RE: Issues with Importing Invoices

Nelson – OK, I just copied your exact header row and tried importing but with no ID’s (Invoice Number blank) – I got errors that No ID Set (or something like that). So, I plugged in Invoice Numbers – and it worked. 2 invoices to 2 users, perfect, just as you would expect. I then posted both

RE: Issues with Importing Invoices

Thx Nelson – Let me try filling in the header row & see if it helps with the customer number at all. That is the central issue right now. When I post invoices on June 1, I don’t want all 34 to go to C001 (or whoever is first on the list). So I’m trying just these two customers to see if I can

Re: Issues with Importing Invoices

Hi Bruce, In no particular order Please check your version of gnucash - most recent version is 2.6.16. It's best to keep up to date. Tou can't delete an invoice - but if it's left as not posted then it won't show in any of the accounts. It's a bit annoying but it's always been that way

account report from search shows wrong numbers

Hi, I was in Italy and I wanted to know my expenses there. I paid both by cash (EUR) and with a card (in CZK, my home currency). I tagged my expenses in Italy and succesfully found all the transactions with "Find...". From the "Search Results" I proceeded with Reports -> Account Report. It

Re: Handling religious organization 'earmarked' funds and in-kind contributions

Hi Anita, That sounds right to me - unless anyone knows of an automated way to do this in a more recent GC - last time I started a new year empty boo was probably still in the GC 2.2.x days, and there's been a lot of changes to GC since then! Maf. On Thursday, 25 May 2017 13:07:25 BST Anita

Re: Handling religious organization 'earmarked' funds and in-kind contributions

Maf, I have already created an account summary of the previous file, so have the balances forward to enter in the new one and don’t mind using the Equity:Opening Balances account, but I also have separate asset subaccounts under that for cash, bank account (current), etc. I will then manually

Re: Handling religious organization 'earmarked' funds and in-kind contributions

Hi Anita, sorry if I missed your point. It is quite a few years since I started a new year with an empty file, but IIRC, the only way to carry account balances forward is to manually create the transactions to Equity:Opening Balances in the new, blank file. So all your asset & liability

Fwd: Handling religious organization 'earmarked' funds and in-kind contributions

Well, I just discovered an error in my judgment! Friends, I did not go back to the previous year’s accounts to see how I took the cash advance in the first place. And because I did not carry forward the balances in the asset accounts, I did not correctly record these balances in my new

Re: Handling religious organization 'earmarked' funds and in-kind contributions

Hi Anita. why would you expect a change in the opening balance account? At the start of the year, you have some money (say €100), which shows up in an asset account as you say, transferred from Equity:OpeningBalances. You spend most of the money - so asset drops to €14, and expenses:whatever

Re: Handling religious organization 'earmarked' funds and in-kind contributions

Hi again, folks! This message is about ‘earmarked’ funds for the religious organization for which I keep the accounts. It is a corporation without share capital but not a non-profit corporation. We are in Cyprus and the laws here are similar to British laws. We do pay taxes, but we have not
