Re: [GNC] Saving entries and storing it on desktop

[Adrien Monteleone]

Using a Mac?

You need to install the application (by copying it) to the /Applications folder 
on your system. Then launch it from /Applications, right-click the icon in the 
Dock and choose Options > Keep In Dock.

After you’ve saved your file. The next time you open it (from the dock) it will 
automatically open your previous file.

*DO NOT* attempt to run GnuCash (or any application really) from within the 
downloaded .dmg file. You might get lucky with certain apps, but probably won’t.

Regards,
Adrien

[GNC] Saving entries and storing it on desktop

[Mazama Professional Services via gnucash-user]

Please help. I have a new computer and need to put Gnucash on it and save it, 
so that I can use it throughout the year. I can download it, and I can set up 
an account for my small business, but when I go to save and close my entries, I 
don’t know what to do.

I entered a bunch of things earlier in the month, saved them, then went in last 
night and added new entries, but today I cannot find any of them.

In addition, what I have found so far is that I have to download Gnucash every 
time I want to use it, versus having it on my dock. That doesn’t seem right 
either.

Any help out there?

Marie Laper

Re: [GNC] Fwd: [gnucash-de] Reversed banlanced accounts setting does not work in reports

[Raimund Strehl]

Thank you David,
Now I found the change of subject in the thread. And there is a link to the 
code there as well.
I agree with the thread poster that one should display the reversed subtotal 
amount honoring the setting and calculate the rand total with a negative sign.
I am not a coder, but I will have a look whether I understand anything.

Raimund,


I saw the same issues recently.

The changes you see are purposeful. In order to make the totals add up, the 
person changed the way that the transaction report handles this setting. As I 
am not a programmer, I am not able to delve in to try and find a fix for it.I

GnuCash 3.2 on Windows 10:



Reports such as Transaction report do not respect the "reverse balanced 
accounts" setting on subtotals for income accounts.



Individual transactions will show be shown reversed, but not account subtotals



e.g.



GnuCash 2.6.21 "reverse balanced accounts" to reverse sign on income accounts



Income account X:

Transaction A 200 EUR

Transaction B 300 EUR

Total 500 EUR



GnuCash 3.2 "reverse balanced accounts" to reverse sign on income accounts



Income account X:

Transaction A 200 EUR

Transaction B 300 EUR

Total -500 EUR





I assume it is a bug in the reporting function.

This bug seems to have appeared between version 2.6.21 and 3.2

Does anyone know the reason for this or a fix for this?



Thanks for any hints

Ray

[GNC] Mortgage & Loan Repayment Crashes GnuCash

[Don Billings]

I am new to GnuCash and converting from Quicken.  So far, I like the
program.  I am trying to set up a mortgage repayment for an old mortgage in
order for GnuCash to calculate the interest each month.  I enter the
information on the two page (first entry page) with the original mortgage
information (amount, date, percent,...), click next to see the escrow
page.  I enter nothing as I do not pay extra to escrow accounts.  When I on
click next, GnuCash crashes without a message.

I am running version 3.4 build id 3.4+ (2018-12-30) on a Windows 10
laptop.  Windows 10 is version 1809 (OS build 17763.253).

I need to know how to see what the error is and then how to correct it if
it is data related.  Any help will be appreciated as I am currently still
using Quicken and doing double entry until I know GnuCash will work.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Don

Re: [GNC] Almost ready to give up

Personally, I gave up on it a long time ago and either download the ofx, or 
manually enter the transactions.  This can all be done via simple key commands, 
and surprisingly quick.

Re: [GNC] Almost ready to give up

[Ronal B Morse]

Michael, I feel your pain.  I miss Quicken's "one click
import" feature, too. I blame Intuit...they kept getting the
banks to mess around with the authentication process and data
formats, plus their lack of documentation and pointed desire
to not help developers of other applications made things
worse then they had to be. 

That said, if you don't mind a few extra steps and a (very)
few minutes of clicking around the screen, here's the method
I use to download and enter transactions from my Chase credit
cards and checking account to Gnucash. 

1. Open the Chase web site, log in with your usual user
credentials and navigate to the activity page of the account
you want to process.  About halfway down the page there will
be a menu bar with some icons...the "download activity" icon
(looks like a down arrow pointing at an in basket) will be
near the far right. Clicking on the icon will open a dialog
where you specify the date range and file type.  I always use
the ofx/qfx format because it seems most reliable. Click
download to save your transactions and note the file name and
location where it is saved.  

Repeat as desired for other Chase accounts, making sure you
have a unique name for each transaction download. Chase does
this automagically now, but that wasn't always the case. 
Some institutions just give you a "transaction.ofx" file name
for every account.  

When finished, log out of the Chase web site and close the
browser for security's sake. 

Start GnuCash, open the account register for the first
account you want to process.  Click on  then .
Select the file type (in my case it's ofx/Qfx) then select
the file you downloaded for that account from the navigator.
Click "import".

That opens the transaction matching window. The options are
described in detail in the GnuCash documentation. For me, the
automatcher gets most of the transactions correct and I just
have to check the appropriate box for the ones it does not
match. 

Repeat for other accounts as appropriate. Done. 

This method is certainly not as convenient as a one click
download like Quicken does, but at least it works and is
reliable and consistent.  I use it with Chase, Bank of
America (checking and credit card), wife's Target Bank Credit
Card, USAA (checking, credit card) and my Charles Schawb cash
sweep checking account.   

I don't use Gnucash to track investment portfolio activity,
so I can't help with that. Every time I get interested in
sciencing out a solution for the potfolio I decide Chuck's
Schawb's web portal already tells me more than I want to know
(lately, anyway) and it is their problem to maintain it.

Re: [GNC] custom .chk file crashes GnuCash 3.4

[John Ralls]

You are, but GnuCash shouldn’t crash if the .chk file is in the wrong place. 
Please file a bug. If you can get a stack trace of the crash that will help a 
lot.

Re: [GNC] How to save my file

[Adrien Monteleone]

Save the file (default format is XML) anywhere you want. Though I’d recommend 
*not* on the desktop as the app will generate log files in the same folder as 
your data file and these may quickly fill up the screen.

When Gnucash is running, right-click its Dock icon and choose Options > “Keep 
in Dock”.

Next time you want to run Gnucash, launch it from the dock and it will open the 
last used file automatically. (navigating to where you saved the file and 
double-clicking does not work on a Mac)

Also, be certain you actually installed the application to your /Applications 
folder (by copying it there from the .dmg you downloaded) and are not simply 
launching it from within the .dmg folder.

Regards,
Adrien

[GNC] I can't get the budget feature to work.

[Lorrie Laskey]

Hi all,

I created a 12 -period 2019 budget and entered child-level expenses and
income.

The expenses have a total in the spreadsheet but are not showing up at the
bottom of the spreadsheet. Expenses still display as "0".

What am I missing?

[GNC] How to save my file

[mlaper]

I’m not a techy. I cannot figure out how to save my workbook/record
I’m on 3.4 on a Mac. I’ve used previous version without a problem. I close out; 
it asks me if I want to save; I say yes, it closes and the gnucash icon is on 
my dock for the next entries 

In this version, on this computer, it asks me to save. As a xml. Where do I 
save it? I have no icon on my dock.  And the last 2 times I wanted to use it, 
I’ve had to download the whole thing from website and wait for that process

Any easy, step by step help out there. 
Or is more info from me needed

I did not have this problem on earlier version

[GNC] Almost ready to give up

[Michael Mantei]

I really want to get away from Quicken.  I've been trying gnucash for a 
little over 2 months now, but I can't get the bank transfers to work. 
I'm no closer now than I was 2 months ago.


This is where I am at...
    0. I'm using gnuCash versioin 3.4 and the bundled aqbanking on a 
Windows 10 PC
    1. I generated a version 4 UUID at 
https://www.uuidgenerator.net/version4
    2. I entered my bank account username in both the User Name and 
User ID fields
    3. I entered the generated UUID in the user setting ClientUId field 
in the aqbanking wizard, without any dashes
    4. On the Bank Settings tab, I searched for JPMorgan Chase Bank and 
let it fill the fields.
    5. On the Application Settings tab I have the Application ID set to 
QWIN, the Application Version set to 2700 and the Header Version set to 103.
    6. I save this info then exit out. After re-entering gnucash and 
restarting the aqbanking wizard, I go to the Bank Settings tab and click 
on Retrieve Account List.
    7. I am prompted for my password end enter it. I then see the 
following:

        21:51:30 Saving communication log to /tmp/ofx.log
        21:51:30 Sending request...
        21:51:30 Using GnuTLS default ciphers.

        21:51:30 Signer not found
        21:51:30 Certificate is not trusted
        21:51:30 Waiting for response...
        21:51:30 Operation finished, you can now close this window.
    The OFX.LOG file contains the following:
        Sending:

    8. This is all I ever see, regardless of how often I do it. There 
are no messages available on the Chase website. Quicken works fine, but 
AQBanking gives me nothing.
    9. I've tried everything I can think of for 2 months, but my 
knowledge of the products is very limited and I've figured nothing out 
other than it won't work.
    10. I've tried posting to what appear to be aqbanking message 
lists, but have no luck getting my posts to take. Any help would be 
appreciated.


Thanks,
Mike

Re: [GNC] Fwd: [gnucash-de] Reversed banlanced accounts setting does not work in reports

Sorry. The start of the thread is misleading. Following the thread, you will 
see that with 
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2019-January/082031.html the 
discussion turns to precisely the issue you're asking about.

Thank you. But this thread does not handle the fact that the “reverse balanced

Unfortunately I am not a programmer, but if someone can point me to where the 
file for the general ledger report is saved, I can have a look and maybe try to 
figure out how to correct the mistake.

Remember, this was correctly implemented in 2.6 and then disappeared.

Raimund,


I saw the same issues recently.

The changes you see are purposeful. In order to make the totals add up, the 
person changed the way that the transaction report handles this setting. As I 
am not a programmer, I am not able to delve in to try and find a fix for it.I

The thread from the last couple of weeks goes into more detail.

reports
Datum: Sat, 19 Jan 2019 23:02:47 +
Von: Raimund Strehl 
An: gnucash...@gnucash.org 

GnuCash 3.2 on Windows 10:



Reports such as Transaction report do not respect the "reverse balanced 
accounts" setting on subtotals for income accounts.



Individual transactions will show be shown reversed, but not account subtotals



e.g.



GnuCash 2.6.21 "reverse balanced accounts" to reverse sign on income accounts



Income account X:

Transaction A 200 EUR

Transaction B 300 EUR

Total 500 EUR



GnuCash 3.2 "reverse balanced accounts" to reverse sign on income accounts



Income account X:

Transaction A 200 EUR

Transaction B 300 EUR

Total -500 EUR





I assume it is a bug in the reporting function.

This bug seems to have appeared between version 2.6.21 and 3.2

Does anyone know the reason for this or a fix for this?



Thanks for any hints

Ray

Even people who ARE "banked" might have to do this. For example, were 
they in an environment where lots of their transactions had to be in 
cash. Not just a matter if THEY are "banked" but if the other people 
they are interacting with are.

Re: [GNC] custom .chk file crashes GnuCash 3.4

[Mike stagl]

Upon further investigation, it appears that having any custom check
file in the folder ~/.local/share/gnucash/checks will cause this crash,
even a working file copied from the GnuCash checks folder (with an
altered name and GUID).

I instead placed my custom file in my GNC_DATA_HOME folder (for me
/usr/local/share/gnucash/checks) and it appears to work again.

Maybe I wasn't supposed to have my custom file in USER_DATA_HOME?

Just my experiences,

Re: [GNC] New Budget Bar Chart Not Displaying

[Adrien Monteleone]

This means the date range for the report (default is start & end of current 
accounting period) does not match the budget.

For example, I opened a chart for the 2018 budget and got a blank page.

When I changed the date range to start & end of previous year, I got charts for 
my selected accounts with budget and actual bars.

[GNC] custom .chk file crashes GnuCash 3.4

[Mike stagl]

Gnucash 3.4 on Debian 9

I have been using a custom check format (.chk) file I wrote for GnuCash
3.2.  It worked fine until I upgraded to 3.4.  When I go to File->Print 
Checks, GnuCash 3.4 crashes before the dialog box even opens.

If I delete the custom .chk file and open GnuCash 3.4, it will print a
default check format fine.

I rolled back to GnuCash 3.2 and my custom file prints fine.

Did anything change with 3.4 that I would need to modify in my .chk
file?

Re: [GNC] New Budget Data Date Range

[Adrien Monteleone]

Not the options for the Budget report, the options for the Budget.

Open your budget. Click the Options icon in the toolbar.

You’ll see a setting for Budget Period “beginning on” and make sure it is not 
for 4 years ago. (not sure why it would be without intentionally setting it.)

amounts entered in asset and liability cells.

So entering expenses should not affect it.

I wouldn’t necessarily budget income to the checking account. (unless you need 
to budget *where* you put your money physically)

Simply enter your projected income amounts in the income account(s) and 
expenses in their respective accounts.

Using asset and liability accounts in the budget is more useful for budgeting 
*some* of income to perhaps a savings account, or to pay down a liability. 
(such as a car note or home mortgage)

I also wouldn’t consider credit card payments in the budget unless you’re 
budgeting the paying down of a large pre-existing balance, because otherwise, 
your expense accounts is where you account for what was spent on the card.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Reconciliation is not adding up correctly - what to do??

[Adrien Monteleone]

Sorry to break this to you after the fact, but GnuCash could have moved all 
those transactions for you in a second or two.

In the future:

1. Create new account
2. Delete old account
3. When GnuCash asks you what to do with all those transactions, tell it the 
new account to move them to.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] New Budget Data Date Range

That is what I thought. How do I change the budget date range? I can't find
such settings in the options for the budget.

Hello,

I am a new GC user.
I cannot start GNUCash on windows 10, I see the start image and tips of the
day box for a second then nothing happens.
Tried with 3.4 and 2.6...
Tried comparability mode to no avail.

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Re: [GNC] Cash Account Question

[David T. via gnucash-user]

Lorrie,
John's suggestion will work. 
Assuming of course that you spent this cash, then you create transactions of 
some sort that move this cash to some expense account. John's technique will 
work, although it doesn't provide any information about how you have spent the 
money. 
I try occasionally to create transactions that allocate my cash along the lines 
of how I think I actually spent it.  So, something like:
Assets:Cash  -200Expenses:Dining  75Expenses:Household 125
Granted, at this point, it's all making things up, but it can help when running 
various reports to have numbers that might relate to reality. 
Of course, some people actually track their actual cash expenses, actually. I 
just never had that much dedication. 

Cheers,David

What kind of account (i.e. asset, expense, etc.) is it and what’s an example of 
a transaction involving it?

I don’t track cash either and use an “expenses:cash” account to balance cash 
withdrawals. Is it something like that?

John Ralls

[GNC] Questions about Future Scheduled Transactions Summary

[gnucash . dgr9z]

Hi all,

I've never used the Future Scheduled Transactions Summary report before and am 
not sure if the generated report contents I'm seeing are per design.

I have a scheduled transaction that records a monthly phone expense against a 
bank account. It prompts for a variable. 

The report has a balance column, but it is zero'd out *except* for the checking 
account, which seems to report the change to the balance at the end of the 
reporting period, not the balance. Is this correct?

Since the transaction prompts for a value, what is the reported decrease in the 
value of the account based on? Is it projected from the most recent run, an 
average of all historic runs or something else?

Finally, I'm not clear on why the reported reduction in the checking account is 
not matched by a reported increase in the expense account. If checking is 
reported as -504 for the year, why does the phone account not show a 
corresponding +504?

Thanks for any clarification.

Ron

Re: [GNC] Problems with Budget

[Adrien Monteleone]

On a side note, it turns out I was mistaken about that Mailman functionality. 
Apparently, if I’m in the recipient list, I get that message (no way for 
Mailman to prevent that as it is handled independently) but Mailmain simply 
doesn’t send me its own copy. As a result, and since the sender composes in 
HTML, I received the HTML version instead of the usual plain text version I 
prefer from Mailman. (odd that Mail.app doesn’t allow me to specify plain text 
receipt, only plain text sending)

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Problems with Budget

[Adrien Monteleone]

Peter,

You copied the list which is the important part. While you included me, I only 
get the list copy. (that used to not happen, I think a mailman bug or setting 
was fixed) On that note, please *DO NOT* e-mail me only (and not the list) 
concerning GnuCash questions unless invited to do so. The wiki covers this 
etiquette question. Certainly, not getting a prompt reply is no cause for such 
action, and it isn’t likely to get you a faster response. Everyone is a 
volunteer here. I’m just a user like you that occasionally helps others on the 
list where I can. I’m not part of the development team—and they’d prefer you 
use the list.

To your question, check your settings for the budget. I’ve encountered 
something similar in the recent past (and posted a thread about it) and it took 
me some time to track it down. It hinged on the setting for ’same week and day’.

It caused me to see results which didn’t seem to take into account transactions 
posted in a particular period because they weren’t directly comparable across 
periods of different lengths. (the setting ’normalizes’ period lengths so you 
aren’t comparing a 28 day month to a 31 day month) If you have this enabled, 
uncheck it and see if this resolves your dilemma. Otherwise, I can’t say I have 
a solution for you.

Regards,
Adrien

[GNC] Problems with Budget

[Peter Jackson]

Dear Adrien,
Please forgive me for sending this direct to you, but I've had no reply
from my posting on the 20th, which read:

I have just noticed that the budget total figures are no longer correct.
Thus for example, in Expenses Budget , the displayed  Monthly total at the
top of the column for each month does not equal the sum of the individual
account budgets.

This imbalance then reflects across all budget reports.

I am pretty certain that this is a new issue, as I tend to balance
regularly with a spreadsheet.

Any suggestions

Thanks

Peter
