Howdy! We use GnuCash for the bookkeeping for our non-profit, and I love the simplicity and straightforward implementation of double-entry. I'm really grateful for how much GnuCash has helped us as we grow.
We're now in a situation I can't figure the best practices around. We have a single bank account. This year we received a cash loan and a grant. Both of them require us to track what expenses the funds specifically went to pay for. I'm unclear of how to best set this up in GnuCash. For grants that don't require tracking, we just co-mingle the funds in our bank account general funds, but this grant's funds will be actually in our bank account but expenses using those specific funds needs to be tracked. For loans that don't require tracking, I know to create a liability account for the loan and begin it with a transaction between the loan and the bank account. But it feels like I need some other account to track the remaining balance on the funds from the loan/grant. I can do a subaccount on our bank account, but the ledger balance for the bank account won't match what the bank says without doing math every time. I imagine there may be a better way. So yeah - any advice? Thanks so much in advance! -jag Joshua Ginsberg Vice-President & Treasurer https://seekhealing.org/ _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
