Re: [GNC] Exporting Data

[Rogier F. van Vlissingen]

Yes, that worked.

Thinking back, I believe I did that originally when I did it the first time
in v3.8.
Now I wonder why it took me so long to figure it out again, but this is the
way to go, one single opening split transaction and that makes it work, and
if you mess up the difference will show up in imbalance-USD, so you have an
instant check.

thanks.

Re: [GNC] Exporting Data

[Stephen M. Butler]

I have never used the opening balances from the wizard.  I setup the COA 
and then enter one multi-split transaction to load all the balances as 
the first transaction in the file.  Looks like you would only have 8 
splits (I have 30-50 in my initial transaction).  Since the transaction 
balances all is good.


Sorry I can't help with the Wizard.

PS.  This also let's me adjust the opening transaction later if I messed 
up and missed an item or later decided to split an account retroactively.

There is nothing special about opening balances. They are just regular 
transactions that the fresh start wizard makes for you.


You should be able to edit those transactions just like any other.

But I don't understand what the problem is. Even the Retained Earnings 
account would have an 'opening balance' entry if you didn't start your 
books at zero. Thus the Opening Balance account would very likely 
include Retained Earnings. Why do you think it shouldn't?

Well, A/P is a type of liability anyway.  And it should be under the
bigger "Libility" parent account in the CoA.

But for gnucash A/P and A/R accounts are special as they are meant to be
handled by the bill and invoices features, and you never ever touch the
transations from inside those registers manually (else you're very
easily going to screw up something).

Re: [GNC] 4.9 account set up of going business

[John Ralls]

Maybe what you're missing is that Opening Balances accounts are created as 
placeholders by the Hierarchy Assistant. Before you can create the balancing 
transaction you must select the account on the Accounts page, click the Edit 
button in the toolbar, clear the Placeholder checkbox, and click OK.

Once you've created the necessary transactions you should re-set Opening 
Balances to a placeholder.

John Ralls

Hi Mattia,

thanks for the quick response.

And of course you're right. I had classified it as a "Liability", which, 
in my opinion, might be setup a little confusing.


Thanks a lot :)

I wanted to test out GnuCash, including posting a bill.

Unfortunately, I am unable to select an A/P Account to post the bill to. The
dropdown in the post modal is simply blank.

If I try creating a new account via the "NEW" button, everything works fine
and the account shows up in the dropdown, allowing me to post the bill.

In my experience, that's usually a sign that the A/P account is not
actually of "type" A/P.
Try clicking "edit account" and check the "account type" section.  If
it's not of type "A/Payable" then you'll need to create a new account and
select the correct type (for some reason it seems impossible to change
an existing account to be of A/P type, at least here it seems to be
restricted as a valid option only during account creation).


Also, I want to wish everyone a great start into the New Year.

Happy new year to you too! :)

Re: [GNC] 4.9 account set up of going business

[Rogier F. van Vlissingen]

I am sitting here trying that, but in the setup, when you edit the
accounts, it only allows posting of the entire account to "opening
balances." I can't see a way to split it and put the appropriate amount in
Retained Earnings. In the 3.8 version I was able to somehow correct the
balances, I believe with a transfer, but I cannot remember for ssure.

Re: [GNC] 4.9 account set up of going business

[Rogier F. van Vlissingen]

It happens to be a loss.

I seem to be missing something. For all the other accounts, I simply post
to the account with the balancing transaction going to Opening Balances.
But because of what I described, I get Opening Balances $x and Retained
Earnings $0. Nothing I can think of gets the money from Opening Balances
into Retained Earnings.

Or is it that when I set it up, I have to do some split transactions to
make sure the appropriate amount ends up in Retained Earnings and the
remainder is Retained Earnings?

Not sure how, but I could give that a try, I will just have to set that up
all over again.

In my experience, that's usually a sign that the A/P account is not
actually of "type" A/P.
Try clicking "edit account" and check the "account type" section.  If
it's not of type "A/Payable" then you'll need to create a new account and
select the correct type (for some reason it seems impossible to change
an existing account to be of A/P type, at least here it seems to be
restricted as a valid option only during account creation).

Re: [GNC] 4.9 account set up of going business

[Rogier F. van Vlissingen]

Thanks, I do not get it. I can set up all the opening balances, except one
retained earnings. To me retained earnings on 1/1/2020 is the accumulated
position from prior years, I do not see how I can finagle that via what sub
accounts. Evidently, when I set up the opening transaction, which is fairly
simple, the retained earnings is left at zero, because I cannot access it,
and so that difference pops up as part of the opening balance accumulator
account, which is therefore too high by the exact amount of the retained
earnings.

Am I missing something?

Re: [GNC] 4.9 account set up of going business

[davidcousens49]

When you transfer account to a new set of books, you would record the opening
balances of the Asset and Liability accounts  against the Opening balances
entries in Equity.

Asset entries will be a debit to the asset account and a credit to the opening
balances account and Liabilities a credit to the liability account and debit to
the opening balances account in Equity.

With this all you previous equity balances have been transferred to the Opening
Balances account and the books are balanced. The  Opening Account Balance should
equal the total Equity balance in your previous set of books.

If you wish to restore the Equity sub-account balances (assuming the accounts
have a credit balance in your previous books), you would need to credit the
aappropriate Equity sub-account in your new book  for the amount of its balance
in the previous set of books and debit the Opening Balances account for the same
amount.  This will keep the books balanced. 

If you restore all the previous books equity sub-account balances, then if your
previous set of books was balanced, the Opening Balances account should end up
with a 0 balance.

As John pointed out, the initial account setup daemon only allows you to set the
opening balances for asset and liability accounts. To restore the Equity
balances you would need to enter the transactions manually from the Opening
Balances register after creating the equity subaccounts initially with zero
balances.

Re: [GNC] Advancing scheduled transactions

[rmomxtx]

David,

 

All of my scheduled transactions are set to be created on or about the 1st of 
the month so the balances show what I can count on for the month. Works best 
for me. On occasion, when I get paid early, I would just post the income early, 
on the day it is received. It’s really just my Army retirement deposit that 
comes early some months. It isn’t that important to mess with it any more than 
that for my purposes. I just wait till the first of the month to do my 
accounting. Still, if there were a feature to allow you to tell the program to 
go ahead and process a scheduled transaction “today” I would use it. 

 

Thanks for your input.

 

Happy New Year,

Roger

Roger, 

I still don't understand. 

If you set your scheduled transactions to be created 45 days in advance, then 
your January 1, 2022 transaction will be created in mid-November (with a date 
of 01-01-2022), and you can change its date directly in the register at any 
point after that. Why is that any more difficult than what you're asking for?

Thanks Steve,

 

Kind of what I suspected. All my scheduled transactions are set to post on the 
1st of the month regardless of the date posted. Not worth the trouble to do 
more than that for an occasional early payment. Yes, it would be a nice feature 
that isn't essential and probably not worth the developers' effort. Not sure 
where to submit an enhancement request.

 

Great program regardless, worth a lot more than it costs. Reminds me of 
Airforce MAC flights. There are three things you can say about a MAC flight if 
you get on one, 1. It's a free ride, 2. It's a free ride, and 3. It's a free 
ride. 😊

 

Happy new year,

Roger

Roger,

 

That would be nice.  Need to enter an enhancement request to have that added 
during the copious amounts of free time the developers have!

 

But, to get around that limitation, I do use the "Create in Advance" so it is 
in the register early (but for the scheduled date).  That way I can just adjust 
the date on the transaction that is already waiting.

 

That's the only way now to move a scheduled transaction earlier. Now, if you 
want an extra one, duplicate it from the prior month.

 Not sure what you are asking.  Do you want to permanently change the 

 

 date the transaction fires?

 

 

 

 Or is this just a random change because it came early that month?

 

 

 

 Note:  I generally have scheduled transactions automatically post

 

 15-20 days early so I can see their effect in the registers of 

 

 interest.  If I note that the transaction posted on a date different, 

 

 it is easy to change the date in that register.

 

 

 

 I haven't tried editing the general/overview panel on a scheduled 

 

 transaction to see if the scheduled date could be permanently changed.

Thanks Gyle, What I was trying to communicate is that I already use the create

about the 1st. Except for a little inconvenience, I can’t think of a good

Rodger,

Even though I agree with your initial premise that it would be good to be able 
to select a scheduled transaction and post it early without actually editing 
the scheduled transaction, I have found that the create in advance function 
works very well as an alternative.  In my earlier email, I cited my example of 
a payment scheduled for the 1st that was going to post on 12/31 because the 1st 
fell on a Saturday.  After, the suggestion of fellow users, I decided to edit 
the scheduled transaction, permanently, to post 3 days early.  When the 
scheduled transaction post, it posted on 12/29 with a date of 12/31.  Then all 
I had to do was edit the transaction in the register to the correct date of 
12/30.  Now I don't have to edit the scheduled transaction ever again and I 
will get what I need every month.

This was my thought also.

If you don't want the scheduled transaction to be created in advance every
month, then leave it set to zero. When you do want to create early, change
the create-in-advance value to a large enough value that it will create
today, run the scheduled transactions, and then adjust the posting date.

[GNC] Cannot select A/P Account to post Bill to

[Sebastian Naumann]

Hi GnuCash Community,

hopefully all are well.

I wanted to test out GnuCash, including posting a bill.

Unfortunately, I am unable to select an A/P Account to post the bill to. 
The dropdown in the post modal is simply blank.


If I try creating a new account via the "NEW" button, everything works 
fine and the account shows up in the dropdown, allowing me to post the bill.


Since I do not want to create a new account every time :), your help 
would be greatly appreciated.


Also, I want to wish everyone a great start into the New Year.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Sebastian Naumann

Re: [GNC] Question on opening files

[Gyle McCollam]

He was referring to the Windows 10/11 icon.  If you right-click on the gnucash 
icon, you should see 3 options: Gnucash, unpin from taskbar, and close all 
windows.  Then, if you right-click on the Gnucash, the last option should be 
"properties".  Left Click properties.  In the Gnucash properties near the 
bottom is a run option.  The three selections are: "Normal Window, Minimized, 
Maximized".  It probably has minimized selected as the option.


Thank You,

Re: [GNC] Advancing scheduled transactions

[Gyle McCollam]

Rodger,
Even though I agree with your initial premise that it would be good to be able 
to select a scheduled transaction and post it early without actually editing 
the scheduled transaction, I have found that the create in advance function 
works very well as an alternative.  In my earlier email, I cited my example of 
a payment scheduled for the 1st that was going to post on 12/31 because the 1st 
fell on a Saturday.  After, the suggestion of fellow users, I decided to edit 
the scheduled transaction, permanently, to post 3 days early.  When the 
scheduled transaction post, it posted on 12/29 with a date of 12/31.  Then all 
I had to do was edit the transaction in the register to the correct date of 
12/30.  Now I don't have to edit the scheduled transaction ever again and I 
will get what I need every month.


Thank You,
Gyle McCollam

Re: [GNC] Advancing scheduled transactions

[D. via gnucash-user]

Roger, 

I still don't understand. 

If you set your scheduled transactions to be created 45 days in advance, then 
your January 1, 2022 transaction will be created in mid-November (with a date 
of 01-01-2022), and you can change its date directly in the register at any 
point after that. Why is that any more difficult than what you're asking for? 

David T.

Kind of what I suspected. All my scheduled transactions are set to post on the 
1st of the month regardless of the date posted. Not worth the trouble to do 
more than that for an occasional early payment. Yes, it would be a nice feature 
that isn't essential and probably not worth the developers' effort. Not sure 
where to submit an enhancement request.

 

Great program regardless, worth a lot more than it costs. Reminds me of 
Airforce MAC flights. There are three things you can say about a MAC flight if 
you get on one, 1. It's a free ride, 2. It's a free ride, and 3. It's a free 
ride. 😊

 

Happy new year,

Roger

Roger,

 

That would be nice.  Need to enter an enhancement request to have that added 
during the copious amounts of free time the developers have!

 

But, to get around that limitation, I do use the "Create in Advance" so it is 
in the register early (but for the scheduled date).  That way I can just adjust 
the date on the transaction that is already waiting.

 

That's the only way now to move a scheduled transaction earlier. Now, if you 
want an extra one, duplicate it from the prior month.

Re: [GNC] Exporting Data

[Rogier F. van Vlissingen]

Hi, thanks sofar, I have tried literally everything along those lines, and
nothing is doing it, and at this point it is all about ending with
everything right, since I need to do 2021 urgently.

My good luck is that this is about a business that was more or less dormant
for a while, so, I can do the whole year in a long evening, but now I need
to get ready for a better 2022, and I need to get 2020 and 2021 100% right,
plus be sure my accounting system will hold up for a busier 2022. For now,
this is not wanting to happen as I have ended up in a catch-22.

I switched to 4.9, assuming that whatever caused my problem in v 3.8 might
have been fixed. Evidently other users had had the same problem of
reconciliations coming unglued. As I said before, my main problem was not
having exited the program after each reconciliation, for if I had, I would
have had a monthly backup. I did the whole year in one session. Ideally
this time, I would redo it and and exit after every month was reconciled to
have backups throughout.
However, now I end up with another problem to which I have yet to receive a
satisfactory solution. When setting up the opening balances, the retained
earnings is not allowing editing, so it ends up that the Opening Balance
account now holds the total of the actual opening balances plus an amount
that should be retained earnings. In 3.8 I was able to set this up properly
with one opening transaction, but in 4.9 I have not found the way. I posted
about it on the list, but so far no usable suggestions. Only another user
having the same problem.

I used gnucash years ago without a problem for some small project, but at
this point , I feel like I am in a total Catch-22. I don't trust 3.8
anymore and so far 4.9 is letting me down.

Re: [GNC] 4.9 account set up of going business

[Rogier F. van Vlissingen]

Yeah, thanks. I am on mint, and it has version 3.8. I was able to do
something like that in version 3.8. However, I had some problems with it,
and moved to 4.9 now because of some other problems, but now I can't do
this, and that sort of kills the fun.

Let's see if someone comes up with a better suggestion... hope springs
eternal... and if not, I am moving to another platform.

Re: [GNC] How can I fudge a quotation in GnuCash and convert it to invoice if accepted?

Some Eastern European jurisdictions have some rules on this too, and I
think they have been discussed many years back. Perhaps Slovenia was
one such place.
I was of course wondering if the sequence 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc would
be acceptable?

Invoice numbers in Gnucash are sequential in a legalistic way, it is
simply incremented.
Not every number results in an invoice to be paid, but that is (to me)
analogous to cancelling a cheque, you had that one, but never spent it
so its number doesn't appear in a statement.

I make invoices for items which are being invoiced through a subsidiary
program, where my Gnucash invoices represent a total for a time period,
because it makes accounting for the income easier. Only myself and my
accountant will ever see the evidence of those invoices. Each uses
a number in my sequence, and if the ATO comes calling, I can
demonstrate that I haven't hidden my income, which is of course all
they are worried about.
