GnuCash for Android is a separate project. The developers of GnuCash (or this mailing list) are not affiliated with it. The GnuCash project has a link to it because users of GnuCash may be interested in it. So you’ve found that this 3rd party app for your phone had a bug. That happens from

Matt, You lost me again. I don’t understand why you’d have a negative 'segmented spending money' asset. You receive a paycheck, say $1000. You earmark 50% of that into various sub-accounts. You still have $1000. There’s no negative balance on any asset account. Perhaps your checking account

Confused! Back ground : Trying to get damaged transactions from phone to main file. Transactions entered whilst phone app had some sort of double minus problem. What I have done: The only way to repair the transactions was to export as an XML file. Open that XML in GNUCash. Go through line by

Ah, true. I guess this is why I favored "triggered transactions " rather than "template transactions". I want a transaction involving expense account "spending money" to automatically add two more splits to reduce the asset account "segmented spending money" balanced by increasing the value of

My workflow is remarkably similar but my transactions are marked as "y" when they get reconciled :-) I wouldn't mind also being able to flag a transaction as 'p' = pending for the pending credit card transactions and 's' = scheduled when I have scheduled a future transaction in online banking but

An item that is cleared means that your bank has cashed it. An item that is reconciled means that at the end of the month the balance of the bank and your checking account match for all item that have cleared. That is the difference between the two. I hope my explanation is simple enough. Sent

Thanks all. I don't understand the difference between "cleared" and "reconciled" in Gnucash context. Someone mentioned that one changes R from "n" to "c" when they see the charge in their bank statement or online banking. How is that different in terms of information flow from using the

Roger, You are correct. Ideally, that overpayment should instead be held as a liability in the form of ‘customer deposits’ but I suppose that would have complicated the code. A reverse balanced AR is technically a liability, not an asset. When I encounter such a situation, I set a scheduled

When a customer pays more than the amount due on an invoice that balance appears in the receive payment window the next time there is an invoice to pay. In which account is that balance stored? I suspect it is kept in receivables. Is that correct? Trying to figure out a way to keep track of

Hi, David, Whether PyCash is for an average user really depends on what you consider the average user to be. It is a Python library and, if you don't expect an average user to know how to write Python code then no - it is not for an average user. What it offers, though, is a pure Python interface
