Hi - I'm using GnuCash for personal finances.
There are 2 distinct types of commodity assets I want to account for:
#1. Conventional financial market securities like stocks and mutual
funds.
These work well using the well-established Buy + Sell transactions,
lots, and setting
Ken,
You can hold other "commodities" (in addition to currencies) in
INVESTMENT acct's - which are asset accounts, rather than equity accts.
I think the contribution of an asset like stamps, bitcoin, etc would be
recorded with an "opening balance" entry which credits the equity
The simplest way is to just consider the purchase price to be $95,000,
not $100,000.
(If you really want to capture the seller credit, you "could" record
the purchase price at $100k, and create another "split" in the
transaction, $5,000 credit to a new account, for instance,

I think it may be TIMING which is confusing it - - - like this:
Keep in mind the basic fact that a Balance Sheet measures Assets
Liabilities + Equity as of a specific MOMENT - a POINT - in time.
But Income and Expense can only be measured OVER A PERIOD of time,
since they are
GnuCash will do the accounting fine.
It won't do the equipment, RMA, and inventory tracking.
I suspect it'll be very hard to find a software which integrates these
other functions with accounting - because of that, if it were me, I'd
use GnuCash for the accounting, and look for
The card, with a cash value on it, is an asset - probably best
described as a "prepaid expense."
The fully accurate way to account for it:
1. When you "put cash onto the card":
-- credit "cash" (or bank account, or credit card, or wherever you get
the money that you put onto the

Subject: Reports suddenly not working at all
I'm on Build ID: Flathub 4.13, on Lubuntu 18.04, been using it for
years without any issue
FWIW, I'm another who enters most txn's on the same day I make them.
IMHO, one of the great and beautiful advantages of GnuCash over
Quickbooks Online (which I must use to do our church's accounts) - is
that GC opens basically instantaneously. There's no network latency, no
login,
When you BUY something using paypal, the SELLER pays their fees, not
you.
So recording a purchase for which you paid using paypal is no different
than any other purchase:
Debit: expense (or asset, if you're buying something that you'll
recognize as an asset on your balance sheet)

Today reports simply do not work: it returns a blank screen, whether I
call up a standard report or a custom; and regardless of what options I
select (dates, accounts, etc). Last time I
From Intuit:
"Intuit Interchange Format (.IIF) files are ASCII text, TSV

One way is to schedule a transaction to be created before you import the
bank record. Then match the imported bank record to the scheduled
transaction. The amounts on payrolls are often pretty consistent from
one payroll run to the next, so it might match automatically, or you
might have to
I'd suggest *NUMBERING* the expense accounts - the field is called
"Account Code."
Get to it by editing the account, in the account tab.
Number the accounts in the sequence in which you want to see them.
Most often, accounts are numbered in "layers", corresponding to parent +
subaccount
I wonder if Reports>Transaction Report might do it, with this option -
- Click "Edit options", go to "General" tab
Change "Date Filter" to filter on "Date Entered"
Set start date = the date on which you sent the file to your
accountant
... end date= the day you're
I usually do multi-column Statements of Activity and Position.
I have been using Custom Multicolumn because that sorts in order of
Account Code.
Is there a way to sort the Income Statement-Multicolumn by acct code?
That would save some time setting up the several reports.
Thanks very much,
I do this using the "Export" choice in GnuCash, saving the report as an
html file on the desktop, then right-click + open with LibreOffice Calc.
In addition to what Hop said below about ticking the box for:
"Detect special numbers (such as dates)" in the import ...
I also need to do this
