Re: [GNC] Unwanted Rate Column on Credit Card Register ???

[Derek Atkins]

It's always there on every register.  Normally it is only 1 pixel wide.  So 
grab the right side of the header of the column and drag it to the left to 
reduce it back to 1 pixel wide.  The description column will auto increase 
to fill the space.  Double click on the balance header to get it to optimum 
size.

Enjoy.

[GNC] Unwanted Rate Column on Credit Card Register ???

[Dave H]

For some reason I have a Rate column on the very right of just one of my
credit card register windows.  Can't figure out why it's there, how it got
there, how to get rid of it.  It always seems to just contain the value
1. which I don't find very informative :-)

Any ideas on how to get rid of it, I've tried minimising it to nothing but
it comes back when I reset one on the other columns widths.

If the latter (which is what I suspect you want) then run an Income

Re: [GNC] Expense accounts in bills

[Derek Atkins]

David,

You are doing it all wrong.

You have two choices:  Use Business Features or Not.

If you choose NOT to use the business features, then create a set of ASSET
accounts of the form you have, one account for each member.  If you are
NOT using the business features, then you MUST NOT use A/R and A/P type
accounts.  When you invoice a member, it's a transfer from Income:Dues to
the specific member Asset account.  Then when they pay, it's a transfer
from their Asset to Assets:Checking.

If you choose to use the business features, then you DO NOT need the whole
hierarchy of accounts.  You only need pone A/R account.  You set up each
member as a customer, and then to bill them create an invoice with a
line-item to Income:Dues, and then post the invoice to your A/R account. 
Then when you're done, process payment to transfer from A/R to Checking.

I suggest you revert to a backup before you set this up and start over. 
It'll be easier than trying to clean up.  Alternately, you can unpost all
your invoices, then go through all your A/R accounts and remove all
transactions, then delete all your A/R accounts except the top-level. 
Then you can re-post.

Hope this helps.

-derek

Re: [GNC] Expense accounts in bills

[Adrien Monteleone]

Hmm.. That stinks.

Perhaps an export, delete the A/R types, create Asset type accounts, then 
re-import? Since the transactions would have the same account name, that might 
work. I think you get to map them anyway in the importer.

Other than that, it looks like you have quite a lot of work ahead.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Expense accounts in bills

[david whiting]

Thanks. Unfortunately I can't move transactions to an account that is
of a different type. If I create a new account with type Asset, it
doesn't show up in the list of accounts that I can move the
transactions to. If I change the type AR, it appears, but then once I
have moved the transactions, I can't change it back to type Asset. So
I think I'm stuck.

Re: [GNC] GNUCash Documentation

[Justin Haynes]

Thanks David!

I just want to update the Edit -> Preferences area to start with.  Seems
the development team has been busy.  For example, I posted a message to the
forum on file associations.  The information cropped up in a thread 6
months ago I found later, but had the answers been in the documentation,
people may find them - or at least, we have a link to post when the
question comes up in the forum.

I don't have it handy, but I think I saw a bug already there for updating
section 10 on customizing GNUCash in bugzilla.  If that one doesn't cover
it then I can open a new one.

I currently use GNUCash on Windows and Mac, but I used to use it
exclusively on OpenBSD.  If I'm not mistaken the screenshots are taking
from some LINUX variant, so I'd likely throw the environment needed to do
documentation on a VM with a linux and take the screenshots needed from
that instance.

And on the timing - I will be moving rather slowly on this myself.  My work
commitments are high right now.  I can start a few minutes at a time
getting my environment set up and compiling the documentation to see it
work before I get started working on it.

Re: [GNC] GNUCash Documentation

[David T. via gnucash-user]

Justin,

As one who has worked on the docs before, I say welcome! My only change would 
be to wait longer—say a week—since many are busy with other life 
responsibilities.

Is there a particular area that particularly irks you?

David

Re: [GNC] Expense accounts in bills

[Adrien Monteleone]

Probably because they contain transactions. You should be able to re-assign the 
type to any that are empty.

Note, you shouldn’t need to manually migrate the transactions, as you delete 
the errant accounts, GnuCash should prompt on where to move the transactions. 
Simply select the proper account(s) in that dialog.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Expense accounts in bills

[david whiting]

Ah, yes, you are correct. The accounts I can see are assets and the
other are A/R. The problem I now have is that I don't seem to be able
to change the account type from A/R to asset now that they have been
created as A/R. Looks I might have to create new accounts and migrate
each transaction across, which is going to take some time.

Thanks for your help.

[GNC] Expense accounts in bills

[david whiting]

Hi,

Gnucash Version: 3.3
Build ID: 3.3+ (2018-09-29)
Ubuntu 18.10

I'm using gnucash for a community club where we have members who I
represent in gnucash as Assets:Accounts Receivable:Members:Firstname
Lastname

I need to create bills for members and wish to select the relevent
account receivable in the Expense portion of the bill, i.e. it is an
expense for the member and not for the club. However, very few of the
accounts receivable show up in the selection box. I have got around
this by creating a spreadsheet that I then import to create the bills,
but it means that I need to do extra work to keep that spreadsheet up
to date when new members join.

Is there a limit on the number of accounts that can appear in the
selection box? Is there any other reason why only a handful of the
300+ members show up?

Thanks.

David
