The problem is that the business features can’t *see* your manual transactions. If that isn’t an issue, then there is no problem. But this only applies to the default AP account. Other payable accounts you create should be of type ‘liability’ and you can manually enter stuff there all you want. (there can be only one account of either *type* AP or AR) > > Is it really that important that I use the bill/payment system for these > transactions? And once I do so, can I safely split them afterward? You can model your real world transactions either manually or via using the business features, but I’m not sure what you mean by ’split afterward’. Bills and invoices can only be edited if they are not posted. (you can unpost, edit, repost if you like) Payments need to be edited by right-clicking and using ‘Edit payment.’ Any other *change* to *existing* transactions either can’t be done, or shouldn’t be done. But you can make further manual transactions all you want.

[GNC] How to accurately record Use Tax
I make purchases for which I owe state Use Tax on. It's important for me to record the Use Tax liability at the time it becomes a liability, but only record it as an expense at the time that I pay it. I have several accounts for this, but the important ones are: * "Future Expense(A/P):MI Use Tax", a top-level Accounts Payable account. * "Expenses:MI Use Tax" * "Liabilities:MI Use Tax" When I make a purchase that I owe use tax on, I make a split transaction: * decrease an asset account by the amount I paid, and increase the expense account by the amount I paid (not including the unpaid use tax). * increase the "Liabilities:MI Use Tax" and increase "Future Expense(A/P):MI Use Tax" In the next year when I remit the Use Tax to my state, I create another split transaction for the amount I pay in use tax: * decrease whatever asset account, and decrease "Liabilities:MI Use Tax" * decrease "Future Expense(A/P):MI Use Tax", and increase "Expenses:MI Use Tax". This method allows me to keep the Use Tax that I pay recorded in the proper year - I can't record it as an expense at the time I buy the item, because I haven't paid that portion of it yet, and I don't want to have to remember that come next tax season. I am not using the default "Liabilities:Accounts Payable" account because it would negate "Liabilities:MI Use Tax", and would always look like I have a zero tax liability which would be incorrect. So this setup seems to work, but I'm unsure about the GnuCash documentation which says: "Transactions involving an Accounts Payable account should not be added, changed or deleted in any way other than by using post/unpost bill/invoice/voucher or process payment" I don't use the payment system (yet), but why is it such a problem to manually enter A/P transactions? Is it really that important that I use the bill/payment system for these transactions? And once I do so, can I safely split them afterward?

That removed it's reconciled state in the bank account from which the payment had been made (naturally, it was no longer against that account).

Re: [GNC] Non monetary transactions?
Rod, I would be keeping these as a diary entry if there is no monetary component involved. I have an electronic diary/calendar/task list/memos open on my desktop at all time synced with my smart phone and a cloud server and I can record entries from both. You can usually setup separate personal/business files in most software of this type. Optimum products will depend upon OS etc. Filing taxes though may create a future liability to pay the tax which, if you estimate the tax you will pay when you file, you could post as a liability and then correct and pay when the tax is assessed and billed. In Australia our tax submission forms and software have always had a section for estimating the tax we will have to pay. It is generally at least ball park and usually pretty good if you have a simple return - less so if you have significant investment income or complex business affairs.

Re: [GNC] Loan with overpayments
Thanks Stephen. I'm in the UK and it's usual to have interest calculated daily and applied in advance on the first of the month. Payment can be any date you choose. The bank only sends an annual statement with a single figure for the total interest that year - not at all helpful in this case. I guess I will need to find a suitable spreadsheet and adjust the scheduled transaction figures.

[GNC] Paying for transaction report customizations
Hi all, I made some simple customizations to the Transaction report under 2.x that I unfortunately don't have the time to reimplement for 3.x and 4.x, so I'm writing to ask if anyone on the list would be willing to implement these for me if I pay them. I'd be happy for the result to be licensed under the GPL. I can explain what I need fairly succinctly: I use this custom report exclusively on a single asset bank account (the "target account") for a given calendar month (the "report month"). The necessary customizations are: * Adding three new columns to the report: 1. Customer name - will be empty except for transactions between the target account and an A/Receivable, in which case it will show the customer name associated with the invoice for to the accounts receivable transaction. 2. Job number - same as previous but the Job Number associated with the invoice, if any 3. Balance - the balance of the target account following the transaction * The ability to rename column headings, including the three mentioned above (something like to what you can do in the Tax Invoice under the Headings Options) Other non-essential changes that would be helpful if they are relatively easy to implement: * Adding a subtitle to the report indicating the report month in words in the appropriate locale (e.g. "May 2019", although I'll be using the report in French so it would be "mai 2019") * Support for an arbitrary css file (like you can do for the Tax Invoice report in its Display Options) * Ability to reorder the columns (or just choose a fixed order different from the existing default) * Under general options: instead of a start date and end date, just pick the calendar month that you want to use * Add an extra row at the start of the report that is empty except that it gives the opening balance of the target account at the start of the month If anyone wants to send a quote for how much they might charge for this, or if you have ideas of anywhere else I could solicit help with it, please just let me know.

I rebooted my system just now; that seems to have done the trick. If GnuCash was still running while you made the changes in *.gcm, that would indeed have no effect. GnuCash reads the information only when your book is opened and will overwrite it when the book is closed or when you run save.
