Re: [GNC] Profit & Retained Earning don't match
Derek, Thanks for raising those legitimate points. I think a flag or trigger to reselect accounts would be helpful. I would note that, to my way of thinking, when I call up a saved report, I *am* running it from scratch, although I understand your perspective. From my corner, when I call up a custom report, I'm doing the exact same steps as when I run a system report "from scratch." I open the reports menu, and I ask to run my report. In one case, it's a new report from scratch; the other is not. That's confusing to me.

ANY report you re-run from scratch will start with the current set of accounts. Changing the list of accounts on a Saved Report, however, could have negative consequences, especially if the user explicitly set the set of accounts. Imagine if you explicitly wanted a Cash Flow report with all but one Asset account, saved it, and then when you re-ran the report that account got added in! That would change the report results. Arguably there *could* be a flag for "using the default" which would cause the saved report to use the current default (which may be different than the default at the time the report was saved). I'm not sure how we would encode that, and it certainly would not be a backwards-compatible change. > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Profit & Retained Earning don't match
Derek, Some of the standard reports automatically update the account selection when they are invoked. See, for example, the Advanced Portfolio report, which automatically selects new commodity accounts each time it is run. My recollection was that standard reports based on a class of accounts (assets, liabilities) will recompile the account list each time. It would seem useful to extend this functionality to saved reports as well... David T.

Re: [GNC] Profit & Retained Earning don't match
Is it possible that you are missing an account in one of the reports? For example, if you ran the report, then added an account, that new account would not be included by default in the report if you refresh it. You need to manually add the new account into the report.

Re: [GNC] Automatic sales tax
A further complication in calculating sales tax is that there is no uniform law regarding nexus. Whereas most states consider the location of the seller to be the nexus, there are others where the nexus is that of the buyer! In Florida, a seller in Okeechobee shipping an alligator skin wallet to a buyer in Pensacola is supposed to charge sales tax at the rate of the buyer's location 600 miles away. And, if the purchase was made from an online store whose owner was in Baton Rouge, same thing. Sales tax is one reason there is a difference between point-of-sale systems and accounting packages. -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of Adrien Monteleone Sent: Monday, February 21, 2022 12:45 PM To: gnucash-u...@lists.gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] Automatic sales tax Yeah, without a receipt in hand (or electronic) showing the breakout, no software can assume or guess reliably. That is just insane. In my state, you can have one location in one jurisdiction depending on what side of the street it is on, and the two properties to the left and right can each be in other separate districts. And then, you have to take into account purchasing location vs. delivery, and then the type of item or service. That is impossible for any software, paid for or not, to 'guess' based merely on a description containing a business name. Even if you pre-specified what each business you buy from charges, you might end up getting it wrong. (my grocery receipt for example charges one rate for food 'for home consumption' and another for everything else, and those subtotals of course vary from purchase to purchase) And that doesn't even scratch 'tax holidays'!

Re: [GNC] reconcile problem?
Well, I have multiple multiple cards with the same bank, & it's no trouble to detect the payments during import & deal with them in an appropriate manner. I n my case, I delete them from the import. That makes the reconciliation balance to the amount that was due. Then, when I import payments from by checking account, I allocate the payments to the correct card account. GNUcash is reasonable accounting software. It just doesn't do thinking for each individual's particular situation.

Re: [GNC] Report question
Do you mean Account Report? But when I go to File | Export, it asks me which accounts again, it doesn't export the actual report. When I export the transactions I want, it exports both sides of the transaction, so the column sum is always zero whereas I want the sum of the transactions. In other words, each transaction takes two lines, the line I want (the expense of what I bought), and the next line which is the account that paid it (like a charge card). How do I get rid of the double-lines on the export? Here's one line example: 02/23/2022 ff8275d221f24ecfa82aaf8f6e4c9852 Home Depot weed block CURRENCY::USD Expenses:House:Garden Garden $102.11 102.11 n 1 Liabilities:Credit Card:DCUvisa DCUvisa joint $(102.11) (102.11)n 1 On 2/24/2022 1:09 PM, David Carlson wrote: That procedure generates a mess, in my opinion.

[GNC] GNU Cash on Apple iPhone
Hello Group, I use my cell phone as an input device for GNU cash application on my Windows 10 laptop. I recently switched from an Android device to an Apple iPhone and noticed a lot of differences using the app on the iPhone. 1. I don't have the ability to export transactions as a QIF ( Quicken file format )2.The only option to export tractions is thru comma separated values.3. There is no setting menu on the iPhone to store the exported file to cloud storage as in the Android version. I have to manually move the csv file to the cloud storage for importing it on my PC.4. GNU Cash mobile doesn't come with any user manual. I would love these features to be added to the iPhone version or do you suggest I just get used to it?
