Re: [GNC] delete transactions

2018-11-02 Thread David Carlson
James,
Look under File>Properties>Accounts and see if you have set a value for Day
Threshold for read only transactions.  If so, either increase the number of
days or set it to zero to disable it.

Then you should be able to edit the transaction to assign an account to any
split line or even add or delete split lines.

Dear John,

Thanks for the tip!  After a bit of experimentation, it seems that the

If I reduce the number to five or fewer, the price update works.  I 
guess this has to do with the limitations of AlphaVantage, which I have 
seen discussed elsewhere.  Thanks again for your support!


I'm not seeing an obvious solution to this other than allowing some time 
between requests which raises other issues, like, the currency trader 
jockey pressing "get my price now" every minute. [1]


I have an odd currency pair that only works in the early hours in 
european time.  That is sort of OK for me because I know when it works 
and it is when that market is open.


I sort of feel sorry for anyone providing free prices these days.

So many tiny people wanting so much for free.

isn't suitable. For starters it records a price per day, think about the 
significance of that for an intra day trader.  Duh!

If the person that is paying isn't specific (i.e. they don't say, I am 
paying 100 for this invoice and 50 for that) you are within your rights 
to allocate the payments as you see fit so long as you tell them.  I'm 
presuming no dispute about services done, offered, etc.


The normal accounting way is to allocate the payments to the oldest 
invoice, produce statements and keep communicating.


This isn't gnc specific, the "tidy up occasionally" exercise should 
result in a statement of account, the number at the bottom being what 
you expect to be paid.


If your client / customer / whoever disagrees with your allocation of 
payments then you have a conversation, this is generally a good thing.

No, the version in the 18.04 repo is 2.6.19, but 3.3 is available in the 18.10 
repo.

Your other option would be flatpak, though I think it is still at 3.2, I 
haven’t checked in a while.

You could also build 3.3 yourself. The process is not very difficult and the

Nope. I had numerous accounts and thousands of transfers and transactions. I

imported it all at once. I had to go through and correct many quicken oddities

re-exported again until it just worked.

Perhaps your Quicken had no transfers between accounts?

I posted in this list and was told that's how it is because the transfer
appears in two places in the QIF file and figuring out that it's the
same transaction was not worth implementing in the import code.
I also tried editing the QIF code manually but finally gave up because
that merely moved the manual intervention, didn't eliminate them.

Best thing to do is be aware of the issue and just try it and see
what happens, then post your results here.

Many years ago, I made the jump with a quicken file that had all sorts of 
accounts. I had no problems with duplicates, although capital gains were a 
challenge.

Indeed, https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Quicken_Migration supports what you are 
saying here. 

As far as I know, qdf files have no conversion options. Period. You will have 
to export qif from quicken.

If I recall correctly QDF format is a proprietary and encrypted format
owned by Intuit.  The only way to extarct the data is to use the Guicken
program to open the file and then export to QIF format.  Hang on to Quicken
until you have experimented with importing the QIF files into GnuCash to be
sure that you are getting satisfactory results.

GreetingsWe have for years used Quicken, (1998 at least) (latest is 2008) they

GNUCASH was chosen and downloaded. I need to import the latest file

.qdf as a working extension and as backup files.I have downloaded a conversion

Does anyone know of a conversion for .qdf to .qif so I can use gnucash.

Re: [GNC] how to process refunds

Third option:
Issue a credit note for the amount that was overpaid, refund the customer, 
apply this refund as payment for the credit note.

Which one to choose depends on what you happened in reality and how formal 
your accounting should be.

If the accounting should be very formal, you're not supposed to modify past 
transactions. Instead you add corrective transactions. Hence a credit note and 
a refund as "payment" for that credit note. This handles the situation without 
touching the past.

Regards,

Geert
