Re: [GNC] Printing checks to a pdf file

2019-10-07 Thread Ronal B Morse

Isn't that a system function?
I'm on Linux (Ubuntu 19.10) and when printing checks the option to
select "print to file" appears on the printer selection menu along with
the other printers configured for the system.  Selecting "print to
file" then opens another dialog where I can specify output as .pdf or
postrcript and the output filename and destination directory.

Re: [GNC] Can not insert text on transaction after import QIF

2019-09-26 Thread Ronal B Morse

I've experienced 3.7 crashing to the desktop when attempting to insert
text into a journal transaction, no .csv imports involved. 
But, I'm running Ubuntu 19.10 (pre-beta) and got 3.7 from the
sicklylife.ppa. Too many variables there to draw meaningful
conclusions. 
The crashes weren't consistent, but more importantly,  haven't happened
for a couple of Eoan update cycles so I wrote them off as development
issues and quit worrying about it.  In light of David's report I'll
keep a closer eye on it and if it happens again try to harvest some
useful troubleshooting data.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash doesn't load American Express QFX files

2019-09-07 Thread Ronal B Morse

Maybe what I do is a little different.

After logging in to Amex and navigating to the Statements and Activity 
Page, I click on the green download icon from the pages toolbar and 
select card activity from that drop down.

A new paged opens automatically and on that page I select "Quicken" from 
the options in the left pane then scroll down the page to find the date 
range selection section in the right pane. Today I clicked on the 
"Individual statements available to download" radio button then selected 
checked "Aug 15 to Present" since I downloaded about a week ago.

Clicking on the blue "download" button results in a file named ofx.qfx 
in my downloads folder and that is the file I inport into Gnucash.

Hope this helps

With GnuCash 3.6 I was able to import from CSV.  That's a hassle, but 
the import page is much better than was on Gnucash 2.6, so kudos to

That's because that's the only template that's been contributed for India. 
Temporarily set your locale to one of the more fully populated countries--perhaps 
en_GB or en_AU--to create your new book. If you need the Indian GST accounts as

What Adrian said.  Once you understand this, then
reconciliation will make perfect sense, and you will never,
ever press the "balance" button (where that extra transaction
you don't want came from) again.

I have seen the same behavior when importing transactions
from both AMEX and my Credit Union (checking and credit card)
accounts. 

Chase accounts always seem to work perfectly. 

I can usually get the missing transactions by importing the
same download a second time. 

I've thought this to be odd behavior, but was never
sufficiently motivated to further delve into it.

Re: [GNC] GnC 3.5 for Disco

2019-05-04 Thread Ronal B Morse


Eric, looks like the old version didn't cleanup properly.

Here's an alternative installation method...it's what I used to install 
3.5 this morning.


Follow the instructions to remove version 3.4, paying attention to the 
instruction to run


sudo apt autoremove

after removing the three main packages.

The autoremove will take care of the large number of files apt reports 
are no longer required when you remove the other packages. They must be 
removed from the system. Version 3.5 of Gnucash will install new 
versions of most of those files and simply replace the ones that don't 
change.


apt should report no errors after the autoremove operation.

When the cleanup of the old version is done, navigate to the directory 
where you downloaded and uncompressed the archive holding the three 
packages for version 3.5.


Starting with Gnucash-common_3.5_all.deb (this one must go first) double 
click on the .deb to start the dpkg installer. Click on the install 
button and enter your user password when prompted.  The process should 
complete with no reported errors and the install button will be replaced 
with a remove button. If you see a warning that no repository is 
associated with the package, it is not an error. Ignore it.


Repeat for the gnucash_3.5_amd64.deb and python3-gnucash_3.5_amd64.deb 
packages.


If no errors are reported, Gnucash 3.5 is properly installed.

Although I???m about to relate some problems I???ve had with your 
GnuCash 3.5 on Ubuntu 19.04 before I do I want to say that I appreciate 
your efforts (and those of your ???hand holders???!) on providing tools 
to the community. Sincerely, thank you.


My situation is that I upgraded to 19.04 just two or three weeks ago and 
I don???t think I???ve done anything of such significance as to screw up 
the system. I was running GnuCash 3.4 (the default in 19.04) but hit 
problems (discussed elsewhere). Your solution seemed to be a gift from 
heaven.


The first two Terminal commands (which with the third, I think, need to 
be run in the Downloads/gnucash_3.5 folder) ran with no problems but the 
third gave the following output:

Re: [GNC] Version on Ubuntu 19.04

2019-04-28 Thread Ronal B Morse

That's the snap version.  It should be regarded as "experimental" as 
well as kinda old. Snap is a new idea that shows great promise, but 
right now it's a work in progress and it's not clear if or how snap 
installations of third-party software like Gnucash will be maintained 
(upgraded) or who, exactly, will be responsible.  I'd avoid it, for now.


You can install gnucash using Synaptic (if you have that installed) or 
from a terminal command prompt using the "apt" utility.  The apt command 
will be:


sudo apt install gnucash-common gnucash python3-gnucash gnucash-docs

It will ask you to enter your password. As of today it will install 
version 3.41.


If you're adventurous you can install version 3.5x by building it 
directly from the source code. There are excellent step by step 
instructions on the Gnucash Wiki Page and as much help as you'll ever 
need right here on this list.

In the default snap repository (snapcraft.io) there's a snap of GnuCash

Similarly, I see someone's github with an AppImage generation script for

GnuCash... but none yet listed on the AppImage "app store."


I'm hopeful eventually one or more of the image formats will be packaged

"officially" and updates pushed out automatically. I am sure a lot of folks
would appreciate it.

John,

Thanks for your help and patience!

I did just that and updated Net::HTTP, as well as LWP, Date::Manip and
Finance::Quote again. All of them are confirmed up to date now.

But calling …/stockdump.pl still yields an "internal server error” 500:

Brunos-MacBook-Pro:~ backlin$
~/.cpan/build/Finance-Quote-1.47-FVw_VE/Examples/stockdump.pl yahoo_json aapl
$VAR1 = {
'aaplsymbol' => 'aapl',
'aaplsuccess' => 0,
'aaplerrormsg' => 'Error retrieving quote for aapl. Attempt to fetch
the URL https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?symbols=aapl resulted in
HTTP response 500 (Internal Server Error)'
};

Why is stockdump.pl misinterpreting the parameters and prepending apple to
‘symbol’ and ‘success’ and 'error msg’?

Still, calling the very URL in the error message using curl works instantly:
Brunos-MacBook-Pro:~ backlin$ curl
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?symbols=aapl
{"quoteResponse":{"result":[{"language":"en-US","region":"US","quoteType":"EQUITY","quoteSourceName":"Nasdaq Real Time
Price","currency":"USD","fullExchangeName":"NasdaqGS","longName":"Apple ..

Could Perl address another "internal server” which times out? A DNS issue?
Do you have any other suggestions to try, or can point out the program
hierarchy to trace these calls?
(Again reminding that I have this problem on two independent installations, and
it appeared overnight, while gnucash on Desktop, and Perl Terminal window on
Laptop were open and running.)

Thanks, Bruno

Re: [GNC] Announcement: Rebuild of the GnuCash 3.5 Windows Bundle

I don't know nuttin' 'bout no AIO Bundle or bugzillas or anything like
that, but I sure as hell am grateful for the effort and time you and the
other developers and contributors put into making GnuCash consistently
better. The frequent contributors to this mailing list, too. Kudos to

Re: [GNC] Error While Saving in GnuCash 3.5 on Win7-64

2019-04-04 Thread Ronal B Morse

This probably doesn't have anything to do with your issue, but I've 
never been a fan of spaces in paths/filenames.  Back in the olde days it 
wasn't allowed. I gather that's changed, but it still strikes me as bad 
juju.


I'm a Linux guy and even though I guess we can use spaces we have to 
delimit them in quote marks, so it's just easier to forgo the space or 
use an underscore character as a separator instead.


Windows should be able to handle file path statements of 247 (or 
thereabouts) characters. I don't thing the length of the string is the 
problem.

I've been using 2.6.x for a few years, and never had trouble saving to

"You attempted to save in "can't be displayed" or a subdirectory thereof.
This is not allowed as GnuCash reserves that director for internal use.

Here's a link to a screen shot of the error message:

Note that where I wrote "can't be displayed" is actually a strange

like when an emoji can't be displayed.  See the screen shot.

It appears when the error message was generated, the file path couldn't

be

parsed.  This makes me think GnuCash isn't capable of parsing the save to
path.  I suspect it's a path length issue.  I tried shorter paths and it
worked.  FSR, the new GnuCash seem like it can't save to the same length
path that the old series was capable of.

Sorry if this is already a known issue

Re: [GNC] Problems Accessing GnuCash Files on my D:\

2019-03-08 Thread Ronal B Morse

Could this be an ACL (access control list) related? 

Linux doesn't use them (nor does the Mac, as far as I know)
but Windows does and from what I understand a broken or
incorrect ACL config could cause this kind of behavior. 

Totally clueless about how to check or what to do, but since
no one mentioned the possibility...

Re: [GNC] Almost ready to give up

2019-01-23 Thread Ronal B Morse

Michael, I feel your pain.  I miss Quicken's "one click
import" feature, too. I blame Intuit...they kept getting the
banks to mess around with the authentication process and data
formats, plus their lack of documentation and pointed desire
to not help developers of other applications made things
worse then they had to be. 

That said, if you don't mind a few extra steps and a (very)
few minutes of clicking around the screen, here's the method
I use to download and enter transactions from my Chase credit
cards and checking account to Gnucash. 

1. Open the Chase web site, log in with your usual user
credentials and navigate to the activity page of the account
you want to process.  About halfway down the page there will
be a menu bar with some icons...the "download activity" icon
(looks like a down arrow pointing at an in basket) will be
near the far right. Clicking on the icon will open a dialog
where you specify the date range and file type.  I always use
the ofx/qfx format because it seems most reliable. Click
download to save your transactions and note the file name and
location where it is saved.  

Repeat as desired for other Chase accounts, making sure you
have a unique name for each transaction download. Chase does
this automagically now, but that wasn't always the case. 
Some institutions just give you a "transaction.ofx" file name
for every account.  

When finished, log out of the Chase web site and close the
browser for security's sake. 

Start GnuCash, open the account register for the first
account you want to process.  Click on  then .
Select the file type (in my case it's ofx/Qfx) then select
the file you downloaded for that account from the navigator.
Click "import".

That opens the transaction matching window. The options are
described in detail in the GnuCash documentation. For me, the
automatcher gets most of the transactions correct and I just
have to check the appropriate box for the ones it does not
match. 

Repeat for other accounts as appropriate. Done. 

This method is certainly not as convenient as a one click
download like Quicken does, but at least it works and is
reliable and consistent.  I use it with Chase, Bank of
America (checking and credit card), wife's Target Bank Credit
Card, USAA (checking, credit card) and my Charles Schawb cash
sweep checking account.   

I don't use Gnucash to track investment portfolio activity,
so I can't help with that. Every time I get interested in
sciencing out a solution for the potfolio I decide Chuck's
Schawb's web portal already tells me more than I want to know
(lately, anyway) and it is their problem to maintain it.

Re: [GNC] Can no longer print checks

2018-12-02 Thread Ronal B Morse

Thank you.  I don't have a solution, but I can tell you I have experienced the
same problem with Windows, except in my case the application was "NannyPay2",
which is a front end for FileMakerPro. In that case the print dialog would not
accept any input into the page range settings and that led to no output. 

All other applications could print normally. Other NannyPay2/FilemakerPro
users did not report the issue. 

I have a HP CP2025DN printer.  There were two work-arounds: either print
documents to .pdf format (print to file) then print the resulting .pdf file
from another application, or change the printer driver from the preferred HP
Postscript for Color LaserJet driver to a PCL3 printer control language
driver. 

Curiously, a third driver using the PCL6 printer control language (also
compatible with my hardware) produced the same symptoms as the Postscript
driver. 

I hope someone can find a solution for you.

Re: [GNC] Can no longer print checks

2018-12-02 Thread Ronal B Morse

Sidman, can you manually enter a value/select an option from the 
now blank "page range" setting?  There should be options for
"all" and "range" with a dialog box, and "current page" or similar.

Off topic so I'll keep it short, but Linux Mint uses a
utility called "Timeshift" for this purpose.  You can
install it into Ubuntu from a .ppa repo. Google search will
take you there.  

I've used Timeshift and recommend it.

I have no idea, David.  I wasted tons of time trying to

figured out what I was doing wrong so I'm the wrong guy to
ask. 

Shussing out the .ppa was a couple of clicks and the backups
are normal maintenance.

Re: [GNC] Ubuntu PPA

2018-10-04 Thread Ronal B Morse

It's a fair question, but when you're desperate...

I looked at his page (?) on Canonical's launchpad site and
saw that's he's been registered for almost two years. He has
been active (or at least involved) with several different
packages, mostly Japanese language related issues. Not a lot
of information about him, but it provides links to his blog
and website and all that looks legit. It's something. He
recommends GnuCash. 

He's signed Ubuntu's code of conduct, so he must be a good
guy, right? 

As is my usual practice when installing software from
outside distro repositories, I made a full image backup of
the system and other local partitions (clonezilla) and
isolated the target machine from the local LAN before 
installing and during initial testing. I probably should not
have used a copy of my live data file...I'll remember to use
a dummy in the future.   

Still, it's a good question. Others who are tempted to try
this might consider giving time for early adopters to soak
up any arrows this thing may launch and monitor the usual
places for problem reports.

GNC 3.2 on Fedora 28 -- changing the num field will cause the

Changing the Num field in 2.6.19 does not un-reconcile the transaction.  I
believe that only if the amount is changed will it be un-reconciled.

Concerning the warning dialog you either told it not to warn you for the
session, or forever. If closing and restarting GnuCash doesn’t bring back
the warning, check the Actions > Reset Warnings dialog and you’ll see it
there. You can check the box for it and Apply and it will show next time
you edit a reconciled transaction.

that the all the transactions which had numbers added to their NUM field
also had their reconciliation flag moved from n to y. I imagine this

If it is now y then they are still reconciled, or do you mean they

changed from y to n?

Re: [GNC] Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya and Gnucash 3.2

Fedora 28 picked up 3.2 about a week after it was announced...I was

installing from source, but a kindly developer beat me to it.

As an aside, Debian, Mint and Ubuntu folks haven't been keeping 
gnucash available in an up to date form for some time.  When I looked 
around I was surprised to find it is available in other distributions, 
at least the arch linux-related distros.  I have been using 3.2 on 
Archlabs where 3.1 was updated to 3.2 about a week after the

Well close. It gets installed under /usr which is generally used by package
managers. Parts of gnucash will end up in different subdirectories of /usr,
like /usr/bin/gnucash for the program itself, /usr/lib for shared libraries, /
usr/lib/gnucash/ for libraries intended to be used by gnucash internally only,
/usr/share/gnucash/ for various data files and so on.

Thanks for your appreciation by the way :)

/usr/local - this location is commonly used for versions distributed
with linux distributions and is the default option. If installed here
the program will be available to all users on the system. If you use
this folder, use it with caution as installing from the distribution

I do not believe that is correct.  The distribution will not generally
install into /usr/local and in fact, at least on Ubuntu, this is a
common place to put home built stuff.  Applications installed there
will not get overwritten by applications installed using apt-get.

Shall I go ahead and change that?

Also I think the title could be improved to indicate that it is for
anything after Ubuntu 16.04. I know it says that in the text but the
title is confusing I think.

Re: [GNC] Reconcile Problem

2018-06-07 Thread Ronal B Morse


Hi Gareth.  Welcome to the list.

With the account register open, click on the "view" item in the menu 
bar, then in the dialog that opens click on "filter by". Then click on 
"status" in that menu bar which opens a selection dialog. Clear the 
checks from all but "Reconciled". Then click on OK.


Putting a check in the "save filter" box will make the selection 
persistent from session to session, otherwise the filter will revert to 
the default (all categories selected) the next time you open the account 
register.


You'll have to set the filter for each account register individually.

Re: [GNC] Snap Package Manager

2018-04-16 Thread Ronal B Morse

I have very limited experience with SNAP on Ubuntu.  It's been generally 
good, but not completely problem free. I have thought about trying to 
create a SNAP for GnuCash 3.0, but first I'll have to get it to build 
cleanly in the native environment, something has so far eluded me.


As I understand it, applications installed as a SNAP package are 
self-contained and sandboxed.  So, in theory, a SNAP of GnuCash should 
install alongside an existing version from repository and never the 
'twain shall meet.


In reality -- I don't know.  But I know one way to find out...

Backups, I think would be the order of the day if anyone is going to 
pursue this.

Recently, I was reading the Linux Mint blog which mentioned a new

manager containing all dependencies.  I checked Synaptic and found Snapd
and installed it

I used Snapd to install a new (to me) web browser called Brave.  After
the installation completed, I went to applications but there was no
listing for Brave.  Not what I expected, but no big deal.

I then did a listing of Snap packages and found Gnucash 2.6.21 listed.

Assuming I try to install GC using Snap, would I need to uninstall GC
2.6.17 first?

Does anyone have experience with Snap?

Re: [GNC] Include unused accounts in budgets, and behaviour of placeholder accounts in budgets

2018-04-13 Thread Ronal B Morse


for the first question try:

view > filter by > other

then put a check mark in the "show zero total accounts" box.

Not sure on the second, but the fix may be as simple as reassigning the 
transaction to the correct expense account, i.e., something like 
ex:food:dining:drinks.  You should also be able to delete the errant 
transaction in the "dining" placeholder and re-enter it, again assigning 
the transaction to the proper inflow and outflow accounts.

Taxes > Property tax, and so, it isn't listed in the Budget. However, I'm
moving to a new place now, and will start paying the council tax now, so
I'd like to include it in the budget.

I've a query regarding placeholder accounts in the budget view too. My
"dining" account has two sub accounts: "drinks", and "food", for
example. Dining is a "placeholder" account and the values associated
with it show in light grey colour in the budget view. When I'd entered
my budgets for "food" and "drink", the total dining budget was the total
sum, as expected. However, I clicked on the value for "Dining", by
mistake, and the editable text box showed up, and now it's become an
editable field in black. The value is no longer updated as the sum of
"food" and "drinks". Is there some way to revert it to the original "sum
of all sub accounts" behaviour?

Re: GNUcash setup

2018-03-18 Thread Ronal B Morse

Have you looked at using the log files to duplicate transactions from 
one session into another?


Each gnucash session produces a log of the transactions for that session 
(those are the files with the extension .log that you see clogging up 
your data directory. The name of the log file contains the date and time 
it was created.


The file menu has an entry to "import transactions from .log file"

I haven't tried it, but it may be possible for you to open GnuCash and 
make you entries into one data file, close that data file, open a second 
data file and import the transactions from the earlier session.


Worth trying.  Usual warnings about backing up critical data and all that.

Re: Finally ready to move from Windoze to Unix, suggestions of flavor of Unix to use

2018-03-15 Thread Ronal B Morse


Another vote for Linux Mint.

I don't use it as my distribution of choice, but I maintain a number of 
installations for others and find Mint to be the most user-friendly and 
difficult to break of the more widely used flavors of Linux.


It's been a while since I encountered hardware that Mint does not 
support, too.

Re: variable scheduled date

2018-02-26 Thread Ronal B Morse

Sounds to me like Jean-David is looking for something like a flatpack or 
snap...a complete self-contained installable that brings it's 
dependencies with it and runs in a sandbox or other self-contained 
userspace.


But, RHEL 6 doesn't support flatpack or snaps so that's not a solution, 
either.

How could I forget about servers?

True, 10 year stability is a plus for that case.

As for keeping computers that long, my laptop is a 2007 model.(to be fair, it’s 
a Mac and not relevant to the distro choice issue)

Various family members have a smattering of desktops from the very early 2000s, 
most of them 32bit. They still run fine. (I’ve given them new life with various 
*nix flavors)

A client still has four desktops from the late 90s that we ‘upgraded’ with 
Pentium IIIs and *doubled* the RAM to 1GB. (they were running Lubuntu until 
that got too bloated and now run Debian with LXDE)

I’ve even rescued an old Compaq Laptop with a K6, and an IMB PI with 86MB! of 
RAM with an old Puppy flavor.

The two sticking points that are making old hardware tough to keep running 
don’t have anything to do with the hardware. First, the OS vendors are dropping 
32bit images so change is forced and decent distro choices getting slimmer. 
(mind you, these aren’t hackers using these things and those users obviously 
aren’t keen on change) Second, most of these users need a decent, safe and 
secure browser. (which have also dropped 32bit support) That more than anything 
is going to force them to change hardware. If it weren’t for the bloat of both 
browsers and websites, those machines would probably continue to function just 
fine for several more years. (and might still as long as they aren’t connected 
to the internet for anything other than e-mail)

But I digress as this is all far from the original topic.

RHEL is a great server platform.
It SUCKS as a desktop platform.
I would question why Jean-David chose it for a desktop, because it's
really not designed for that.  It is designed for long-term stability,
which is exactly counter to being able to frequently upgrade to new
software.

Besides, who keeps (desktop) computers for 10 years?  I refresh my

Jean-David:  Does Red Hat have a virtual machine manager available for 
RHEL 6? I had a similar problem some years ago when I was tied to Debian 
Stable. My solution was to create a virtual machine running Debian 
Testing which supported newer versions of the applications I wanted to 
use.  Took care of dependencies without disturbing the integrity of the 
host machine.

Yes, it would not work because the server that would respond to yum is
the one Red Hat maintains to support (in my case) RHEL6. Were I running
RHEL7, it would get things from that. But in either case, Red Hat do not
support Gnucash (and do not support VLC), so I would need to download
the rpms from elsewhere. And it is not that easy because the rpm's will
not install unless all the dependencies are already there. And to get
them is almost impossible for most things.

When I downloaded VLC, for example, I needed a few libraries. I found
and downloaded some of those. They wanted more. Some of them needed
other libraries and they did not exist. So I had to get rid of some and
get other versions of those, and so on. It took over a week to get VLC
to work. And I was trying to install VLC because some other video player
(and mp3 player) stopped working.

The only way I got GnuCash to work is that it is not quite as
complicated as VLC, and the EPEL project has Gnucash in it. They do not
upgrade it though. They have a version that works, and that is that. The
EPEL for Gnucash in RHEL7 will not install in RHEL6, and I am not
prepared to upgrade my RHEL6 system just to get the latest Gnucash.
(Even were I to do that, there is no reason to believe that that version
of Gnucash would be the latest, though I suspect it would be more up to
date than what I now have.)

Re: Online quotes fetching latest stock price but incorrect date; currency exchange rate also not working

I guess the first step is to verify that the system time and date is

Hi,

Gnucash is not updating stock quotes correctly for me. The stock price is
correct but an incorrect date is used.

This is confirmed when testing using gnc-fq-dump. E.g.

ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY= gnc-fq-dump alphavantage NAB.AX
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
 symbol: NAB.AX   <=== required
   date: 02/15/2018   <=== recommended
   currency: AUD  <=== required
   last: 29.2200  <=\
nav:  <=== one of these
  price:  <=/
   timezone:  <=== optional

Today's date is Feb 18. The price is actually the closing price for last
Fri 16 Feb.

Gnucash then overwrites the historical price for Feb 15, with the price for
Feb 16.

This happens for all my ASX stocks.

At the same time, Gnucash is also consistently returning the error "Unable
to retrieve quotes for these items: CURRENCY:USD". This sounds unrelated if
it wasn't for the fact that it started happening at the same time as the
above date issue...

I am running GnuCash 2.6.17 on Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty (PPA). And Finance::Quote
1.48 (installed from git).

Any ideas?


Thanks,

Re: How to account for a house purchase

2018-02-17 Thread Ronal B Morse

That's what I did. I also had to set up a corresponding liability 
account for the mortgage, but that's a separate issue.


I wasn't sure if I should use the purchase price or the appraised value 
as the value of the asset, but since I do everything else on a cash 
basis, I decided to use the cash price.  That does have some impact on 
net worth calculations, but I'll live with that.

Good luck!


Quicken (gak) has a good reports facility.  I spent some time going

If you installed GnuCash while logged in as an administrator or

Re: Year end issues

2018-01-15 Thread Ronal B Morse

This is what I do, but I'm only dealing with household and personal 
accounts and smallish investment portfolios. Because the statement 
closing dates for the investment and personal bank and credit accounts 
don't correspond exactly with the beginning date of the new book, 
there's always some monkey motion at the first of the year to "fix" 
opening balances or manually add transactions that were in float.


Not much work, actually, and this keeps the year's data file (and 
backups) down to a reasonable size.  Access to past data is as easy as 
opening the appropriate file (one must remember to ensure you're working

Let's discuss this (and possible options)

First, you need to understand what "close the books" does do and what

income and expense accounts to equity. It does NOT remove transactions 
and so will not make your file smaller.


It sounds like what you want is something more like to was in the old 
days of books kept in BOOKS, pen and ink on paper.  What was common at 
the end of each accounting period was to close the old books and open 
new ones. The old volumes were put safely by in case they needed to be 
referenced later.


One of the advantages of software like gnucash is that it can create 
the usual reports without actually closing the books. Easy to 
reference old transactions (previous accounting periods) without 
having to "bring them back" as they would have done in the old days 
when physical books. But suppose you don't want this, you don't want 
to be seeing all those accounts that have become obsolete cluttering 
up your view, etc. Or are worried about the sheer size of the file, etc.


You CAN simulate what was done in the old days when they opened new 
books each period. This is just like when you created your gnucash 
books in the first place. You run a final Balance Sheet report which 
gives you the balances of all of the standing accounts (asset, 
liability, and equity). You create a new set of books, say by 
exporting the CoA and importing that to a new set of books (all 
accounts zero) and can delete any accounts that are obsolete. You then 
enter the initial values from the Balance Sheet << note: I never use 
the facility to create accounts with an initial value but instead with 
an opening transaction, or rather two so each is split on only one 
side >>


You of course SAVE the old file. If you at some future time want to 
look at old (prior period) transactions you simply ask gnucash to open 
THAT (saved) file instead of the one you are currently using.


Michael D Novack

PS: All of my books are small enough that I have never been tempted to 
do this. The obsolete accounts do not appear in the reports as 
furnished to the boards of the organizations because EDITED first << 
in other words, I do not expect gnucash to produce the final pretty 
version of reports. I have to edit them anyway to add annotations 
explaining and unusual entries so all the editing for "pretty print" 
etc. can be done at that time >>

Re: Receipt scanners, recommendations?

2017-12-21 Thread Ronal B Morse

I use an app named "Scanner Pro" on my iPhone to capture
documents/receipts while out of the office. Images automatically upload
to my iCloud storage or I can mail them to myself. Access to files on
iCloud from the Linux box in the office is done via the iCloud web
portal. Works fine, but Scanner Pro is slow and tedious to use if you
have a lot of documents to process.

I have an $80 Canon LIDE 220 flatbed scanner attached to the desktop.
It's fast and effective and is truly "plug n' play" with Ubuntu 17.10.
Doesn't have a document feeder, though. I normally use VueScan
(recommended) as the scanning front end software, but the Canon also
works great with the "Simple Scan" and "Xsane" packages which are
available at no charge from the Ubuntu repository.

Any images that need to be retained are stored in a "tax items" folder
on iCloud so I don't have to dedicate local storage space to retain
them. I can get to them from any devices that has Internet access.
Reduces the space needed for local backup, too, but really depends upon
a reliable high-speed net connection to work like it should.

I can say that VueScan softer does work with the older Fujitsu
ScanSnap (s500, I think) on Ubuntu 14. But VueScan is not free, and I

OCR when I scan, but instead batch scan, and then later run the files
(usually .tiff) through an OCR program if necessary. In my
experience, the OCR takes too much time, and I have too many pages
(various sizes, receipts, etc.). I will take take a blank sheet and
write the date or topic (usually "201701JAN", etc.; MMAAA) and
scan that sheet at beginning and end of the batch.

That also takes more space, because I'm scanning one sheet to one
file. If you do scan to .pdf, you can place multiple images of sheets
in one file, which might work best for you.

I have used Neat Receipts, and it's not bad, but too proprietary for
cross platform work; they did not support Linux at the time. The cell
phone based scanner apps look interesting, and I would love to try
that as well.

As others said, gnucash doesn't store scanned images. Much less store them in
any way that let's you associate a scanned image with a transaction.

It sounded like you were drowning in getting all the transactions entered into
gnucash that all those receipts represent. I find that the most tedious part.

The main purpose is to just scan the receipts so I can toss the paper

the shredder.

IF there is an application/tool that is capable of creating a
ready-to-import file that would be a huge bonus. A large portion of
these receipts have multiple splits, which I assume would still be done

manually in GnuCash. The conversion program(s) would also have reside
strictly on my computers, no internet processing or fees.

That is exactly what the Opening Balance dialog actually does in

Yes, Dave, I know. But the OP said that he didn’t use the Opening Balance tab

Re: How to create an asset with a reduced value compared to my regular currency (dollars)

2017-12-03 Thread Ronal B Morse

Adrian, is there a reason you treat the rebate as a negative expense 
instead of miscellaneous (non-taxable) income?  To me, the rebate is 
something you get rather than something you don't give, but my analysis 
could be incorrect, and if it is I'd like to know.

I don’t try to record the undiscounted prices of things, since I consider them

This sounds like an overkill. I'd write the original purchase as:

Asset:Bank -$430
Asset:GiftCard: $500
Expense:Rebates -$70

Whereby Expense:Rebates generally collects anything that was purchased at a 
discount, and I wish to record the original price as well as the discount. So, 
a discounted laptop could be recorded as:

Asset:Bank -$900
Expense:Electronics $1000
Expense:Rebates -$100

Other strategies are valid.

My first thought is that sometime after you closed the books you probably
inadvertently entered additional transaction(s) dated before the closing
date.  Did you make an archive backup then that you can compare to your

If there were a very limited number of transactions you might be able to
determine whether they were erroneous and could (and should) be corrected.

Re: My GNUCash Backup Location

2017-12-02 Thread Ronal B Morse

They're not really backups.  They're more like safety copies created by 
GnuCash in preparation for updating the database. Back in the olde days 
the probability of a system r/w error when writing out a big file was a 
lot higher than it is now, and even today it is far from zero.


Do what David says: preferably onto another physical storage medium; 
desirably on a different server/computer entirely; ideally onto a 
different machine at a physically different location. Just having 
another copy of the data file on the same disk in the same machine isn't 
much backup at all.

The difference between the two is that when invoked from the Account

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.

Amish.
