It seems unlikely the we’ll have either the resources (as in developer time) or 
information from HMRC to implement this. If HMRC actually requires that account 
software be submitted to them for evaluation and approval  it also seems 
unlikely that they’d approve any FOSS program. 

That aside the page you cite says April 2019 and only for businesses above the 
VAT threshold. It looks like HMRC intend that they’ll collect information on 
individual taxpayers by other means so that individuals will have no reporting 
requirements at all. Since GnuCash is aimed primarily at individuals and small 
businesses it seems that most of our UK users will still be able to use GnuCash.

Re: Manually Post Scheduled Transactions

2017-07-24 Thread Dale Alspach
I have not really used this but perhaps using the scheduled transaction 
editor in the following way might accomplish what you want.


Create a scheduled transaction but mark only Enabled, Reminder and  Days 
in advance. Set the frequency and approximate posting date. Create a 
transaction template. When you select Scheduled Transactions Since Last 
Run, each scheduled transaction within time interval between posting 
date less days in advance and posting date will appear as a reminder in 
the list. For those that you are ready to post, change Reminder to To 
create. The template transaction will be created and then you can edit 
the transaction itself to set the correct amounts.


If the goal is to save typing, both the ability to duplicate 
transactions and the fact that gnucash tries to match what is being 
typed in the Description to an existing transaction can be helpful.

Re: Manually Post Scheduled Transactions

2017-07-24 Thread David T. via gnucash-user
Taking into account the fact that I don't really use scheduled transactions 
much these days, nevertheless I think you have a different model going from 
what gnucash does. 
Specifically, in gnucash, a scheduled transaction is only a template; it is not 
a transaction itself. As a template, it lacks certain things, like a date. So, 
it makes sense that you can't edit a date in the scheduled transaction editor. 
A transaction doesn't exist until later.
Posting the transaction is mentioned in 4.5 where it discusses "Since last run. 
..". This command is run when gnucash starts, and can also be run from the 
menus. This last is how you "manually" create a transaction. 
Once the Since last run routine is triggered, you will have the opportunity to 
modify any aspect of the transaction. Indeed, at that point, it is simply 
another transaction. 
This is why another person mentioned adding special text to the scheduled 
transactions--sometimes, a scheduled transaction will slip past without your 
notice, to turn up months later as a hard-to-find error. 
HTH, David

Re: shared expenses/IOU accounting

2017-07-24 Thread DaveC49
Hi,
Gnucash is certainly capable of doing what you require. I use it to manage
separate accounts for my wife and myself and a joint accounst  and separate
debit and credit cards. The first thing is to have you asset and liability
accounts match your actual bank accounts and ownership of them. You can use
placeholder subaccounts to separate the individual ownership E.g.

Assets:Current Assets:Person A:Savings account
Assets:Current Assets:PersonB:Savings account
Assets:Current Assets:Joint:Cheque account

Liabilities:Person A:Creditcard
Liabilities:Person B:Credit card

with a similar structure for Expenses to manage how you split the expenses

Expenses:Rent:Person A
Expenses:Rent:Person B

Gnucash supports transactions with what are known as two or more splits. An
example transaction for an equal sharing of the rent of $300 could look
something like:

   
Debit |Credit
Expenses:Rent:Person A  150 

|
Expenses:Rent:Person B  150 

|
Assets:Current Assets:Person A:Savings account 
|  150
Assets:Current Assets:PersonB:Savings account  
|  150

or even a combination of two transactions


   
Debit|Credit
Assets:Current Assets:Person A:Savings account 
|  150
Assets:Current Assets:PersonB:Savings account  
|  150
Assets:Current Assets:Joint:Cheque account300


  
Debit |Credit
Assets:Current Assets:Joint:Cheque account   
|  300
Expenses:Rent:   
300|

The structure of the accounts and the transactions is dictated by the detail
you wish to preserve and how you actually manage the sharing process.
Gnucash is a double entry accounting system so if the above transactions do
not make sense, you may need to become familiar with the concepts of double
entry accounting first.

In the first transaction set Expenses:Rent is a placeholder account while
the personA and PersonB sub-accounts record the individuals contributions to
the rent. Here the sharing is recorded in the Expenses sub account structure

In the second set the sharing is managed by the transfers into a joint
account before payment not at the Expenses end. It is perfectly possible to
replace the last line of the second transaction with the first two lines of
the first transaction. You will need to structure the accounts and
transactions to reflect how you share the expenses and when and from what
accounts you pay them.

   In about a year's time the UK taxman (HMRC) will only allow approved
   accounting software to transmit the transctions required by law to
   HMRC.
   The project is known as Making Tax Digital or  MTD
   No exact details or requirements to softwaremakers have been published,
   but will gnucash commit to MTD?
   If not, gnucash cannot be used anymore by any UK users.

There is (or was) a Gnucash2QIF project out there.

manually check every source!

I am one step further, though. As I wrote I found the Bloomberg code
REMCIEE:LX for LU1233758587 so I tried using this with selected sources,
which also didn't work.
Then I found this Perl Bloomberg module for finance quote:
https://github.com/alex314159/PerlFinanceQuoteBloomberg
I added the file to the finance quote directory (on my Windows 10 system:
C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote) and added Bloomberg to the
modules in the file Quotes.pm and changed the account delimiter in GnuCash
to from ":" to "\" (as described in the Readme file in the above link).
Using gnc-fq-dump and gnc-fq-helper via command line I was able to get a
quote for REMCIEE:LX.
After that, I was able to select Bloomberg as an online source for my fund.
Then I tried to get the online quotes for all my shares, but the only thing
that happened ist the black Strawberry Perl window popping up and never
closing (I let it run for more than 1 hour). After that I aborted (closed
the Strawberry Perl window) and got an error message from GnuCash about a
system error.
After removing the Bloomberg entry from Quotes.pm everything worked
normally.
Any ideas on that? Has anybody added Bloomberg module to GnuCash on Windows?

Actually *mailman's* webmanagement sites do work well from dialup (I use them 
from dialup).

In addtion to cutting down a lot of mature trees (most not on my land), I
would also need to slice off the top of hill. I am another "nobody" who still
uses dialup (limited to 33K because Verizon does not bother to maintain the
phone lines).

OR you can follow these instructions because "mailman" can be sent 
orders with batch commands:
"you can also use email to make such changes.  For more info, send 
a message to the '-request' address of
  the list (for example, mailman-requ...@gnucash.org) containing

 and an email message will be sent to you with instructions."

I am sensitive to the possibility that instructions "go to some WEBSITE 
and do thus and so" might not be useful under the circumstances of 
limited bandwidth. For me, may websites are not accessible from home 
(only a 28.8 KBaud dial-up connection) so a "go to website" instruction 
means "the next time you have taken a computer to town where bandwidth 
is available and this particular task has high enough priority compared 
to all the other tasks in the "waiting till bandwidth is available" queue".

This seems strange. Using 2.6.17 on Windows, I did this:

- go to SX Editor
- pick a random SX
- adjust its "frequency" so it appears now due
- go to the "template" tab
- left-click on a random split under "Num"
 (this selects the split, and the column heading changes to "Action")
- left-click on the button in the "Action" field
 (this produces the dropdown list of Actions)
- pick a random Action from the list
- hit "Enter" to confirm the change
- "OK" 
- Actions->Scheduled Transactions->Since Last Run
- go to one of the registers affected by the new txn
- open Split view on the new txn
- observe that the selected Action is indeed present

This works exactly as I would expect it to work. It also lets me type 
arbitrary text into the Action, and that also shows up in the generated 
txn.
