Re: [GNC] New User-Chase Bank Problems
Hello, I remember spending a lot of time to get it to work with my Chase Freedom card. There were 2 things that needed be done. #1, create a UUID and #2, go onto the website after you try it and give access. Summary: 1. Generated a Version 4 UUID here: a. https://www.uuidgenerator.net/version4 2. Entered it in my user settings ClientUID field in the aqbanking wizard - without the dashes 3. Changed the Header version to 103 (was 102) 4. Connect and instant success! Transactions and balance downloaded with no error messages in log. Go to your Chase Secure message box and allow the connection Thanks to Dave Reiser for figuring it out...I basically followed his instructions. If you'd like me to paste the entire email let me know. I saved it along with my summary above.

[GNC] New User-Chase Bank Problems
I was a user of Quicken for as long as I can remember. I'm now trying to get serious about my finances and recently installed GNUCash on my Windows 10 system. I simply installed the software, and built my entire account structure manually, to match exactly what I wanted it to be. Now I need to connect to my bank (Chase) and can't do it. I'm using the AQBanking Wizard and have setup a user account and it won't connect. I started reading lots of messages here then created a new user. This one has the User Name and User Id set to the same name I used with Quicken. I used an online app to generate a Client UID. I've selected JPMorqan Chase Bank as my bank and took the defaults on the Bank Settings page. For the Application Settings, I have an Application ID of "QWIN". The application version is set to 2700 and the header version is set to 103. When I try to retrieve the account list, this is what I get: 14:06:57 Retrieving SSL certificate 14:06:57 Connecting to server... 14:06:57 Using GnuTLS default ciphers. 14:06:57 TLS: SSL-Ciphers negotiated: TLS1.2:ECDHE-RSA-AES-256-GCM:AEAD 14:06:57 Signer not found 14:06:57 Certificate is not trusted 14:06:57 Connected. 14:06:57 Disconnected. 14:06:57 Connection ok, certificate probably received 14:06:57 Operation finished, you can now close this window.

Re: [GNC] How To Handle Prepayments
Many thanks Adrien. I think your explanation works except for a minor detail, after the initial payment is exhausted all payments are after the fact. Each month I submit a report of participant count for the prior month. They will then send me a bill for the amount due. I don't think there is anything prepaid regarding these subsequent payments so I'm pretty sure I can just expense them.

Re: [GNC] How To Handle Prepayments
Thanks Elvis. Because of the casual way the insurance company handles this highly specialized business, only had 5 transactions to post for the entire year. While report monthly I often don't get bills for 2 or 3 months. I ended up doing the Pre-Paid thing for the initial payment, then charging Insurance against that credit each month after I submit my report until it was exhausted. Subsequent payments were expensed directly against Insurance. It took me just few minutes to that this afternoon and I now have much better sense of what my obligation is to them. I care even if they don't. ;-)) Best, Tom -- Original Message -- From: "elvis" To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Sent: 12/15/2018 5:50:49 PM Subject: Re: [GNC] How To Handle Prepayments Unless you really need to do accrual accounting, then don't.

[GNC] How To Handle Prepayments
My Company pays an initial payment to our insurer at the beginning of each policy year. As we incur insurance costs based on event participants, that initial payment is charged. After it is exhausted we get a monthly bill for the amount due. In no case do we ever get the initial payment back. I'd like to treat the initial payment as a credit to insurer's A/P account then each month create a bill for the amount payable. Is this the correct way to handle such a transaction? Assuming it is, how do I credit the amount due from whatever account I posted the initial payment to? In practice we pay the initial payment in February, the start of our paolicy year. Usually, in April or May, the initial payment is exhaused and we have to send more money to pay that month's bill. I'm not at all clear on how to post this situation. I'd appreciate knowing how to do this in GNUCash as well as any comments on the applicable general accounting rules.

Re: [GNC] how to track Futures and Options
I carry options as a stock. Just multiply the contracts by 100 to show shares under options. Regarding commissions, I have a subaccount under the brokerage account labeled “Open Commissions”. When I execute an opening transaction, then the commission is debited to “Open Commissions”. I think of this as a prepaid expense. When I execute a closing transaction, the commission is debited to “Open Commissions” also. And here’s the trick. When I use the lots function to match the two parts of the transaction, I get a realized gain that is then adjusted by crediting the two “Open Commissions”. (I actually do one additional step, which is to change the above “Open Commissions” to “Closed Commissions-CYxx” where xx is the year of the realized gain/loss. By doing this, I have an automatic check that I have accounted for commissions correctly, as the balance of Closed Commissions should always be 0.) So my accounts look like this: Brokerage: AAPL 01/15/2021 230.00 C Transactions: Opening (Sell Call to Open) 09/19/2018 SCO AAPL 01/15/2021 230.00 C -1200.

[GNC] Power Outage affecting code (wiki/email/gncbot)
Hi, Shortly after 10pm EST last night we had a power outage here. This immediately affected our network and shortly thereafter the servers themselves. The power came back somewhere around 12:30am and most of the servers rebooted on their own. I am checking various services now, so if you notice something still missing please let me know. Sorry for the inconvenience. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
