Hi,
It's a bit like partnership accounts where each partner effectively has
equity account, and the total of their equity accounts equals the net assets
of the partnership. The proportion of equity each partner has represents the
proportion of the net assets of the partnership.

Hi,
When entering a description into a transaction, I think GnuCash is trying to
autofill, but it does not allow me to input the description I wish to enter.
Is it me, or is it a bug?
Thanks

Hi Sergey,
I am not a tech guy, but I am an accountant. The advice I gave you was to
allow you to do something technically which fitted your requirement for
"deferred income", but I would not wish to operate an accounting system that
way myself.
Typically, in the situation you describe, when a
Hi,
I wonder if a simple way is that when you create an invoice, you then post
it for some distant time in the future. After all, at some date in the
future it should become income, it's only a question of time. . That way,
when you run an income statement for year to date, I guess you will not

Sometime a member may pay the invoices of several other members in one cash

Normally I would always wish, even for hidden accounts, that any balance
would be included in the totals, otherwise my balance sheet would not add up
and assets would not equal equity plus liabilities. If I did not want the
balance to be reflected in totals, I would clear it off with an accounting
Hi Adrien,
I had the same thought as you "I'm curious why you raised an invoice for a
payment against a coupon/credit note." But I guess the reason is that a
document will be created if an" invoice" is raised for the prepayment which

Hi Michael or Penny Novack, you suggest "Have you tried creating an account
of type income with a name like "credit note totals"? It would, of course
tend to have a debit balance (negative with respect to other income
accounts."
I did think of that and it would work, but the accounts I wish to
Adrien, Your advice of posting the member's expenses to a liability account
(Dr expenses and Cr Liability account) and then posting out of that
liability account via a credit note in the A/R system (Dr Liability account
and Cr members receivable account) is exactly what I am doing and of course

Hi Adrien,
In my version of GnuCash I am not able to select an expense account at an
item level when creating the credit note. Only Income, asset or liability
accounts. It's the 5th column entitled "income" where I select the account.
Please check and tell me if I have misunderstood.

I wish to create a credit note in A/R and post it to an expense account.
The only options I see are to post to an income, liability, or asset
account, and I can well understand why, as in most business processes a
credit note represents a negative income. The only work around I can find
is to

I meant that a half decent accounting system which has an inventory system
would have those features, and am sorry if my statement was misunderstood. I

There is no inventory accounting in GnuCash, so if you need to hold parts in

Thanks Tommy,
I tried that and it worked fine. I did not want to use the A/R and invoicing
procedures as it was not appropriate in our case and we have relatively few
members, and not all of them need a statement. I prefer the simplicity of
the procedure you mentioned. To overcome the issue I had
