Re: Close books?

There is an option in File > Properties to set how many days previous is the cut-off for read-only transactions, but it seems you want this on a per-account basis. As noted in other replies, I’d examine the rationale for ‘really, really” not wanting to edit a previous entry. Regards, Adrien >

If you create a new invoice, and for the customer name, start typing a particular customer name, does the full name of the customer not appear as an auto-suggestion? can you not specify a specific customer? (other than one already entered) Regards, Adrien > On Mar 24, 2018, at 4:05 PM,

Gnucash and 529 plans

I have a question about recording 529-plan transactions in GnuCash. Not the basic movement of funds between checking and 529 account, as discussed 7 times in the GnuCash archives. There are two aspects of the 529 plan. The first is getting money into and out of the 529 account.

Re: beginning balance of income and expense accounts

I think you had the right idea. If your wages through Sept. 30 totals $20,000 you would credit wages $20,000 and debit opening balance equity $20,000. If your groceries expenses were $5000, debit grocery expense $5000 and credit opening balance equity $5,000. You are just establishing the starting

Close books?

How can you prevent further editing or changes (unless you really, really must) to a credit card account at the end of a year? That is- lock the credit card account with no further changes possible without some sort of password or prompt? Thanks, Carl

Re: beginning balance of income and expense accounts

In that case your first entry should be income total from the start of the accounting year to Sept. 30 and you should be doing the analogous thing for all accounts. ( I am assuming that your accounting year started on January 1 or some other date prior to Sept. 30.) By doing this you will be

Roger, Thanks for that works, like a charm and the shortcuts even show up in the GnuCash Menus. You just have to ensure your new shortcut doesn't clash with an existing GnuCash shortcut :-) Cheers Dave H. On 25 March 2018 at 07:33, Roger Miskowicz wrote: > I don't think

I don't think there is one, but if there is one, it should be specified in: /home/user/.gnucash/accelerator-map, or /home/roger/.local/share/gnucash/accelerator-map (depending on version of gnucash) In any case you might be able to use procedure in:

Re: beginning balance of income and expense accounts

In general, I wouldn't bother entering starting balances for income and expense accounts from before the period I am accounting for. Traditionally, those accounts were temporary, and at the end of the accounting period the balances would be reset to zero, being transferred to equity. That isn't

Re: beginning balance of income and expense accounts

I first started to type that as my reply till I took a closer look at her entries. Equity increases with a credit, but you can’t have a credit to equity and a credit to income to increase both without one or more debits to other accounts to balance the transaction. Though it doesn’t hurt to

Re: beginning balance of income and expense accounts

How do you have an opening balance for income or expenses at the beginning of the year? You haven’t earned or spent anything yet. You should be starting off with opening balances for assets and liabilities. Then as you earn and spend, the net of those newer entries are virtually calculated as

I am starting Gnucash in the beginning of the year. As I’m entering the beginning balance for each income and expense account, a transfer is being made to my Equity Opening Balance account. For income beginning balance entries – credits income; debits Equity Opening Balance For expense
