if you can add the details of your use-case to the bug that will 
help.

Regards,
John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Inheritance of Cash

[R. Victor Klassen]

Canada does not have inheritance tax.  Presuming the executor got it right, the 
estate paid all its taxes before releasing the last of the inheritance.  I’m 
not sure what happens if the executor screws up and distributes too much before 
CRA has its final say on how much the estate owes (basically any capital gains 
and the remaining value of any RRSP/RIF/LIF are treated as income in the year 
of death, in addition to the usual income for that year, and these are taxable 
just the same as if they had been sold the day before death).  And there’s 
probate, which is another tax - also to be paid by the estate before the final 
distribution.

As far as GnuCash is concerned, that has already been answered.

I run the accounts for a couple of clubs with similar needs.  Setup
one accounts file for each club so they are kept separate.  I have not
bothered with the complexities of the business features (invoices etc)
as I have not found them necessary.

As to whether it is the right application for you I can only say that
it meets all my needs (and handles my personal accounts too, in anther
accounts file of course) and is very good value for money.

[GNC] Is GnuCash the right application for me?

[Leslie Jensen]

Hi

I'm the treasurer of three sports clubs. They all have the same setup.
Most of the income is membership fees and we pay Invoices for
equipment and other costs. We have no tax or billing needs. The
account plan for each club is almost the same. So a very simple setup.

Can I run all three clubs as individual "companies" in GnuCash? And is
GnuCash the right application to do this?

I'm aware of the tutorial page and I see a lot of stock oriented
subjects so I thought that maybe I'm in over my head?

Thanks

Les

Further to my recent post that Ubuntu 18.10 will have gnucash 3.2 I
see this has now been updated to version 3.3

Ubuntu 18.10 Beta is available for installation/upgrade now (with
gnucash 3.3) and should be released within a couple of weeks.
