Re: [GNC] Newbie Q: match Description to Transfer

2019-09-03 Thread Greg Feneis
Perhaps, before importing, add a "Groceries" sub account to your expenses account. Then, instead of importing the entire checking account from your bank, just import a month's worth of records or so. In the matcher step, assign transfer accounts accordingly. Then import the remaining records for

Just starting out to use GnuCash. Imports fine from my bank to my Checking account. Now I have to make sense of it all! In the Checking ledger, there are many different creditors. For example, "Kroger" in the Description field. How can I label all "Kroger" entries with "Expenses:Groceries" in

Fair enough. Operating system: Windows 10. Installed from a downloaded file from the GnuCash website, an upgrade from I think 2.18, something like that. I read the instructions at the GTK3 page. I’m not smart enough to understand what it is asking me to do. Requires some technical knowledge

This is common in many businesses, particularly restaurants. Create a ‘Petty Cash’ account as a current asset account. When you ’top off’ the Petty Cash fund, do the following: Dr. Assets:Current Assets:Petty Cash Cr. Assets:Current Assets:Checking If you spend any money from the Petty Cash

Actually, there are several rabbit holes there but they mostly relate to the operating system that your instance of GnuCash happens to be running in. As Tommy Trussell mentions, we cannot help much without knowing which you are using. It would be very difficult to make a FAQ entry that would not
