My own accounting period is the calendar year, but a nonprofit I'm keeping books for uses a fiscal year ending July 31st. Accounting period seems to be a per-user setting, not a per-book setting. Is there actually a way to have different accounting periods for different books. (Yes, I know I could create another Windows user, but that s4ems like a lot of overhead.)
Also, as a temporary work around, keep in mind that "accounting period" is in effect a short cut. You can use gnucash without reference to accounting period by assigning specific effective dates to reports, etc. In other words, if you like being able to reference relative to current accounting period, you might use that for your own books but explicit date specification for the non-profit. Since at one time I was keeping books for several non-profits, a more obvious solution for me.
