For backwards compatibility, my understanding is you’ll need version 2.6.21 on the Ubuntu box. (but why not just use 3.1 there as well?) Regards, Adrien > On May 14, 2018, at 2:45 PM, John Pastore wrote: > > I reviewed FAQ section 3.3, but it does not cover more recent

Rufus, I don’t see why a check number on a deposit line doesn’t seem proper if in fact, you are depositing a check. In this case, it happens to be a check you wrote, but it IS from another account, so from the perspective of the receiving account, it’s no different than the case where someone

Dave, Yes, there are some features in 3.1 that will block using earlier versions of 2.6. You can see the list and the earliest version for each at https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/maint/libgnucash/engine/gnc-features.c#L42

Hi Rufus, I am a bookkeeper and former CPA. An account that is often used for checks not yet sent to the bank is "undeposited funds." This is similar to a suspense account in that there is a timing difference between the receipt of a check and the time you actually deposit it. You could debit

Hi, If you wish to map (bind) function keys to Copy and Paste in GnuCash 3.0 it is different to GnuCash 2.6 and lower because GnuCash 2.6 and lower use GTK2 and GnuCash (2.7 I think and 3.0+) use GTK3. Here is how I did it in Windows 10: Close GnuCash if already running. Create (or

Dave Thanks for the insight. I had initially thought about the concept of a "float" account but then figured there might be a more straightforward way. I mean, this can't be all that uncommon... I'll have to think about this a little, but now I know others have addressed this with a float (or

John, I was not clear. I really wanted clarification from the developers. I suspect that you may not be using features that are not compatible between the versions as I know that there are some features that are not backward compatible. David C On Mon, May 14, 2018, 7:59 PM John Pastore

We all have our own definition of the the best way to handle these 'float' issues. While most of us simply choose to let the date be technically incorrect in some accounts, others create what I believe are called 'suspense' accounts to serve as containers for the 'float'. Those accounts could be

Did you make a backup of your file before the upgrade and do you still have it available? I’d test with opening and saving it with 3.1. If it saves in a reasonable time, then there might be an issue with the data entered since the upgrade. If it’s still slow, then for sure, your copy of 3.1
