Re: [GNC] v5.3 split transaction auto completion not working

[David H]

Revert to 5.1 and your splits will be auto completed :-)  I found it was
more work in 5.3 to have to manually re-enter the numerous splits I have in
txns than take advantage of the latest auto complete features.

As Adrien mentioned, I understand 5.3 remembers newly entered splits after
the upgrade to 5.3

Re: [GNC] Finance quote not working

[Paras Desai]

Hello John,

Thanks for the diagnosis – spot on.

I disabled price update for the stock from BSE and finance quote works 
just fine. I will keep it that way for the time being.


It was amazing how you devoted your time in helping me and very 
logically reached to the root of the cause.


My much gratitude and profound thanks to you for your wonderful help.

Best regards

Paras

Re: [GNC] Addition to basis

[Fred Tydeman]

Thank you for the instructions.

I started with my existing transaction with the Imbalance split in one
of the Income accounts.

In the Imbalance split, I changed the Imbalance account to the stock
asset account.  Pressed tab twice.  Got a popup of Transfer Funds.
Changed the Currency transfer Exchange Rate to 1.0 and clicked on OK.
Clicked on Enter at top of screen.  That filled in the Trading account
transactions.

Moved cursor to the stock asset split and clicked on Jump at top of
screen.

Now, in the stock asset account I (mostly) followed your instructions.
Cursor in stock asset split.  Type in Memo/description, tab to stock
asset account (already filled in), tab, 0.0 (for shares), tab, 0.0
(for price), tab, tab, Click on Enter at top of screen.

Re: [GNC] v5.3 split transaction auto completion not working

[Adrien Monteleone]

I and a few other folks have noted this, and my personal opinion is 
'bug' but I haven't filed it yet till I can narrow it down. (maybe 
someone else has though)


It *does* autofill after you enter a new transaction in 5.3. It is just 
that it seems to have amnesia for all transactions (save for the 
description) entered before 5.3.


Note - ALL transactions are 'split' between at least 2 accounts, though 
GnuCash doesn't show them as 'split' transactions unless they involve 3 
or more accounts. (really, 3 or more 'splits' which could technically 
still involve only 2 accounts)

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Addition to basis

[David Carlson]

The trick to adjusting the basis of a security position in GnuCash is to
start in the security account register then when on the security split line
of the transaction fill in description Tab enter security name Tab enter
zeroTtab enter zero Tab enter the currency value (negative to reduce basis)
Tab Tab into next split line.  The income or loss goes in another line with
the income account.

IIRC There is a description in chapter 9 of the Tutorial.

[GNC] v5.3 split transaction auto completion not working

[Martin Neumann]

Hello,
I just installed v5.3 and encounter a problem with split transactions.
In the past on split transaction entries in the past prior used entries 
were auto completed, which now does not anymore happen.
I used this a lot to call up the correct account for the transaction 
based on it's description.


On normal "non splitted" transaction entries the autocomplete works as 
documented.


Am I doing something wrong?
Is this feature removed?
Is it a "bug"?

If anyone could help it will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Re: [GNC] Addition to basis

[Brad Morrison]

Hi Fred/Derek/flywire/all,

Maybe I am just not understanding the situation as you are describing 
it, but I have not ever seen a 1099DIV (the USA's IRS form for 
accounting for dividend payments - 
https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1099-div) that also listed 
basis adjustments on it...? But I have only seen a few foreign/non-US 
dividend statements...


I understood basis adjustments to be accounted for when the asset is 
sold and the most common adjustments for US stocks are wash sales, but I 
can't ever remember seeing those noted on a 1099DIV, they are usually 
recorded on a 1099B (https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1099-b).


If the asset is not being sold/disposed of 
(https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-schedule-d-form-1040 & 
https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc703), would just making a note that 
could carry forward to the next year be the easiest thing to do?


Maybe I am just not understanding, are there more details that you could 
share with us?


Thanks,

Brad

P.S. Although I like to include all the related emails in my response, 
Thunderbird (the email client I use - 
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/) is separating flywire's email, even 
though it has the same subject line, from Fred & Derek's emails...?

[GNC] Addition to basis

On Tue, August 8, 2023 4:12 pm, Fred Tydeman wrote:
> How does one record an Addition to basis for a stock?


Good question.

I only got my head around this recently (eg
https://github.com/flywire/ETF-Annual-Statement uses ASX:VAS - Vanguard
Australian Shares).

Entity,Date,Description,Account,Deposit
Super,30/06/2018,VAS,Income:Distribution:13U,-3606.42
Super,30/06/2018,VAS,Income:Distribution:13C,-22870.71
Super,30/06/2018,VAS,Income:Distribution:13Q,7069.35
...
Super,30/06/2018,VAS,Asset:Shares:CostBase,-62.21
Super,30/06/2018,VAS,Income:Distribution:Rounding,-0.01

So, I group it to the share holding each year (like investment property
depreciation). This would be problematic selling part of a holding. I see
you are trying to attach the basis change to each share held as it actually
applies.

I'll be interested to see the responses, and hopefully a mention in the
documentation.

ISTR there are "issues" with this...  Keep in mind, when entering data in
the stock account, you need to enter TWO of the three values (#shares,
price, and value), and GnuCash will compute the third.  Note that it's the
#shares and total value that is stored, the price is always computed.  In
THIS particular case, you can TRY to enter 0 shares and the change in

I used Quicken for about 20 years and then changed to GnuCash... I also
only used it for checking, credit cards, and some investments.

I did not import anything; I just started afresh some years ago with
GnuCash (I figured that if I had to go back to Quicken, I could, but as the
years pass, this is less and less likely to be needed).

I have enjoyed GnuCash very much. I especially enjoy the fact that I can
run it on iMac, Windows, or Linux.

The one warning I'd give is that the reports in GnuCash are nowhere near as
ready-to-go as they were in Quicken. I struggled to get the reports to
report how and what I wanted.

But, on the other hand, people in this list are very helpful.

Re: [GNC] Finance quote not working

[john]

Paras,

OK, so something in F::Q's response is creating JSON that 
boost::property_tree's parser to throw. Let's find out what that might be. 
Please run
  "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash.exe" --log=gnc.quotes=debug
and try the Get Quotes button. That will dump a lot more detail, including the 
JSON in each direction, into the tracefile and should help diagnose the 
problem. If you'd rather not publish your stock portfolio to the world you can 
send me the file directly.

John Ralls

If you are now using QuickBooks Pro you already know the basics of 
double entry bookkeeping (unlike somebody coming from Quicken). How much 
trouble would you have switching to gnucash? I can't tell. I do know 
that back at the start of 2007 (after the late Fall 2006 house fire) 
instead of replacing QuickBooks Pro for Non-profits I moved all of the 
orgs for which I was keeping the books to gnucash. I had absolutely no 
trouble doing that, but do keep in  mind that I learned bookkeeping in 
the old days of pen and ink on paper << had total freedom how to use the 
replacement amount for "computers and software so why replace QuickBooks 
for non-profits since it had NONE of the special features a non-profit 
would want -- and if needing to do those things "manually" why not use 
free software and use the money for other computer stuff >>

Re: [GNC] Finance quote not working

[Paras Desai]

Thanks David,

Yes I have configured exactly as you have mentioned.

As advised by John, i checked Trace file, which says, failed to parse price.

So waiting for further advice under the situation.

Something seems wrong with my laptop or installation, as every one is getting 
the price update.

Hope to figure out what is going on at my end with your all help.


Thanks your kind efforts to help me out. Very much appreciated.

How have you set up the security editor entry for RELIANCE in your gnucash

just a thought, if you had been using Yahoo earlier, the symbol was RELIANCE.NS

Re: [GNC] Today's search....for .lck

[Jack Lockard]

maybe someone else who knows off the top of their head can advise a command 
that will export your file list to a text file

To get the text file do the following:

1, Open a Command window by typing CMD in the search box on the task 
bar.
2. Type in DIR C:\Users\Barry Mahon\Documents\Tax accounts and returns 
> filename.txt and press enter.
3. This will create a text file in the current folder location of the 
files in the folder specified in step 2.

Hope this helps,
Jack

First, for attachment images, they need to be 'as attachment' and *not* inline.

That is, in your e-mail app, attach the screenshot. Do not just paste it into 
the message mixed in with the text.

You may also have a setting in your e-mail app for this to toggle between 
'inline' and 'attachment'. For the mailing list - you *do not* want 'inline'. 
(the mailing list software will simply strip them out of the message)

Second, if you say there are hundreds of files, a screenshot isn't going to cut 
it anyway. (it would take many screenshots)

I'm not well versed on Windows command line, so without me spending time 
looking it up, maybe someone else who knows off the top of their head can 
advise a command that will export your file list to a text file that you can 
attach here. Of course, you'd want to use whatever options are available to 
include the original creation date & time, as well as a last modified date & 
time. (those can be shown or not shown as desired)

 From that list, we should be able to reasonably guess which is your latest 
file (or maybe even several candidates for it) and then you can open them and 
confirm.

I suspect though, that you have a condition where there are transactions in one 
file that aren't in another, and vice versa. And this may involve more than 2 
files. You'll have to decipher that for yourself once you figure out the file 
situation, and then we can proceed with helping you consolidate them into one 
book.

Lastly, it would be good to get a handle on how this happened in the first 
place, so the problem doesn't continue to compound.

But I too don't think you lost any data unless you started deleting .gnucash 
files without backups. (.lck files aren't necessarily a problem)

.gcm files store some preferences for each book. It would be best not to lose 
those for now, but losing them wouldn't be data lost.

Adrien

Paras,

GnuCash and gnucash-cli use the same code for Finance::Quote integration, so 
it's not that. You reported that updating your book worked until 26 July, so 
something must have changed around that day. Do you remember changing anything, 
like updating GnuCash or Finance::Quote, that might offer a clue?

There may be an error in your tracefile 
(seehttps://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile) that explains why the prices 
aren't being updated.

When trying to retrieve quotes in the GUI are you getting the message box 
saying that it couldn't retrieve quotes for some stocks followed by a list of 
stocks that fail?

Regards,
John Ralls
