Re: [GNC] Should GNUCash allow a split to reference the same account twice
Yes, I use this feature a lot when purchasing bonds in bond market. In my case, first I deposit money say 2500 with broker, then I buy bonds say worth 2100 (21 bonds worth 100 each) and by end of the day I get 400 back in my bank. This I note down (simplify) as a single transaction with 3 splits: Foo bank - Debit 2500 Bond (as stock) - Credit 21 units worth 100 each Foo bank - Credit 400 Please do not disable this feature. Thanks and regards. Amish On 20/07/23 23:16, Henry Law wrote: Should GNUCash refuse to allow a transaction to have two splits into the same account?

Re: [GNC] Notes (few other) fields should be editable even after posting invoice
Hi, Thank you very much for merging the PR. On a side note, any idea why the following is being done? Source: gnucash/gnome/dialog-invoice.c 1921: gtk_widget_set_sensitive (iw->id_entry, FALSE); /* XXX: why set FALSE and then TRUE? */ 1922: gtk_widget_set_sensitive (iw->id_entry, TRUE); It is first set to FALSE and then set to TRUE? (I had put XXX note in my PR) Also may be you can change a note on line like this: - 1919: /* Setup viewer for read-only access*/ + 1919: /* Setup viewer for read-only access.

[GNC] Imbalance bug in credit note generation?
Hello I am trying to create a credit note for a customer, in exact same way as Invoice except that type chosen is "Credit note". But after posting the "credit note", Gnucash is "increasing" receivables instead of decreasing. It also increases "tax liability" - it should actually decrease it. But it correctly "reduces" the Income. Effectively this creates an "imbalance" entry too - because internally the total does not balance. Please find more details and screen shots in the following bug report (filed 2 days back) https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796766 I am posting here for two reasons: 1) To know if I am using "Credit note" incorrectly (which I doubt) 2) To highlight the bug (if it is indeed a bug) because it is a serious "accounting" bug and probably needs addressing on priority. So please check.

Now I can still Alt-tab but that small window will remain on top of the Main window covering major part of Main window. Every time I am forced to minimize small window to see Full contents of Main window. Can we make it like older version? Where small windows simply go behind Main window on Alt-tab.

Re: [GNC] future of custom reports in 3.x
I wonder the same too. Although new reports are enough for me now.
But I had to delete lots of old custom reports because they no more
worked (or compiled)
But in future I may want to have my own custom reports.
I wish there was GnuCash library with we could simply call
Gnc_LoadFile("path") and then we could also do all the magical things
that GnuCash does!

saved searches (for invoice / bill / transaction searches)?
Hello Is there an easy way to save some regularly used searches? I have certain types of searches which I perform every week. It can be combination of many things - Customer name, date (within certain range), notes etc. If we can have "saved search" features - similar to "saved reports" feature, it would be great help.

Re: Finally ready to move from Windoze to Unix, suggestions of flavor of Unix to use
Hello Try Arch Linux if you are willing to put initial efforts in learning and a bit of tweaking here and there. It has r8168 drivers too. (as a separate package which you can install easily) Plus rolling release model which means you will always have up-to-date system. Once you get hold of it, its very easy to maintain. Arch used to support Gnucash but due to webkit related security issues it stopped releasing Gnucash officially. However there is archlinuxcn repository which is well maintained so its very easy to install Gnucash from there. Arch also has DVD / USB live media with which you can test if your internet is working with it.

Reason being - my use case for GST is only a subset of what Amish laid out. Even if we attempt to put Amish's comprehensive setup as a template, it cannot be used by all GST users in India. What we have posted is only one aspect of GST in India, mainly covering GSTR-3B and GSTR-1/2 components of the return. Then there are other aspects such as - - composition dealers - e-way bills (launched recently) - export related services and such… Yes but there are many more normal GST dealers than GST composition dealers. For composition dealers I guess there will be even less accounts. So they can use template and remove unwanted accounts. E-way bill - not sure if that would be part of Gnucash anyway. User can put a note in Invoice stating e-way bill number Export services - I have no idea about their returns but that should not stop us from creating normal templates which can become a starting point.

Re: Instructions for GST India
On Tuesday 06 February 2018 05:37 PM, Deva - wrote: I can concur with Amish’s setup for GST India, but with a few minor observations. I have a similar setup, though not as elaborate as Amish’s. This is largely due to the fact that I don’t claim GST input tax credit for purchases (my tax credits are negligible compared to what I pay as GST). Also, I have to deal with only 1 tax rate of 18%, but that does involve setting up of 3 tax tables like Amish pointed out - CGST @ 9%, SGST @ 9% and IGST @ 18%. Thanks and yes - you are lucky to have just one tax rate!! :) My few observations - a. Not sure if you need 2 A/R accounts. Since these accounts are not directly used in reports, just having one should do (sub-accounts for GST and NonGST can be merged into the parent). These are required for verifying total in GSTR 1 return. Also GSTR 1 asks for total AR (sale) plus AR of (sale to) Interstate Non-GST dealers. Hence atleast in my case they are required. b. You may find it more helpful by actually putting the tax rate in the tax account name itself. For instance, "Liabilities:Sales:GST:IGST @ 18%” as the account name, instead of "Liabilities:Sales:GST:IGST”. While this will not make a difference if you are using Tax Invoice report, it will show up nicely in case of a Printable Report or Fancy Invoice report because the tax line will read IGST @ 18% (instead of just IGST). I generate printable invoice in Libreoffice Calc (Linux's Excel). But yes your idea is nice. c. I haven’t segregated the NonGST vs. GST (registered vs. unregistered dealers), though I can see the benefit given GST reporting requirements. However, I think with the new transaction report that was posted on this list sometime back (by Doug, I think), one can easily generate summaries based on descriptions in the transaction registers. So if you are diligent about tagging your transactions with proper notes/memos, etc. then you can always generate summaries based on those with the new transaction report to meet the GST reporting requirements. Adding notes / memos require additional care. One spelling mistake and your transaction will not show up in report. I think if you are dealing with large volumes of GST related transactions, Amish’s setup is the way to go, though it may seem a bit tedious to set it up in the beginning. My GST invoices are to the tune of about 100 invoices a year, so I have cut down on my account hierarchy to keep it simple. Yes my setup can be scaled down but depends on the individual's choice and requirement. And yes, it can certainly go on the wiki for those looking for help. I wish I had something like that to guide me when I was doing the same, but with trial and error, I got to what I wanted. I am sure all of us continue to remain indebted to GnuCash to help keep our financial matters in order despite the chaotic rollout of GST that India witnessed not so long ago. Indeed chaotic! And yes Gnucash saved me from purchasing expensive software.

Re: Instructions for GST India
tedious but its just one time thing. Once done then everything becomes very easy. Now the actual usage of these accounts and tables: Whenever you create Invoice / Bill - based on customer / vendor select the right Income / expense account (from stage 1) and right Tax table (from stage 2). And when you post invoice / bill - select the right Asset / Liability account (again from stage 1) i.e. GST or NonGST accounts based on type of customer / vendor and GST / IGST / NonGST tax table based on customer/vendor and the tax percentage. Stage 4: (Report Generation) --- For report generation - you can use transaction report and customize it as per your requirement. Save the customized report so that you do not need to customize it every time. I have created 4 types of customized transaction report 1) GST-Sale-Tax Report start date - start of previous month (or quarter) end date - end of previous month (or quarter) Primary key - Account name Secondary key - Date Seconday subtotal - None Accounts selected - Liabilities:Sales (and all subaccounts) Account filtered by - Income:Sales (and all subaccounts) Filter type - Include transaction to/from filter accounts This will give you previous months tax details (for sales) useful for GSTR3B return Similarly you can create reports for GST-Sale-Total, GST-Purchase-Tax, GST-Purchase-Total. You need to tinker a bit here and there (mostly by selecting the right accounts) And then save all reports and you are all set for GST India! (GSTR1/2/3B) Stage 5: (Set off) --- Once you file GSTR3B return - do same set off (as you did in GSRT3B) from Tax Assets / Liabilities accounts created in stage 1. Overall just be careful while data entry at stage 3 and stage 5 and everything should be perfect and ready. So thats all, hope it was useful.

Re: Close Book regression
Yes i had noticed the same too. What i did is moved 1 or 2 transactions which fall on closing date to one day earlier.

But now, it seems these closure date transactions are not included anymore, leaving accounts with non-zero balances. Steps to reproduce (on a new file with the default common accounts, no transactions): 1) create a transaction in Expenses:Supplies on 2017-09-29 for the purchase of goods for 1,000 (credit to Cash in Wallet) 2) create a transaction in Expenses:Supplies on 2017-09-30 for the purchase of goods for 200 (credit to Cash in Wallet) 3) use the Close Book tool with: - Closing date: 2017-09-30 - Income total: Equity:Opening Balances - Expenses total: Equity:Opening Balances - Description: Closing Entries Current behavior: The Expenses:Supplies account shows a balance of 200 Expected behavior: The Expenses:Supplies account shows a balance of 0 Workaround: a temporary workaround is to run the Close Book tool using "date + 1", then manually edit the two closing transactions and move them back 1 day.

Thanks and regards, Amish Hi Amish, Whilst I don't ignore the stupid rules that tax authorities around the world dream up, I don't understand how summing the quantities of line items on an invoice is in any way useful. E.g. your customer buys 1 bulk box containing 10 widgets (line 1 - and costing less than 10 individual widgets) and 3 sprockets (line 2). you list those on the invoice as quantities 1 and 3. What use is the number 4? your customer has 13 discrete items... I completely can see that the line item quantity numbers should be shown on the invoice, and a government could mandate that. If they really do want a "total quantity" shown at the bottom of the invoice, then that would be the GC invoice template that needs a mod, not the register window? 0.02 Maf. I agree if units are different then quantity makes no sense. But in my case its always "PCS" (pieces) so it should help a bit. Also we dont have to print quantity on Invoice but every month we have to file tax return which mentions HSN code of item and number of pieces sold. I know its crazy but then who can say anything to Government? I will try to see if I can learn report templates. Thanks all for replies.

Re: Customized saved-reports file per gnucash file (i.e. per company)

Easiest workaround would be that I have two saved-reports stored in .gnucash directory. say saved-reports-companyA and saved-reports-companyB Before starting gnucash for a company I copy saved-reports-companyX to saved-reports-2.4 This can be done with 2 line script (say gccompany): #no error checking done cp ~/.gnucash/saved-reports-$1 ~/.gnucash/saved-report-2.4 exec gnucash /path/to/$1.gnucash Then instead of calling "gnucash companyA.gnucash" I call "gccompany companyA" That way I dont have to maintain 2 Linux accounts and 2 different settings directory.

I've dealt with this by calling the reports CompanyA-Foo and CompanyB-Foo Although, I must say that I think the report saved accounts by name, not ID, so one report could be used as the basis for the second company, with only a little tweaking. Maf. I know thats how I have done it right now. But I am from India where recently GST taxatio was introduced. I have managed to configure Gnucash for the same. For GST return filing Government needs many types of reporting every month. Report for 3 types of taxes (IGST/CGST/SGST) Report for trade payable (purchase+tax) Report for trade receivable (sale+tax) Report for taxable sales Report for taxable purchase Then there are reports for sale/purchase to/from GST dealers And then same reports for dealers not registered under GST As you can see there are almost 11-12 types of reports that we have provide to Government at end of every month Now if I create customized reports I will have: CompanyA-Sale, CompanyA-Purchase, ... 11-12 reports same way 11-12 reports for company B I have 2 more companies which I have still not migrated to GST So you can see the report list will be too long when I open "Saved report configuration" That is why I was asking if it is possible to have: 1) saved-reports per company 2) OR saved-reports storing FULL account name - for example Assets:Purchase:IGST insted of account ID. I believe 2nd option would be much better as then we dont need to create separate reports for each company. Infact both 1 and 2 can be implemened, if possible that would allow to store reports in a better way and also make them REUSABLE.
