The attached module extracts prices from the Vanguard price history page and adds them to the GnuCash price database. VanguardSite.pm will retrieve the most recent daily closing price (NAV) for Vanguard investments (funds, collective investment trusts, 529 portfolios ...) using Finance::Quote and add it to the GnuCash price history.

Save. Make Quote.pm read-only. Open gnucash. Add a Vanguard security. Attributes: - Full name, Display symbol, ISIN don't matter. - Type is FUND - Fraction traded is 1/1000 for most Vanguard investments - check your statement if in doubt. - Symbol/abbreviation must be the INTERNAL VANGUARD FUND ID (like 0052), NOT the ticker (like VGHCX). - Check Get Online Quotes, select the "Unknown" radio button, and select "vanguardsite" from the dropdown. - Timezone doesn't matter. Get online prices. You should see a price entry from the last full business day with type = nav. Feel free to message me with questions. I had a look at the code and I like it. Thing is Vanguard isn't just USA these days as you should know if you follow bogleheads My suggestion is you make Vanguard USA distinct from Vanguard in future.

GnuCash can print 3-up voucher checks, see https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/print-check.html. The only reason not to use it would be if you get checks that don't have the MICR routing id and account number pre-printed on them, but if you're currently filling them out by hand you must already have those.

[GNC] Voucher checks?
Good Day. The organization I am treasurer for currently has three-up checks that I fill out by hand. We typically only use 10 or less a year and I have plenty on hand but I would prefer not hand writing them out. I don't need GnuCash to print the checks but do need something that is usable from LibreOffice - ready made template? My research (Google) turns some up but everyone mentions being compatible with commercial accounting software. Probably so they can be printed from the software. Since I do not need that I would still like any thoughts or suggestions for a good brand.

If the report you are using doesn't respect your selection for this option, that would be a bug on the report. Also, please note that changing this option will not change historical data. It will change the behaviour going forward for new transactions entered. But, if there are only a few, you could go back and modify individual transactions through the register window after making the option change and rerun the report.

[GNC] Split Transactions: "wrong" Num fields show in reports
Hi, I've looked for this in the archives but nothing pops up. I have years of experience with GnuCash cannot seem to resolve this. Simplified, we have a regular bank account which is used to reimburse construction worker's out-of-pocket purchases. They provide a store receipt, which gets a NUMber, and an e-transfer is made to their bank account. Then we create a weekly transaction list, showing the all the expenses. It (of course) needs to show the receipt number. This works fine for individual payments (each expense is listed with the Num correctly shown). But if we repay the worker for two items, we enter it as a split: a credit to the bank, and two debits, one for each receipt (e.g. #27 Nails $5, #28 Paint $10). The problem is that the transaction report always shows the Num from the main entry in the bank ledger, not the individual Nums for the split lines. It does this even though the transaction report is selecting from the Expense ledgers, not the bank. Entry into Bank shows as follows in Autosplit mode Jan 1 #xxx John Smith C $15 #27 ABC Hardware Nails D $5 #28 DEF Paints PaintD $10 (bank tracking code)Bank AccountC$15 But the transaction report for expenses shows Jan 1 #xxx ABC Hardware Nails$5 Jan 1 #xxx DEF PaintsPaint$10 Note the Num shown is from the top line of the entry, but the description is from each split line. We need the Num from the split line to be shown. Is this a bug, or is it designed to work this way? And if so, why, and is there a work-around?
