Re: Future allocated money vs Budgets

Looks nice. My main concern with these "shadow accounts" is that they will, by default, be counted in the Net worth reports, income reports, etc, and must be manually deselected every time. In my view budget allocations are technically "outside the books" and must therefore ideally be recorded in

Re: can i use to handle VAT?

Hi Joanna This is not a daft question. It is answered in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Tax_Handling:_Goods_and_Service_Tax_.28GST.29_or_Value_Added_Tax_.28VAT.29 The exact process may vary, but ultimately these VAT amounts must be recorded in accounts of type asset or liability.

Re: Future allocated money vs Budgets

If the money is physically divided into envelopes, or left in some bank account and ‘segregated in place’ then it IS an asset. If this allocation is merely virtual and has no relationship to where it actually exists, then it isn’t ANY of the top level accounts, certainly NOT a liability. You

Re: Future allocated money vs Budgets

I understand your concern, but I don't think that would be the case here. They may be included in the net worth but because all entries net to zero they are balanced and they have no net effect on net worth. The issue I've seen with previous proposals both here and in the mentioned blog post is

Re: Future allocated money vs Budgets

We're getting into nebulous, philosophical territory, but I'll take you up on your position. By putting cash into an envelope, it's allocated and is now an obligation. If you have made the decision to abide by the purpose of allocating monies to envelopes, then you understand that the cash

Re: Revising entries that have already been reconciled

Jim, If you change a split line that does not have a "y" in reconcile box, it does not affect other split lines that do. Thus you can redirect a reconciled bank transaction to a different target account without un-reconciling. David C On Feb 4, 2018 12:17 PM, "Jim Kellar"

Revising entries that have already been reconciled

Hi GNUCash, I discovered that I mis-directed payments that were going to a liability account and instead just went to a more general expense account. Is it possible, or straightforward, to just revise those cleared entries to the proper liability account or will that just mess the whole thing up?

Re: MacOS 32-bit support

John, Thank you for doing that in the past, and all your other work. My recollection (sketchy, at best) is that you can still get the C++11 compiler for later IBM PPC (OpenPower and ISA), but that has moved on quite a bit from the old G4 and G5. And knowing Apple, my guess is that they quit

Bruce, I think you are looking at a report and not the budget. Be sure to go to Action > Budget. It should prompt you for a budget name and then you get to set your time periods. After that you should be looking at a ‘spreadsheet’ like screen with your accounts on the left and your periods on the

RE: Future allocated money vs Budgets

So there really is more than one way to skin a cat... or make a budget. Whatever. Since we are talking about something very personal to the needs of individuals, perhaps Gnucash needs a ‘add module’ system, where we can write modules that perform data access and manipulation? So we could write

Gnucash aberent behavior

I am currently trying to set up Gnucash and am encountering a great deal of aberrant behavior. 1. Using the cursor in pull down lists selects the item below the cursor which can be overcome with the up/down arrow keys 2. Currency selection shifts from default (USD) to Andorian Franc (ADF) 3.

RE: Entering Budget Values

Ah, okay. Weird. I’ve also realised that when you start a new budget you should see all ‘zeros’ in each ‘cell’ too. So I was on the wrong lines talking about that (thought the cells might be there with no values entered, but by default you would see 0.00 in each cell until you enter something.
