Re: [GNC] Problems organizing accounts to process reimbursement of expenses

Mike, Thanks. I ended up splitting the transaction in my checking account or credit card, with non-tax-deductible 90% going to expenses:house:utilities, and the tax deductible 10% going to assets:debts of company to me. That seems to work, unless I'm missing something. I was able to get rid of

[GNC] Sub-accounts disappeared during upgrade 3.5 > 3.7

Hello. Rather bizarrely, one group of sub-accounts has disappeared from the chart of accounts in one of our books. They we there when I last closed the file in GnuCash 3.5 a few days ago, and they're gone when I first opened them in 3.7. I am wracking my brain trying to understand what's

It will depend upon whether you are maintaining separate books for your personal accounts and your business accounts and separate bank accounts. The process Mike described would be appropriate where your books are totally separate, i.e. you and your business are separate legal entities. From your

Mike, Sorry, Just a better explanation on my part: For instance, the electric bill is paid by credit card, and it is transferred from expenses:house:utilities:electric, and may be $100 So it takes $100 from credit card and transfers to expenses:house:utilities:electric - I list this account as an

Re: [GNC] Problems organizing accounts to process reimbursement of expenses

Mike, Thanks. If I hadn't learned basic bookkeeping, I wouldn't have been using gnucash without major issues for the last 15+ years. I don't think split is the way to go here, because it's mirrored to an actual transaction(but I could be wrong). For instance, the electric bill is paid for by the

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

The default for all systems is XML. You can choose to save your file as type sqlite instead. (the XML version will still be on disk, so if you work in the sqlite file make sure to treat the XML as an archive - it won’t contain newer transactions.) This will result in every change being saved

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

Reproducing the problem is an issue as well. Are you using the XML or a db backend? That shouldn’t be an issue with the GUI but it might make a difference on saving column widths as with sqlite for example, saves are instant. (I’m using sqlite and all my column width changes are ’sticky’ and I

Restarting GC with open invoices results in all date fields collapsing to the original too-narrow width. This is why I try to avoid closing GC (I typically have 30+ invoices open). - Axel — Axel Essbaum a...@essbaum.com > On 15 Dec 2019, at 18:38, David Carlson wrote: > > Oops, Be sure

Axel, Try resizing the date field in one invoice, then close GnuCash altogether. Reopen GnuCash and reopen that invoice. You may get different results if you follow that procedure. David Carlson On Sun, Dec 15, 2019, 2:31 AM Axel Essbaum wrote: > > Updated to 3.7. Date field issue did not

Updated to 3.7. Date field issue did not change. Calendar button still pushes date off the left and double-click still collapses date field even further. And date field with is still not remembered if the invoice tab is closed and reopened. - Axel — Axel Essbaum a...@essbaum.com > On
