[GNC] Pre-Payments into Liabilities

2022-09-11 Thread Vance Turnewitsch via gnucash-user
Hello, I use GnuCash for a small school. One of our parents paid their entire tuition amount at the beginning of the year. I have been fiddling with how to record this. We bill monthly; therefore, for the payment that doesn't have a receivable yet, shouldn't it go into a liability account?

Greg Thank you! As I mentioned GnuCash 4.9, Windows 11 (64 bit). Have tried opening from apps, from shortcut, directly from the GnuCash.exe in bin. I cannot open GnuCash from any version higher than 4.9. I see a circle for a few seconds while windows is try to open GnuCash and then nothing. I've

I found this will change the input text color: gnc-id-cursor entry { color: green; } ...and it works but it gets overridden whenever you change *.gnc-class-register-cursor color but not sure why. As for the header I'm not sure how you would completely remove that. I'm assuming that would be

Richard, You may want to provide a few more details. Perhaps mention the version of GnuCash you're using, which OS you're using. How do you open GnuCash, by starting the application or by clicking on a saved file? And so on. Kind regards, Greg Feneis On Sat, Sep 10, 2022 at 6:36 AM

5. Geoff is also correct here that gnucash saves backup so you don't lose data, but backuping up to another media is always a good idea. And asking this question "how do I back-up my gnucash data?" implies a more serious misunderstanding about using your computer. It isn't just just

Hey all, I'm using Gnucash 4.11 on Linux and trying to get the coloring of the register to my liking. I'm using ~/.config/gnucash/gtk-3.0.css for the settings. I haven't yet figured out how to change the color of the placeholder text that shows up when the cursor is not in that textbox.
