Thanks John. I'm not using currency exchanges, so is there a way to suppress the currency update part of F::Q, and just use the Mutual funds update. Also, I was hoping, that even though the currency update fails, the mutual fund updates might still go through ok, but obviously not. Ok, so now off

Edward, This is probably worth a new feature request in the bug reports as VAT/GST now applies in many jurisdictions. It may take some time for someone to tackle the problem. It would require an additional flag on each transaction which may involve considerable recoding. One possibility for a

Not quite... If you have a sacrificial computer such as a Virtualbox machine, try release 3.2 on it first, along with a test copy of your data file. Then, if you do not like the results you have not corrupted your main machine. Before installing 3.2 on a Windows machine, I would suggest making a

I'm finding myself going down a similar rabbit hole. After editing my funds (38 in all) to reflect yahoo_json as had been suggested elsewhere, I still couldn't get any quotes. I removed Strawberry Perl using both Windows Control Panel and File Explorer and then, for good measure, did a Registry

I agree that the return figures shown in the Advanced Portfolio report isn’t of much use to folks tracking their portfolios over long periods. Annualised return (or CAGR) would have been nice, but it’s not there yet. On dividends, there must be something you are doing wrong with the way you

The simple answer is there is no 'VAT-done' flag. You'd either book the VAT-able transaction using posted-date, or not... If a transaction is booked in error and already processed/reported to authorities, then do another reversing transaction (IMHO; if the accountant agrees) at a later date.
