Re: Installation

I too believe this is a good idea, just like several others: https://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/ 1470507-configuration-option-for-backup-location https://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/

Template for GST India

Thanks to all involved! I adjusted the PR for both branches. So the template will be in GnuCash 2.6.20 and 2.7.5. Because the language is english (en), but the region is India (IN) you will see it if you run $ LANG=en_IN gnucash But you can choose another language for the surface of the program

Re: Installation

I stand corrected on the lock file, though other apps that I see use them make them hidden so the user isn’t confused. I still don’t see ANY other software dumping backups or log files into my data directories for any other file type. Gnucash is the only one. Everything else seems to be happy

Re: Trading Accounts

Good advice David. I have always just used my broker reports for tax purposes.  I guess I never really relied on GC for such reporting.  I use GC to keep track of my day-to-day transactions; inputing from paper receipts as I receive them. Also reconciling bank and brokerage accounts at month

Re: One account for both Income and Expenses possible?

Norbert, If the vegetables, fruits and handicrafts that you buy are purchased for resale as your inventory, then yes, you can and should, use one account to track them. (not by quantity, but by value) Because you are also a manufacturer, you might also have a ‘work-in-progress’ account at

Re: Installation

I would support the idea of the log and backup files being in a subdirectory named using the accounts file name as a seed, so for example myaccounts.gnucash.archive or maybe for those windows users who have problems with file extensions not being shown myaccounts_gnucash_archive. Something like

Re: inventory management examples or links

Matt, Perhaps you are misunderstanding. I’m not describing any integration between inventory and Gnucash. Gnucash is an accounting application. It can handle lots of situations without special features. Inventory is just one of them. Anything I’ve posted is just a regurgitation of accounting

That was quick, you answered your own question with a recommendation from an accountant in 3 minutes. (at least by my clock) I’m curious for a clarification. Does your accountant mean to expense the non-cash goods and services provided at once? Or to hold these as deferred and expense them as

Rich, If you’re using digest mode, I’d recommend turning it off. My experience has been it’s more trouble to maintain and sort through. The digest also seems to not be quite ‘regular’ in its delivery, either in number of messages, or in elapsed time. Replies will also seem to appear out of

Recording non-cash donations

Hi all, For tax purposes non-cash donations of goods and services are deductible. I would like to track those as an account (or off-setting accounts) in gnucash and do not find how best to do this in the guide or help docs. I'm open to suggestions on how to track these transactions. Regards,

Re: 2.6.19: find source of imbalance in reconciled accounts

I'm balances are usually caused by transactions that involve more than one currency or purchase or sale of stock or other commodity. One way to get closer to any transaction that may be causing the I'm balance is reduce the time window until the imbalance disappears, then work back to find the
