[GNC] Credit card account with two cards
Hello, I’m wondering if anyone has dealt with multiple credit cards under a single credit card account? My spouse and I each have a credit card under a single credit card account. We make purchases on our separate credit cards. Each month I receive a single bill for both cards. The bill separates my purchases and my spouses into two separate lists and sum them up. I’ve set up my accounts in GnuCash like this: -Credit Card --My Card --My Spouse’s Card This account structure allows me to separate purchases between cards. I can reconcile the account including sub-accounts every month, however I can’t confirm each transaction is entered under the proper card. Does anyone have experience or suggestions to this?

Re: [GNC] Credit card account with two cards
I’m guessing you mean you can’t verify the account from the reconcile window... Before opening the Reconcile window, as a first step, I’d go through each account and mark the matching transactions from the statement as ‘cleared’ by clicking the R column. (changing the flag from ’n’ to ‘c’) Then when you open the Reconcile window, those will have green checks by them. If all is well, then the balance *should* be zero and you can just click to finish the reconciliation, else you might have to edit something, or enter a balancing transaction until you can track down the error.

Re: [GNC] Credit card account with two cards
I forgot to mention that you might also run a Reconciliation Report as a first/early step. The report can be made to show only unreconciled and/or cleared transactions. Then you’re looking at each sub-account (card) separately and can make sure everything is where it belongs, then proceed with the Reconciliation.

Re: [GNC] Credit card account with two cards
Zacharie, I have a bank account with two debit cards that have different card numbers. In my case the bank does not separate the transactions by card number in the monthly statement, but the last four digits of the card number is in their description field which maps into the GnuCash Notes field during the import. I am not sure how I could separate them before or during the import, but at least there is a property which differentiates them. I think that I could do a find based on one of the numbers after the import to temporarily separate them in the find results, then move one set to the other sub-account before proceeding to the reconciliation step. Perhaps you could do something similar.

Nope, this is handled by Employee Expense Vouchers. If you have an employee card, when you enter an expense you can mark it as Cash or Card, which dictates whether to reimburse the employee or put it on a (corporate) credit card. Multiple employees can "share" the CC account. This doesn't really help the non-biz case. For the OP I think the answer is subaccounts. You and spouse have subaccounts of the master CC acct. When you reconcile you can click the check-box for the top-level CC to include subaccounts so you can reconcile the whole shebang. > One of the organizations for which I am treasurer has this. > Unfortunately I am not going to be of much help suggesting how to treat, > as such low volume I don't bother with downloading from the bank << only > one of the authorized persons charges "frequently" and even he rarely as > many as 2-3 transactions/month-- the rest don't average even 2/year >> -derek > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -- 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.

I might be missing something, but I’m reading that Mike is referencing the example of corporate card, not expenses paid by an employee that is to be reimbursed. The company pays the card -always. A family business I used to work for had this for several cards. The business had multiple owners/manages with cards having their own names but identical digits. (some banks instead issue cards that have different digits, but still technically the same account) There was no reimbursement issue. It was simply for convenience and tracking as opposed to having one physical card. > > Multiple employees can "share" the CC account. > > This doesn't really help the non-biz case.

That is what they are doing already but noted that the Reconcile window doesn’t display the sub-account for each transaction. They are just all lumped together. So if you are also needing to make sure you entered them in the right sub-account, you have to do that prior to hitting that Reconcile button.

Re: [GNC] Unable to modify existing database
Usually "unable to obtain a lock" means that the previous instance of GnuCash crashed or was force-stopped. But you say that didn't happen, and if it had then you would not get the "unable to create a backup" error when trying to save the file. That error suggests that for some reason you do not have the ability to write to the directory (in Windows, "folder") where your main GnuCash data file lives. It could be a permissions problem, or it could be that the disk is full -- anything that prevents files from being written. If my analysis is right, you get "unable to obtain the lock" because GnuCash is unable to create the .lck file -- again pointing to permissions problem in that directory or folder. -- Regards, Stan Brown Tompkins County, New York, USA https://BrownMath.com http://OakRoadSystems.com On 2019-09-25 12:48, Sadhna True wrote: > When I open GnuCash, I get the error message "unable to obtain a lock."

Sure. And my wife is an authorized user of one of my credit cards and, as a result, has her own -- but the bill is consolidated. For a non-biz use case I don't know that the "expense voucher" is the right solution. It's a very heavy-weight operation to keep track of his vs hers transactions.

Re: [GNC] Unable to modify existing database
You shouldn’t suddenly have a permissions issue if all was working properly before. Make sure you are trying to save the file either in your own user folder or on a thumb drive. (or network share) Some users have reported here that trying to save files to C:\ or other locations have a chance to trigger the problem, especially on more recent versions of Windows. (10 in particular) Also, make sure you are not logged into the computer using the ‘guest’ account if there is one. Those accounts usually can’t save files to the hard drive (but could to a thumb drive) and would likely trigger this as well.

Re: [GNC] Unable to modify existing database
I have not changed the location where the files are saved (in my user folder on the C:\ drive). It has always worked in the past.

[GNC] Import bug? no account matching options
I'm trying to import transactions I've downloaded from Chase in a QIF file but when I'm importing Gnucash doesn't give me any options to match them to an account (zero accounts in the list) and the button to change the matched account is grayed out. This is happening with 2 separate Chase accounts and I am able to import transactions from another bank just fine.

Re: [GNC] Unable to modify existing database
My recollection is spotty but that sounds familiar. Maybe related, (or the same person) a few weeks ago someone could only save using Win10 to a thumb drive - for any app. They settled on continuing to do so and not proceeding down the rabbit hole further as far as I know. If the user has access to their alleged user files, then they aren’t logged in as a guest, so that isn’t the problem. If permissions are all set to ‘allow’ then that is ruled out. That would leave either some sort of security measure (as you alluded to) or a drive space issue. (which supposedly isn’t the problem here either) I’m not familiar with Win10’s security measures at the moment. Perhaps they have some sort of ’trusted apps’ list where GnuCash can be white-listed similar to firewall settings. What is odd is that if this is the issue, why aren’t *many* more people reporting problems? (there are certainly plenty of Win10 users here) Regards, Adrien p.s. -a cursory web search turns up some advice linked to Windows Defender ‘Controlled Folder Access’. The suggestion is to turn this feature off. I should think though one could white-list an app instead so it isn’t all or nothing, but I don’t have a copy of Win10 to verify that hunch. > On Sep 25, 2019 w39d268, at 2:51 PM, Colin Law wrote: > > Wasn't there an issue posted recently about Windows deciding that > gnucash was a malicious app and not letting it write anything to disk? > > Colin ___ 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.

Re: [GNC] Unable to modify existing database
Problem solved! Adrien & Colin were correct - the issue was with Windows Defender (I am running Windows 10). There must have been a recent update that created this problem, not sure. In any case, I fixed it by opening Windows Security in Settings and then going to Controlled Folder Access. I clicked on "Allow an App through Controlled Folder Access," found the GnuCash .exe file, and selected it. When I reopened the GnuCash app, everything worked normally (no more error messages).

Re: [GNC] OFX import for Multiple Visa
On this topic: The import was successful but the transactions were put into the old VISA account instead of GnuCash asking me what account they should go to. Maybe this is a developer question but how does GC know what account to put the transactions into? Which brings me back to a question I asked previously about resetting the OFX import to GC account mapping. ... I have one possible workaround that I have used (albeit with version 2.6) to change the OFX-to-gnucash-account mapping in situation like that: First, create a backup of your gnucash file, just in case. Then create a temporary account, call it "placeholder". Give it properties just like the old VISA account that is unfortunately getting all your new transactions. Then on the VISA account, click to Delete Account. Gnucash will then ask you if you want to move the transactions into some other account instead of losing them. Go ahead and move them to the "placeholder" account and allow it to delete the (empty) visa account. Now rename "placeholder" to be "VISA". After all those gymnastics, you are pretty much back where you started, i.e. should still have your old VISA data just as it was before. But next time you import OFX transactions, they won't go to VISA: instead gnucash will ask the (one time) questions about where they should go, and it sets up a new mapping accordingly. --gary ___ 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.

Re: [GNC] Suggestion to ease newbies import problems

Re: [GNC] Transactions Associations
Transaction associations are not formed automatically on imported data. The purpose of the feature is to associate an external file such as an image or pdf file of a receipt or invoice or other documentation to a transaction entry in GnuCash so that if you need to view it, it can be opened from within Gnucash. If by Transaction Associstaions you are referring to the assignment of a transfer account in the window called the Generic Import Matcher, this is not done from the menu. The documentation is in the process of being rewritten and updated at the moment and the current documentation is not as clear as I wold like. Generally single left clicking on a row in the import matcher will select it. Ctrl-left click will add to the selection. Double clicking on the row will either bring up a dialog to examine the match if a row is not to be imported or if it is marked for import it will bring up the dialog to assign the account for a second split. The following is a link to the help manual under development in a shared folder on my dropbox. It is still under development but the section on importing transactions in the chapter on transactions may help you. It hasn't been fully reviewedand accepted by the documentation team at this stage. If you do use it I would certainly appreciate any feedback on clarity and anything which doesn't work as described. To use it paste the following link into a browser, look for the file help.html in the folder the webpage opens at and doubleclick on it. This should give you the help manual index on the page. The importing is discussed towards the end of chapter 6. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dqvn0owqleud2g3/AACsnyg0W-3Qbb4UcddTP6ATa?dl=0 David Cousens - David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ 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.

Re: [GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 198, Issue 52
- I am the person that had the problem. Windows defender blocked gnucash, quicken and open office. I posted a fix but I did not save it. On my wife's computer quicken listed the programs that were blocked and was an easy fix. My computer I went into settings and found windows defender settings and unchecked. If you can't find it I will look tomorrow. Was not very nice of MS to do this.

The suggestion is to turn this feature off. I should think though one could white-list an app instead so it isn?t all or nothing, but I don?t have a copy of Win10 to verify that hunch.

Re: [GNC] Transactions Associations
Thanks Dave. I tried all the clicking I could think of and the only one that did anything was when I selected the "R" box on the import screen for an item and then double clicked on that row. A window titled "Select Matching Existing Transaction" and the bottom part of that window labeled "Potential Splits..." was blank. I downloaded your guide, I will give it a read. iii On Thursday, September 26, 2019, 2:16:18 AM UTC, David Cousens wrote: Transaction associations are not formed automatically on imported data. The purpose of the feature is to associate an external file such as an image or pdf file of a receipt or invoice or other documentation to a transaction entry in GnuCash so that if you need to view it, it can be opened from within Gnucash. If by Transaction Associstaions you are referring to the assignment of a transfer account in the window called the Generic Import Matcher, this is not done from the menu. The documentation is in the process of being rewritten and updated at the moment and the current documentation is not as clear as I wold like. Generally single left clicking on a row in the import matcher will select it. Ctrl-left click will add to the selection. Double clicking on the row will either bring up a dialog to examine the match if a row is not to be imported or if it is marked for import it will bring up the dialog to assign the account for a second split. The following is a link to the help manual under development in a shared folder on my dropbox. It is still under development but the section on importing transactions in the chapter on transactions may help you. It hasn't been fully reviewedand accepted by the documentation team at this stage. If you do use it I would certainly appreciate any feedback on clarity and anything which doesn't work as described. To use it paste the following link into a browser, look for the file help.html in the folder the webpage opens at and doubleclick on it. This should give you the help manual index on the page. The importing is discussed towards the end of chapter 6. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dqvn0owqleud2g3/AACsnyg0W-3Qbb4UcddTP6ATa?dl=0 David Cousens - David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ 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.

Re: [GNC] Import bug? no account matching options
It'll be very useful to file on bugs.gnucash.org attaching a small anonymized qif file.
