First, make sure to Save Config As for any report you've had to do a lot 
of customizing to generate.


For my own personal use, there are a few reports I use most:


These two:
Assets & Liabilities > Balance Sheet (Multicolumn)
Income & Expense > Income Statement (Multicolumn)
In Options for each:
General
Period duration: pick months, years, etc. your choice!
Start and end dates
Decide "If more than 1 period column, include overall period?"
Display - make your choices :)
Commodities - Check box for "common currency" so any investments show as 
their values, not share counts



Groceries and restaurant spending by half-year monthly average.
Expense Chart
Income & Expense > Expense Chart
In Options:
General
Set report name you want
Start and end dates
Step size: Half Year
Show average: Monthly
Display - Chart type: Line Chart
Accounts - Choose your food accounts

There is a point on the chart every six months, and it is the average 
total of the months that comprise it.  If you're someone who buys, say, 
half a cow a couple of times a year, when looking at what you spend in 
groceries on average in a month, it doesn't make sense to have this 
massive spike in cow-buying months but then have very low meat bills 
other months as you eat down your stash.  This is great to see long-term 
effects on your food budget due to different shopping choices and/or 
inflation.

If desired, you can edit the widths by text so all the accounts match. I
like this as after a while you develop a muscle memory of the columns and
you navigate faster when the columns are the same.

Re: [GNC] UI Problem with 4.14

[David Carlson]

Robert,

Once you get used to it, this method is about as hser friendly as possible
given the overall register design.

I have found that for the size and resolution of the monitors that I
currently own, I first need to adjust the display setting to default to a
smaller font size to get more text into the register width, then I might
double click in the headers of some columns to show the widest entry
completely.  Then I drag the right edge of the description column to the
left to remove the scrollbar at the bottom.  I need to repeat for each
account that I use regularly, then close the Gnucash program with those
registers still open to save those settings in the .gcm file for that data
file, as mentioned by others.

One mor litle gem, if a window opens too big to see a button at the bottom,
for example, hold down the Alt key and grab anywhere in the window with the
mouse and you can drag it around as needed.

All I can say is *no other application* with a resizable column UI that I have

Yes, that's how you do it, sort of. And if you try, it does make sense

For example, to widen the Account column, drag its right border to the

columns *other than* the description to your liking, *first*.


Then, to remove the scroll bar and size the Description to take up the

Widths) drag its right-border to the left and let it snap back into 
place. (hence it auto-sizes)



OK, I am totally confused. How do I make a column to the right of the
Description wider *without* draging the right handle of the Description column

See above.

I don't want to *shrink* the columns to the right of the

Description, I want to make one of them wider. How does one do that without
shrinking the Description column? Where does the space come from? How does one
add space?


You are 'adding width' as you resize the other columns which triggers a 
scroll bar. You then snap the Description column back and the scroll bar 
goes away.


What is happening is that there is some total window width W, which

is the sum of widths of all of the columns (plus the margin space). If one
wants to make some column Cx wider, some other collumn Cy needs to shrink, but
this is impossible if the only column that is "shrinkable" (Cy) is the
Description column. I can make columns to the *left* of the Description wider
or narrower, but not the columns to the right of the Description. Any attempt
to make any of them wider ends up making them all narrower until eventually
one (or more) of them end up with a width of 0. As far as I am concerned, this
is a bug (and a serious one at that). This makes no sense.


Yes it does - try it and stop thinking about it.

No need for that rabbit hole. Just follow the above. Note, this behavior 
is described in the Help manual and as Stan noted, there is also an FAQ

you're just going to discover what I've described above and is already

You may want to bookmark the FAQ list:

"4.22   Q: How do I resize my register columns? Why can I not shrink the
description column?" is the one you want in this instance.

Column widths are stored in the file {your data file name}.gcm.

OK, I am totally confused. How do I make a column to the right of the
Description wider *without* draging the right handle of the Description column
to the left? I don't want to *shrink* the columns to the right of the
Description, I want to make one of them wider. How does one do that without
shrinking the Description column? Where does the space come from? How does one
add space? What is happening is that there is some total window width W, which
is the sum of widths of all of the columns (plus the margin space). If one
wants to make some column Cx wider, some other collumn Cy needs to shrink, but
this is impossible if the only column that is "shrinkable" (Cy) is the
Description column. I can make columns to the *left* of the Description wider
or narrower, but not the columns to the right of the Description. Any attempt
to make any of them wider ends up making them all narrower until eventually
one (or more) of them end up with a width of 0. As far as I am concerned, this
is a bug (and a serious one at that). This makes no sense.

I have the source code and will go hunting...

I can't speak to your chosen solution, but to do this with a Credit Note:

1. Raise the Credit Note, assigning the line items to their proper 
Expense accounts. This will result in Credit entries (right column) in 
those affected Expense accounts, where normally Expenses are 
Debits(left column)


2. Post it to A/P. This will result in a Debit entry (left column) in 
the A/P account, where normally, you see Credit entries (right column).


e.g., a typical posted Credit Note from a Vendor will result in:

Dr. Liabilities:Accounts Payable
  Cr. Expenses:stuff

3. 'Pay' the Credit Note with your Credit Card account. This is the 
transaction which is the actual refund to your card. If you have 
already entered this refund manually, simply right-click it and 
'Assign as Payment' searching for the Vendor and selecting the Credit 
Note to clear it. This will result in a Credit entry (right column) in 
the A/P account, with a Debit entry (left column) in the Credit Card 
account.


e.g., a typical refund on a Credit Card against a Vendor Credit Note 
will result in:


Dr. Liabilities:Credit Card
  Cr. Liabilities:Accounts Payable


I personally only use Debit/Credit labels because I find them 
consistent and easier to understand than the various 'slang' 
terminology of the informal labels. (which don't always make sense in 
every situation) Regardless of the terms used for the column headings, 
the left/right nature does not change. (hence why I specified which 
they should be)

Re: [GNC] Business: return of goods to vendor with refund to credit card

[Adrien Monteleone]

I can't speak to your chosen solution, but to do this with a Credit Note:

1. Raise the Credit Note, assigning the line items to their proper 
Expense accounts. This will result in Credit entries (right column) in 
those affected Expense accounts, where normally Expenses are Debits(left 
column)


2. Post it to A/P. This will result in a Debit entry (left column) in 
the A/P account, where normally, you see Credit entries (right column).


e.g., a typical posted Credit Note from a Vendor will result in:

Dr. Liabilities:Accounts Payable
  Cr. Expenses:stuff

3. 'Pay' the Credit Note with your Credit Card account. This is the 
transaction which is the actual refund to your card. If you have already 
entered this refund manually, simply right-click it and 'Assign as 
Payment' searching for the Vendor and selecting the Credit Note to clear 
it. This will result in a Credit entry (right column) in the A/P 
account, with a Debit entry (left column) in the Credit Card account.


e.g., a typical refund on a Credit Card against a Vendor Credit Note 
will result in:


Dr. Liabilities:Credit Card
  Cr. Liabilities:Accounts Payable


I personally only use Debit/Credit labels because I find them consistent 
and easier to understand than the various 'slang' terminology of the 
informal labels. (which don't always make sense in every situation) 
Regardless of the terms used for the column headings, the left/right 
nature does not change. (hence why I specified which they should be)

Adrien

Re: [GNC] UI Problem with 4.14

[Adrien Monteleone]

The Description column always fills the remaining width of the window.

You adjust the other columns to your liking, then reduce the window 
width to shrink the Description column. Otherwise, you can after setting 
the other columns, drag the right handle of the Description column to 
the left and let it bounce back to fill the remaining space.


If you still find Description longer than you want, and you don't want 
to narrow the width of the window, adjust the other columns accordingly. 
I usually adjust the Account column wider in such cases.


This is nothing new in 4.14, GnuCash has worked this way for many many 
years.

Adrien

Michael,

 That file A was already saved and it was loading file B is indicated by the 
lock file being on file B. 

I think you got enough in your extract to show me what was going on when it 
crashed. It's loading everything from file_B.gcm 
(gnc_main_window_restore_all_windows) and gnc_plugin_page_register_ui_update 
got called on the run of the event loop that was meant to update the cursor.

Figuring out anything past that will take more work, so please open a bug with 
the crash report attached so that it doesn't get lost.

John Ralls

[GNC] Extract from Crash Report

[Michael Hendry]

I had entered a few transactions in one of my Gnucash files (File “A”) around 
12:30 (GMT), and left the computer for a few hours. I came back to it around 
16:15, and after watching a Youtube video and checking my email, I went back to 
Gnucash and (assuming the autosave would have cleared the way) I used the File 
menu to open a different Gnucash file (File “B”).

I was asked if I wanted to save the current file, and said yes, I was prompted 
again and I believe I’d accepted the offer to save before the crash.

As expected after the crash, the next time I ran Gnucash I was warned about the 
lock on file “B”. I opted to open it anyway, and it appears at first glance to 
be undamaged. 

This time, I’ve saved the whole crash report, but I’m only including a small 
portion of it for expert advice on whether ithe full report would be useful.

If so, where should I send it?

Re: [GNC] Advise me please: go up to 5.4.2 or stay at 4.13?

[R Losey]

I had thought you were on a Mac, so I was surprised.

The problem was caught and fixed pretty quickly, but I think I'll just wait
for 5.5, too. The only real problem I'm having is that when the
"transaction matching" feature was added (which I find pretty helpful), the
ability to match previous Notes entries went away, and I really liked that
feature. I'm hoping it returns in 5.5.

Gyle,


Thank you for that info. I'll check in Task Manager.


Ohhh! I have Windows running in Parallels on my Mac, so I was

It does not: I'm running GnuCash on the Mac side! So I'm OK, I guess.


Thanks!

Re: [GNC] Selling an unpaid invoice to another business at face value?

[Michael or Penny Novack]

On 12/6/2023 8:40 PM, Adrien Monteleone via gnucash-user wrote:

The amount owed stays in AR.

Who owes it is what changes.


Look, this isn't really about gnucash. And selling of A/R is far from 
unusual. But a list helping people use gnucash isn't the place to 
discuss "factoring" from scratch. But I will say this much.


If a business sells some or all of its A/R then it should be obvious 
that for THAT business those amounts no longer receivable but already 
received. Those become the business of the factor to collect. The factor 
would need to have the invoices.


I assume we are NOT talking about the unusual situation where you are 
keeping the books for both the first business and the second (separate 
entities, separate books).


Michael D Novack

PS --- In addition to sale to a factor, we also can have sale of "bad 
debt" to a collection agency. Again, once sold no longer receivables of 
the business.

Nah. There are 3: CompanyA (that is owed and wants to sell), CompanyB (that

So for my examples Entity-A is CompanyD and Entity-B is CompanyB.

You are CompanyA I believe.

Invoice-A is invoiceX.

Invoice-B is invoiceY.

This stapling generates invoiceZ which is now (re-)issued to CompanyD.

InvoiceZ would be as it now represents what CompanyD owes to CompanyB. It also
references invoiceX as the original invoice (this would be the stapling).

Does my clarification above clarify my procedure below and help now? :)

CompanyA's AR is fulfilled by CompanyB.
CompanyB now gets an entry (invoiceZ) in its AR to be fulfilled by CompanyD.

Just realised that invoiceX is still in CompanyA's AR. Not sure how to
appropriately deal with it and it's well past midnight so I don't think
I will come up with something right now. :)

I may also be overthinking it without realising cos it's well past midnight. :)

I think people are (rightfully) worried about the legal angle. Me too
somewhat but I believe it is understood that I'm only giving ideas on
how to use software in a vacuum and that you realise that it's down to
you to figure out if what I am saying is legal, correct and proper in
your corner of the planet.

Hence my line about being a noob, etc. :)

Ooops. CompanyA not CompanyY.

Re: [GNC] Advise me please: go up to 5.4.2 or stay at 4.13?

[Eric Chapman]

Thanks, R Losey, for chiming in. I did not know 5.4 was leaving 
processes running in Windows, so I guess the cure is to close it 
periodically?


I'll stay on 5.4 for now – so far no problems that I've noticed.

I generally stay up to date, but with the original 5.4 release leaving
processes running in Windows, I've stayed at 5.3. I fully expect to move to
5.5 when it comes out (I usually also monitor this list for a while to see
if there are any unpleasant bugs in the new release before I update).
