Re: [GNC] One more question on treansaction taxes
Hi Derek, OK - Like I've done in QB, one invoice with the project name as the customer and the units represent number of attendees and make partial payments that represent the actual payments coming in with a note in the memo field. ONE other question - I've tried entering a bill, with several transactions, using the "tax" option and had previously added the subaccounts - "Tax on Purchases" and "Tax on Sales" in my Liabilities section as suggested. It did not automatically enter the total tax into the correct sub account??? - just into Liabilities as a negative.

Re: [GNC] One Job - Many Customers
Hi Nora, Do you need to be able to produce invoices to send to the students, or is your main concern tracking how much each student owes and has paid? If you don't need to produce invoices I think you could do this by setting up each student as an asset account and have each course as an income account. You would then have transactions from the course to the student to charge them fees for the course. This then allows you to see how much each student owes (their account balance) and how much each course has/will generate. Then when they make payments you will have transactions from your bank account (assuming they are paying into your bank account) to the relevant student account. You can create student accounts by importing a csv file of accounts, then create the fees transactions again by importing a csv file of transactions, and finally import your bank transactions. If they use a consistent reference for the transaction the importer will learn which account the transactions need to go to and the process can therefore be quite quick.

Re: [GNC] One Job - Many Customers
Hi, I'm afraid a Job is really misnamed -- it's really a "Puchase Order" -- a way to link multiple Invoices. GnuCash's invoicing system really doesn't do what you are asking for. -derek On Thu, September 2, 2021 1:31 pm, Nora wrote: > Hi User Group, > > > > I've just joined and set up my chart of accounts and am ready to process > jobs and customers etc. > > Currently you can have one customer to many jobs, But I want one job to > many > customers. > > > > My question: > > I run many different classes/programs/courses, each with several > students/customers attending. > > How do I set up the one "program"/job and then invoice or associate all > the customers to that "program/job"? > > > > When I used quick books - I had one invoice to represent the program > associated to an income account, and just typed the names in a description > field of the payees/attendees.

[GNC] One Job - Many Customers
Hi User Group, I've just joined and set up my chart of accounts and am ready to process jobs and customers etc. Currently you can have one customer to many jobs, But I want one job to many customers. My question: I run many different classes/programs/courses, each with several students/customers attending. How do I set up the one "program"/job and then invoice or associate all the customers to that "program/job"? When I used quick books - I had one invoice to represent the program associated to an income account, and just typed the names in a description field of the payees/attendees. The individual payments reduced the invoice, and I used the memo field to list who made the payment. I want to get away from this as each person is only listed in the memo field and I can't easily reconcile with the bank by name. Thanks so much for your help!

Re: [GNC] Individual Job Balances? Project List?
Greetings. I'm still completely new to GNC and trying to learn to use it effectively for production 2022. Plus your generous support. The hardest part is the change of paradigm and approach coming over from QuickBooks. QB is what it is, but does some things well. That said, my structure is relatively few Clients that I do several Projects (called Jobs in GNC) done in phases or component parts we call Deliverables that possibly each get their own Invoices. Example might be Client X doing first a Consultation, then basic promo campaign, then special Videos later. Thus Client X has 3 major Projects/Jobs, thus at least 3 Invoices. It's essential I am able to see at a glance the entire gamut of Client X but equally important to see the running balance of EACH Project/Job as he pays down the services. I've been exploring the Job Reports and Experimental Job Reports, but it seems to be missing a nice clean OVERVIEW OF JOBS + their balances to be viewed at a glance. Any help or insight is appreciated. Christian On Sep 2, 2021, 18:47, at 18:47, Derek Atkins wrote: >Hi, > >The starting balance is computed from all the reconciled transactions >"to >date".

Re: [GNC] Redo account reconciliations
Paul, One way to recover a correct opening balance when re-reconciling and there are reconciled transactions after the previous reconcile date is to manually navigate though the register starting at the previous reconcile date and unreconcile every transaction after that date before starting the rereconciliation. I have found that that works and it may not be overly tedious if there are not a lot of transactions involved. If there are a lot of transactions involved it is probably easier to skip trying to rereconcile previous months and just ignore the incorrect starting balance for the current month's reconciliation. Some transactions will be marked as reconciled in the wrong month but there are no reports that I know of that show the reconcile dates anyway.

Re: [GNC] Redo account reconciliations
Hi, The starting balance is computed from all the reconciled transactions "to date". It *can* be safe to ignore the starting balance if, for example, a transaction became unreconciled. For example, let's say you reconcile from some starting balance X to a final balance of $1000. Then you accidentally unreconcile a $100 transactions. If you try to re-reconcile that same statement/date/ending-balance of $1000, it won't show X as the starting balance, but something else (PROBABLY $900, but I'm not 100% sure). But that's okay -- just ensure the ending balance is correct and all the transactions that SHOULD be reconciled ARE reconciled. There is no way to get a transaction to reconciled status (y) manually -- the only way is through a reconcile process. So if you have reconciled transactions, that must've happened through a reconcile. I would recommend you just go ahead with March, ignore the starting balance, enter the correct March ending balance, and see if the reconciliation works (ensure you re-reconcile anything from earlier that might have become unreconciled).

Re: [GNC] Redo account reconciliations
Derek, Thanks for your reply. I generally try and reconcile one month at a time. I have reconciled January and February 2021. I attempted to reconcile March but found too many problems and left it for lack of time. Recently I have had some time to catch up and am trying to pick up from where I left off. One of my first problems is that my starting balance in the opening reconciliation window at the beginning of March is off. It no longer matches what February ended with. Another problem is that some of March appears to be reconciled and some transactions are not (I believe these latter ones are ones I have discovered and entered while getting caught up.) In QuickBooks, I can undo a reconciliation and redo it from scratch, which has been a big help in clearing up some situations. (It also means undoing and redoing every reconciliation since the corrected one, but that is part of the process.) Where is Gnu Cash pulling the starting balance from in the opening window? Can it be adjusted?

Re: [GNC] Redo account reconciliations
In GnuCash, reconciliation is always "from the beginning of time".. So if you reconcile an account at August 31, 2021, that will "force" you to reconcile all transactions prior to that date. So It's not clear exactly what you mean by "go back and re-reconcile." If you unrecocile a transaction (for whatever reason) you should only need to go in and re-reconcile the last process once more and re-select the transactions. -derek On Thu, September 2, 2021 11:35 am, Paul Warthe wrote: > Hello fellow gnu-cash users, > > > > I am behind on my bank reconciliations due to an inability to make sense > of > some errant entries.

[GNC] Redo account reconciliations
Hello fellow gnu-cash users, I am behind on my bank reconciliations due to an inability to make sense of some errant entries. I think I have located them all, but need to go back and redo the reconciliation attempts on the last 2 months I attempted it on. I know how to do this in QuickBooks (the program we use at my office) but have not figured it out in Gnu Cash. Any assistance in this would be appreciated.
