Sorry Fred but that is irrelevant. Of course in general, Finance::Quote 
can fetch time+price pairs but that should irrelevant to GnuCash users. 
GnuCash only needs and wants the very latest price at the time the query 
is done so there is zero justification asking the user to configure 
anything about time. Between them, GnuCash and Finance::Quote, should be 
able to fetch the "latest available" price.

What version of GnuCash are you using?

Geert,

  Thanks for the pointer.


It's odd you don't have the little down-arrow on the toolbar. It's still
there on my Fedora 27 system. Perhaps Slackware is using a different
default gtk3 theme?


  I've no idea. Is the theme set within gnucash or gtk3? I thought there
used to be a gtk-config somewhere, but now all the gtk3 supplements I find
are gtk3-demo, gtk3-demo-application, gtk3-icon-browser, and
gtk3-widget-factory.

The obvious purpose is to let the user group securities by type. If you 
have no use for such a distinction, you can choose to ignore it.

Your timezone determines when midnight (and hence a new day) occurs 
relative to UTC. This may be different from the corresponding offset of a 
given quote-source. And you are not "required" to tell Gnucash what 
timezone your quote-source uses: there is a default.

Re: [GNC] 529 Help New

[Thomas E Moughan]

Hi Khristine...

With our 529 plans, the price we pay for new shares is more than the
"current" price for the share, e.g. we pay $1.10 for a share with a current
value of $1.00!

Have you accounted for this difference in your GnuCash transaction, e.g.
$.10 per share, expensed to a broker fee or some such? This would reduce
your GnuCash total to what would be on the website..

Tom

[GNC] Where to find invoice actions in 3.2?

[Rich Shepard]

  This morning I upgraded from 2.6.21 to 3.2 (on Slackware-14.2) and a
couple of previously-balanced accounts lost their balance.

  The one I'm trying to fix is a vendor invoice entered, posted, and paid on
23 June. The payment check is a transaction in the checking account, but
it's not appearing in the A/P register so that shows an outstanding balance
for that invoice.

  In the 2.x versions there was a little down arrow on the bar above the
accounts tabs where I could post, unpost, and pay outstanding invoices. This
seems to have disappeared and I've not found to where those functions have
been moved. I want to unpost that invoice, the repost it and, if necessary,
re-pay it with the same transaction date, check number, and amount as is
entered in the checking account register.

  Where are these A/P and A/R invoice functions to be found in 3.2?

Re: [GNC] Imbalance-

[Thomas Forrester]

The "Imbalance" account is used when GnuCash knows where one side of the
transaction is going, but not the other.  That's actually a pretty helpful
catch-all account for when GnuCash has undistributed amounts.  During the
import, you can specify the other side of the transaction on the screen
that lists all the transactions found in your bank download.  GnuCash will
try to automatch based upon previous transactions that appear to be the
same as one just downloaded, but may have found something completely new,
or not yet figured out what to do with a transaction.  In particular, look
for the ones marked "New, Unbalanced...".  You can double click the entry
and tell GnuCash where the other side of the transaction should go.

You can delete the account, I suppose, but I think GnuCash would just
recreate it next time it finds it needs it.  It's a necessary account since
GnuCash has to have somewhere to put unbalanced amounts.  The goal
shouldn't be to eliminate it, but keep it at a zero balance since a
non-zero balance indicates a problem with a transaction somewhere.  It's a
red flag account.  Preventing it from populating requires making sure all
transactions have corresponding debit and credit accounts (totalling to the
same amount if split).

Chris,

 

Yes thanks. I actually discovered that myself later on. Obviously it was 
picking up some other US stock called WES.

 

I find this online quote stuff needlessly confusing though. I fretted trying to 
work out what to configure as the "Type" for my stocks given none of the 
default ones (NASDAQ, EUREX, etc) seemed appropriate to my ASX stocks. Also, 
that field is confusingly called "Namespace" when you look in the securities 
editor. Then I eventually discovered the Type/Namespace field serves no purpose 
whatever and can be configured to whatever you want to make up! That field 
should be removed. Also, why is it required to configure a timezone? The 
software is only after the latest quote price and should be able to hide that 
complexity from the user.

Hi Mark,

You need to add suffix ".AX" to the "Symbol" in the Security Editor.
E.g. CBA.AX  
This tells Finance::Quote to use the price from the ASX using currency AUD.

Regards, Chris Good

 

Hi Mark,

I believe the security Type/Namespace is used to group securities in the 
security editor and Price Editor.

For those with many securities that is probably very useful. You should 
probably create a type called ASX for your aussie stocks. That’s what I did 
IIRC.

I don’t know why the timezone is needed but presumably it is.

The documentation could use some updating. The Help manual section about the 
Security Editor needs updating re Yahoo stopping providing most stock prices. 
Any help gratefully accepted :-)

Regards, Chris
