Re: [GNC] Recommend Accounting Books

Once you’re into a unified tool that handles finance, inventory, etc., that’s called ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software. IIRC there are one or two open source suites floating around. For a small operation though, personally I’d just use GNC for the books and Excel or other spreadsheet

Re: [GNC] Recommend Accounting Books

Welcome to Gnucash userlist. GnuCash will happily handle most of your bookkeeping needs. IMHO Learning double-entry is an important business skill that you can acquire via the GnuCash Tutorial & Concepts guide, or https://www.dwmbeancounter.com/bookkeeping-course.html is another that I've used.

A significant limitation for small business is GnuCash will not do cash accounting *and* automated sales tax. https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2024-April/111635.html Christopher Lam wrote: > Please be aware that the inventory part won't be handled via GnuCash: while > you can

Re: [GNC] Identify error transaction in QIF import

The first thing I did before I exported my 150mb Quicken file to a qif was to run the Validate and Repair in the File menu under File Operations. Sometimes the Quicken data file gets corrupted and you have to repair transactions. That may help you track down if the issue is with your Quicken file

Re: [GNC] Identify error transaction in QIF import

One more thing, if you are not aware, the qif is a simple text file. Since the error gave you a line number you might be able to import the qif file into Excel or a word processor that identifies line or row numbers and see what the error line is. If not simply do a search for some part of the

Re: [GNC] Recommend Accounting Books

Please be aware that the inventory part won't be handled via GnuCash: while you can record your purchases and sales easily (e.g. buy $1000 worth of raw materials, sell $2000 worth of products), it's difficult to account for the raw materials inventory levels and products waiting to be sold,

Hi, I'm a long time Quicken user and trying to migrate to GnuCash. I've exported my entire Quicken file to QIF and then try to import into GnuCash. Here is what I noted during the attempt. Load QIF files Line 627318: Could not parse price line: "#C093280",," 5/ 4'21" Match

Converting from Quicken seems to come up a lot here. Here's a long post I made after I'd converted over a lot of data: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-October/103226.html There is a lot of advice in the form of wiki pages and the like, too. To address your specific

Re: [GNC] Identify error transaction in QIF import

To address your specific inquiry, just looking at the line you posted, the date format looks kind of wonky. I would expect something like " 5/ 4/21" or better would be something like 2021-05-04. I don't recall if Quicken will let you specify the date format when you export to QIF (the

Re: [GNC] Identify error transaction in QIF import

Sorry, I was  being an idiot and opened the QDF file, not the QIF file. My QIF files definitely have the date format you are seeing, something like  "11/21/97" for pre-2000 years, and " 4/ 5' 3" It looks like the price lines you are being told about a lacking a numeric price. All the price
