If I'm not mistaken, that is part of the setting for each Scheduled Transaction. You set how many days in advance you want it to remind you. If you would only want same-day, I'm hazarding a guess that "0" days would work. If that doesn't, try "1" day. I don't think this is configurable for all

On MacOS at least, this does not work once you hit the Accounts tab. At that point, the tab takes input as if you are doing a visible-text search. There is no way with the keyboard to navigate off that tab again. (so far as I can figure out) (v5.4 on Monterey) Regards, Adrien On 12/12/23 7:1

More specifically, not just 'within the register' but it will only search in splits tied to that register. So if you have the Bank Account register open and you do a find, but that info is not in a Bank Account split, but say an expense account split, GnuCash will not return it in the results.

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is an Expense account, not Income. What you are looking for is a different type of Income Statement that does not exist in GnuCash. (the basic math is the same, you just are looking for a 'Net Sales' figure by moving COGS to the upper part of the report. This is merel

I can't speak to your chosen solution, but to do this with a Credit Note: 1. Raise the Credit Note, assigning the line items to their proper Expense accounts. This will result in Credit entries (right column) in those affected Expense accounts, where normally Expenses are Debits(left column)

The 'status' can change with the wind. GnuCash, so far, does offer you a wealth of information concerning your activity with each 'vendor' that is most likely useful for information you have *already determined* need a 1099. That is, your question is not a GnuCash question, but a legal one.
