I have created many test invoices (and bills) that I "virtually deleted" by not
Posting them.
As before, as soon as I close that document's tab it apparently vanishes.
I have opened the Gnucash.gnucash file with Notepad++ and searched for the text
I know should be in the unposted invoices, but no results.
Having those particular invoices or bills actually vanish would the best
outcome, re-useability is second best.
How do I find them again to re-use? Or verify that they are gone, thereby
saving space?
Thanks,
Eric

Thanks Adrien,
I understand the complexity of the data-base, and re-using them would be great.
But....
Please tell me how you find them?
(there are a LOT at this point)
Once I Unpost and clean up incorrect invoices or bills they seem to vanish when
I close its tab in the "Accounts" ribbon.
All the best,
Eric

They remain forever. (There was a decent explanation as to why recently on IRC
- the short of it is that deleting them cleanly is simply too messy with the
current code.)
My workflow in such cases is to change their ID to 'use next'. You can either
create a dummy vendor/customer for them as well, or just leave them as-is since
you can re-assign the vendor/customer before posting.
When I want to start a new bill/invoice, I do a find for 'use next' IDs, but
that is pretty rare now as I just duplicate a previous document and edit from
there. (and I don't think I have any 'use next' documents left
anyway.)

Adrien

Then you can select the one you want and use the view/edit button to adjust
from there.

Look up the customer
Select both the desired credit note and the desired invoice
Set the other appropriate info, but unless also taking another form of payment
leave the payment field unchanged.
The credit note will be used to partially/fully offset the invoice which will
show up as a 'payment' in the Customer Report.

Liz,
Thank you.
I've received much help and am learning what is needed.

P.S. The book that was recommended: "Accounting All-In-One for Dummies"

suggestion, because I did not know what to look for. The other members were
able to get me over a logical hurdle that had blocked forward progress until

Hi Ruaraidh
I think you are out of luck with Gilts. I have checked the web sites of
Morningstar, Financial Times, Alphavantage, and Yahoo Finance; and none of them
seem to be able to provide price data for Gilts securities.
I note that you can obtain price data directly from the LSX:-
https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/TR29/united-kingdom/company-page
However none of the Finance Quote modules currently use the LSX as a data
source.

Geoff

I would like to be able to print reports which display numbers in whole
currency unit values. I have experimented with Preferences which only
allow going to 1 decimal place. Even when I do that,registers and
reports still display 2 decimal places.
Is what I want to do achievable in Gnucash? If so what am I missing?
Advice appreciated.
