I wonder if Reports>Transaction Report might do it, with this option -
- Click "Edit options", go to "General" tab
Change "Date Filter" to filter on "Date Entered"
Set start date = the date on which you sent the file to your
accountant
... end date= the day you're doing the report
That would seem to tell you what the accountant did.
If the accountant didn't do too many txn's, might be easiest, or at
least possible, to just enter them by hand into your "master" file. As
far as automating this entry part, someone else has already mentioned
logfiles. I can't think of another or better way to do it automatically.
HTH, good luck,
Chris

Subject: [GNC] Compare two sets of accounts?
Message-ID:
<cadsqa7hnugh27xdb1rfcxggjx0vt0d_bwgac6q8fjn2j86l...@mail.gmail.com>
Hi all,
Does GNC provide any mechanism for comparing two versions of the same
set of accounts?
I'll be sending my books to my accountant soon, and I imagine they
will have some corrections/adjustments. I'll be giving them a laptop
with GNC installed, so they can most easily browse, and it occurs to
me that they could also make their changes in place. But, unless they
write down separately every entry they create or change, I would need
to somehow re-integrate their work with my "master" file. Either that,
or I'd have to freeze my bookkeeping while they're working on things,
and that's likely to take too long to be acceptable.
With the hostage-taker's rent-ware that I used to use, there was a
specific mechanism for an "accountant's copy" and a means to merge the
changes back automatically. But I've failed to find this in the docs
for GNC (quite possibly as a result of poor / uninspired searching!)
Is this supported directly? Is this something folks have found an
approach for? I suppose, as a not quite worst case, I could simply
diff the XML file itself, but that's going to produce results that
will be somewhat messy, at best. But at least I'd know something about
what changed.
What ideas can you offer (or manual pages, if I've failed that
embarrassingly!)
TIA, Simon
