Re: [GNC] how to search

In my case, if I let GnuCash OFX import with Bayesian matching do the matching unsupervised it often applies payments to an incorrect expense account rather than Imbalance-xxx, but that is mostly with a certain bank that I do a lot of business with.. On Thu, Jun 3, 2021 at 6:21 PM Greg Feneis

Re: [GNC] how to search

Another source of imbalance is if the user imports downloaded data from their FI and the matcher hasn't found a match for the transaction and the user accepts all of the new transactions without correcting. Kind regards, Greg Feneis On Thu,

The only problem I have is that it is far too easy (IMO, IME!) to accidentally create or use Orphan-* and Imbalance-* accounts just by hitting the tab key one time too many. I'd prefer to be able to set an option to disable that and to force me to balance the transaction before leaving it.

Re: [GNC] WHY ARE THERE "IMBALANCE ENTRIES" AT ALL ?? JUST CURIOUS

I concur. It seems like this is a too minor an issue to warrant the number of posts on the subject. But I guess people feel strongly about it. Will On 2021 Jun 3, at 06-03 10:11:22, David T. via gnucash-user wrote: Given how easy it is to correct these problems (i.e., change the Account in

Re: [GNC] WHY ARE THERE "IMBALANCE ENTRIES" AT ALL ?? JUST CURIOUS

Maybe because for those new to GNC, like myself, it's not a very intuitive process and is easy to screw up. After two months I still muck it up from time to time especially when I'm trying to modify a duplicated transaction that has splits. I'm not complaining but providing an explanation to

Re: [GNC] WHY ARE THERE "IMBALANCE ENTRIES" AT ALL ?? JUST CURIOUS

Given how easy it is to correct these problems (i.e., change the Account in the erroneous entry from Imbalance-XXX to some other account and press enter), I don't see why we continue to beat upon this subject. On 6/3/2021 10:12 AM, Adam Funk wrote: On 2021-06-01, DaveC49 wrote: Laura, The

Good Morning, I have been using gnucash since 1/1/2021 and I am frustrated with split transactions and unbalance account. Now, I could rip gnucash out of my computer and stomp it to death but I have 6 months worth of data it in. I have spent 2 days trying to search for answers and I am amazed that
