I think the date field width can only be adjusted from the right edge.  At
least that is how it works in older versions.

2019-03-21 Thread suk wah Bernstein
great. thank you. 3.3 so far so good. personally i like the look of 3.3
more, numerals are larger

2 small issues, both regarding DATE column.
- the first digit is only partially visible, e.g. 2/3/2018, the front half
of '2' is cut off.
- the first and half of second digits in NEW ENTRY are cut off

i tried enlarging the left side of window but no effect.

thanks

Re: [GNC] macOS Mojave 10.14.3 cannot open GNUCASH

2019-03-21 Thread John Ralls
You don't have to, you can have as many different GnuCash versions installed on 
a Mac as you like, you just need to either rename them or keep them in 
different directories because they normally all have the same filename. But 
since you're not going to use GnuCash 3.4 any more you might as well trash it.

You should certainly quit GnuCash before starting a different version on the 
same file.

Re: [GNC] End of year rollover

2019-03-21 Thread Adrien Monteleone
For now, the likely best method is exporting and using a spreadsheet for 
multi-period comparisons, though I seem to recall a proper multi-period report 
is in development.

The multi-column report could fit that bill, but as-is, repeats all of the 
account labels which makes things quite cluttered. There is also no way to see 
percentages or variances unless you use a spreadsheet. (or other reporting 
solution)

I find myself looking at odd periods and crossing yearly boundaries more often 
than I find myself comparing two monthly or annual periods. (though I need that 
too) If I had to close the books each year, I’d lose that ability, or at least 
it would be very cumbersome.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] End of year rollover

2019-03-21 Thread Adrien Monteleone
I too worked for a company that had an odd fiscal year - starting Nov 1 because 
that’s when they incorporated. They ran for decades like that till I convinced 
them to do a short year filing and align to the calendar the following year.

Do you mean that GnuCash should require closing the books and carrying over the 
balances? I wouldn’t support that at all. This app isn’t just for official 
annual reports. Many people use reports for analyzing their financial info and 
sometimes it is very useful to run reports for odd periods. Certainly, I’ve 
seen enough people on this list talk about job-tracking features and needs 
where they might have activity they need to report on that spans multiple 
monthly periods (and even parts of those) and also crosses yearly boundaries. 
Forcing a close-book procedure is taking a physical limitation of paper and 
applying it where it doesn’t really need to be.

The act of ‘closing the books’ served the purpose of organization of paper 
journals, as well as generating the consolidated figures to prepare an Income 
Statement. But computers render both of those considerations obsolete. (you can 
prepare the statement without the intervening calculations manually since the 
computer can do it at any time, and organization is up to you. You don’t have 
to keep separate files if you don’t want to.) But some people still are more 
comfortable with that procedure, so they have that option.

Being able to export all business meta data however would be nice. (in a format 
GnuCash could re-import of course)

Regards,
Adrien

But still it’s just one year.

The certain circumstances I mentioned are mainly income tax related:

The financial for farmers ends at 30.06. and for forestry it can be 28.02.

A merchant according to German commercial law can choose a financial
year than the calendar year with approval from the tax office.

However if it’s just a small cash accounting business the financial year
is always the calendar year.

And all I’ve said about different financial years doesn’t apply for VAT
which is always reported for the calendar year, which complicates things
even further.

Kind regards

Sometimes it is better to ask the question than ask "where is this
solution?"

I think your question is
"Using a single file for accounts in Gnucash, how do you make a
comparison between different financial years?"

There is a way of using a multicolumn report to do this. I don't do it,
so I can't advise.
Did I get your question correct?

Here in the US, organizations are free to set up any financial year they
wish.  Many still choose a calendar year, but certainly may are on a
skewed calendar.  Many choose June 30 for the end of the year.  I worked
one place that was Jan 31.

You would have to have GnuCash keep track of multiple files.
Search the code history for Gemini.  There was, at one point, an attempt
at doing this.  But really, searching across multiple files is not as
straightforward as you would think.

There is an importer; I do not believe there is an exporter.

Good. Open it and find lines starting with Exception Type and Thread 1. Drag 
your mouse over all of the lines between those two so that they're highlighted. 
Press Command-C on the keyboard to copy them.

Open a reply to this email and click in the body, then press Command-V to paste 
the lines into the email. Send it.

I don’t know how to say it, but I think GnuCash might be better off with
a balance carry over method into the next year.

At least for me in Germany I can’t think of someone accounting for more
than one year and also only on certain circumstances accounting for
another period than 01.01. to 31.12.

I don’t know whether it would be possible to have an option the gnucash
file for the previous year which would be used comparisson reports.

Is there a way to ex- and import the business related things?

If there were the scenario you’ve described would a bit cumbersome but
still doable.

Kind regards

Christian Kluge

Re: [GNC] Finance::Quotes stopped working for me

2019-03-21 Thread John Ralls
Probably not. What would change is the Perl version and consequently what 
folders @INC points to, but that hasn't changed in the last 5 versions, it's 
been 5.18 since Yosemite.

gnc-fq-dump doesn't use Date::Manip, but if your Date::Manip is broken it's 
quite possible that your Finance::Quote is too. They should be installed in 
/Library/Perl/5.18. I suggest deleting them and running the Finance Quote 
Update again; if you're comfortable with the command line you can just use 
`sudo /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-update` from 
there, that's all that Finance Quote Update does.

John Ralls

Just checked my ancient primer, which starts a new business with a contribution 
of £3000 of capital from John Brown to the Cash Account.

Two ledger pages are created, one called “Cash Account” numbered “L1" and the 
other “Capital Account - John Brown” numbered “L2”.

On the Debit side of L1 there is a entry recording Capital of £3000 received 
from L2.

On the Credit side of L2 there is a corresponding entry of a transfer of Cash 
to L1.

These two separate but linked “Ledger Entries" make up the one “Transaction".

I’d be surprised if the overall process is different in the US, but the 
nomenclature might well diverge.

Michael

What I meant was that the simple transaction is treated as a special case in 
that it appears on one line in the relevant GnuCash register - and in the 
context of some CSV imports might come in as a single line.

I should have thought “Ledger Entry” would work on either side of the Atlantic,

2019-03-21 Thread Adrien Monteleone
I’m not sure ‘ledger entry’ is a prime choice either. If we were to consider 
the pen and paper world, this is done as a ‘journal entry’ but that entry 
always has two components (debit and credit) with at minimum two accounts 
involved. I’m going to dig up my accounting textbook and see how they reference 
the entries but I’m going to hazard an early guess that there is no mention of 
the individual parts of the transaction other than debit/credit.

Re: [GNC] Unable to add prices to some securities

2019-03-21 Thread Adrien Monteleone
Alan,

I’m in agreement with Derek here. Since GnuCash is written using the GTK 
toolkit, which is not native to either Windows or Mac, Linux is the top choice. 
While I use GnuCash daily on Mac, there are a few (though easily worked-around) 
hiccups, such as with multi-monitor setups, application tabs, etc.

The only drawback to Linux is if you aren’t comfortable with building from 
source *and* you always want the latest version without upgrading your OS. Many 
distros keep a fixed version in their repository and newer versions usually 
don’t get backported. So if you want a newer version, you’ll have to build it. 
(usually a not very painful process, but this varies by system and distro 
choice) New versions of GnuCash for Windows and Mac are always just a download 
and click away. One of the devs is working on maintaining a flatpak image from 
here on out, so that should address this case, but it too comes with some 
caveats due to the sandboxed nature of flatpak apps. (external and network 
drive access need special attention, and report printing is limited to first 
printing to file) One user was kind enough to build a .deb backport of 3.4 to 
Ubuntu 18.04 and you can find the links for it in the list archives. Perhaps he 
might do this for 3.5 when it is released as well.

Hope that helps with your decision.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] The Meaning of Split (previously Example of multi-split feature of CSV importer?)

2019-03-21 Thread D via gnucash-user
It seems circular to say that there is a distinction between a simple and 
compound transaction, and then say a simple transaction is a special case 
compound transaction. Then we're back at defining the difference between, say, 
a "split" transaction versus a "multi-split" transaction, which we're trying to 
move away from as justifiably confusing.

Calling one a "simple" transaction, and the others "compound" seems like 
enough. Perhaps the explanation of the technical aspects of this (i.e., the 
structure of a two sided simple, as opposed to an n-sided {n>2} compound 
transaction), could use the term "split," as it is defined by  Gnucash. This 
would disambiguate the use of the term "split," such that it would only be used 
for this specific case. 

Regardless, I am still against the "Ledger entry" locution. 

Perhaps we need a translation from American English to British English...

This is what happens you expand a simple transaction (which has only 2
splits) by clicking on the "Show Splits" button, or change the View to
Split-ledger or Transaction Journal mode.  It will display as a compound
transaction but have only two lines (plus the blank spilt line).

As far as I understand paying a refund doesn't change your income. It only 
moves money from 
one asset account (your bank account) to another asset account (your accounts 
receivable).

Your exact use case is not very clear from your description. What's the reason 
of the refund ?
* Did the customer pay you more than you invoiced ? In that case the income was 
already 
created by the invoice, the (over)payment and refund were merely asset moves.

* Was part of an invoice disputed and the user requested a reduction ? In that 
case you should 
create a credit note first (which would decrease your income), and the refund 
would be to "pay" 
for this credit note.

Geert

Archiving old books is always a good idea.

Restarting at the begining of the year, however, is not necessarily is
good idea.  Specifically, there is a Close Books feature that zero's out
your Income & Expense accounts into Equity, but it doesn't actually
DELETE any data.

Your other option is to Export the account tree which will create an
empty file and then re-open it.  The downside is that you will have to
reset all your opening balances, and if you use any business features
you will need to manually re-enter all that metadata too (customers,
vendors, tax tables, etc).  I highly ANTI-recommend this approach.

Personally, I don't do anything.  All the reports handle year-end
accounting without doing anything special.  I don't mind seeing my
income and expense account balances showing lifetime achievements :)
But that's just me.

Hope this helps,

Re: [GNC] Unable to add prices to some securities

2019-03-21 Thread Alan Taylor
John,

Basically reliability, accuracy and trouble free operation. Not the OS
itself, but GnuCash when running on the OS.

Rightly or wrongly i have the feeling that development time is not
necessary divided equally among the 3 versions ? Nothing wrong with that,
it’s just I don’t particularly care about the OS so if GnuCash has fewer
problems on a particular OS, then i’ll use that one !

Resource use not a factor.

Cheers/Ala

In my opinion (humble or otherwise), I feel that Linux is #1, then
MacOS, and then Windows.  Windows is by far a second-class citizen; none
of the developers actually do main development on Windows, whereas John
DOES do main development on Mac.  Most devs still use Linux.

Of course, just my $0.02, so YMMV.

[GNC] Processing refunds

2019-03-21 Thread Martijn Heuts
Hello,
When I process a refund I pull up the customer's invoice, click on 'Pay 
invoices' and enter therefund amount in the 'refund' column.
My P report did not show a difference when I compared it before and after 
processing the refund.Is there another way I should process the refund or is 
there a better report to show this refund?
I would think the total income on the P should be less the refund.
Thanks for giving my better insight in GNUcash!

Re: [GNC] The Meaning of Split (previously Example of multi-split feature of CSV importer?)

I like the terminology “simple” versus “compound”, but I do not understand what 
is meant by a “ two-line simple transaction as a special case of a compound 
transaction.”

Right. So would "simple transaction" vs "compound transaction" be a good 
candidate for 
better terminology ?
