Placeholder would stop you from editing or adding transactions in the

Try creating Owner's Capital as a sub of the parent: Equity instead.

Your QIF may not be complete. I believe it is not documented but need first
four lines and the last line as shown in the below example; carets are
important in qif format as well! This would be the minimal example:
!Account
NTest
TInvst

!Type:Invst
D12/2/2022
NBuy
PXYZ, INC
YXYZ

T450

remove the placeholder option, but same result:

You can't delete invoices, but you can remove their entries in your

That is true, but not the reason GnuCash doesn't offer the facility to
delete them. (you could edit and change the invoice number, as a work
around)
Maybe Derek can shed light on the code reasoning. I vaguely recall it
being discussed a few years ago, but I long since lost that thread.
I don't think they end up in the same place. I also checked the archive
and the message was not there. I only saw it because you also happened
to copy me personally.

Deleting invoices are not allowed as per law in many states. The reason is the
tax authorities prefer to see your continous running invoice numbers. i think
this came from the tax authorities to avoid any errors/frauds. Again with
newer connected tax systems where invoices are
Yes, currently we depend on a lock file, which is sensible in a very
traditional model. In many apps, you can mod a file in one app and other app
notifies you that the file changed and you can reload, like two text editors on
the same machine.

Hah, well, I did:
Business->Customer->FindInvoice.
Double click the invoice in the list, close the finder window.
Select the invoice "row"
Click "Delete" in the toolbar, brings up "Are you sure you want to delete

Click yes.

I'd say all of that sounds correct to my understanding as well, save I

The files are in Scheme, which generate the report as an HTML table.

your entries should be
Dr Assets:Bank account £424
Cr Income:Sales:Services sold worldwide (USD) : 540
Dr Expenses: Bank Fees : £7
when entering the transacitons , conversion pop up will be enabled, use the
debit amount option and enter the action amount to avoid conversion issues.
I've been wrestling with this too, specifically with regard to
invoices. This is a rather lengthy comment. I hope it is useful. Also,
if some of this is inaccurate, which is likely, please let me know.
I've looked at the wiki and sifted through the code trying to
understand how reports work.
Just a further 0.02 on this.
generating a PDF in a folder gives you (with no extra work) a handy archive of
invoice documents actually generated. If you ever need to quickly refer to
one (or have the tax man come to visit), an archive of PDFs is IMHO quicker
than firing up GC and searching.
Gnucash can use SQLite and that works well. I set up what Cam Ellison
described for our football club, where I needed to send about 450
statements at the end of each month showing players how much they had paid
and how much they owed. Querying the SQLite database to create the
statements as pdf
