[GNC] Scheduled Transaction Editor Bug

[Dale Alspach]

Flathub gnucash 4.9-1 on Linux Mint 20
Today I tried to edit a scheduled transaction with splits that has one line
for selling part of a mutual fund. All of the other lines refer to accounts
in dollars. When I tried to save changes I received a pop-up that the
transaction could not be automatically created because of variables (there
were none) or multiple commodities (only one other than the currency
dollars). I could only get out of the edit by canceling.
Next I tried creating an instance of the transaction and then using
"schedule" to create a scheduled transaction. This worked if I accepted
what was automatically produced. If instead I clicked Advanced even with no
changes to the template transaction, the editor refused to save the
scheduled transaction.
Apparently the editor is no longer happy to set the share price at $1 and
fill in the shares correspondingly. While I was not fond of that behavior,
the current behavior is worse.
Before I create a bug report, could someone else see if this occurs ?

Thanks David. I ended up editing the splits. Not sure if it is 100% 
correct but I did end up with 1378 shares of AMD, 0 shares of XLNX and 
no imbalances.


One thing that I noticed is that running the Advanced Portfolio Report 
shows a cost basis of $0.00 for AMD. If that's the only problem I'm OK 
with that as it's easy enough to figure out the cost basis whenever I 
might sell.


I've attached the images of the splits, please let me know if this looks 
reasonable.

Re: [GNC] reconciling specific credit cards in an account

[Gyle McCollam]

"scum buster",
If you can't get the info to download from the bank correctly to the proper 
credit card, you can change that in the bank tab itself.  If you only have 2 or 
3 cards from the same bank you only have to change 1 or 2 records in the bank 
register.  Just click on the liability:credit card and then the arrow and 
select the proper account.


Thank You,

Subject: Re: [GNC] reconciling specific credit cards in an account

If the OP "scum buster" does not track the details in the credit cards at
all, only the monthly payments from the bank account to the credit cards,
then he may not even be tracking them as individual liability accounts.
Perhaps they are just expense accounts.  My sister does it that way, it
works for her.

In that case the payments could very well look too similar in the bank
account download even for the bayesian matching algorithm to assign them
correctly.  In my personal experience, GnuCash is always confusing
restaurant and gasoline purchases even when many are at the same few
merchants.  While I could suggest manually tracking by date and amount even
to the point of managing the payments to different cards to always be for
different amounts, GnuCash may still not be able to automatically assign
them correctly.  Then the user simply has to develop a procedure to
individually inspect each transaction carefully during the matching step of
the import to be sure that it is correctly assigned.  Again, from my own
experience, for one bank account I actually print out the register from the
online banking page in order to see every word in each transaction item
before I import it to GnuCash.  Sometimes I even markup that printout to be
sure I can import it correctly.  Can't do that on a computer screen,
[unless I use dry erase markers].

As for manually entering every transaction, few of us have time for that.
We mostly just scan the printout for items that look suspicious, like that
purchase of a computer and TV in Florida when we were not there or a string
of several out-of-town or online purchases on the same day.

Re: [GNC] Selecting older transactions to unreconcile

[Gyle McCollam]

Mahon,
Just in case you don't know where to do this, it is in the view tab/filter by.  
There you can select a date range and on the status tab you can select 
reconciled or other attributes.

It is very easy to adjust the register display settings to show only reconciled

It is usually a transaction in the wrong column.

End of year issue.

I have reconciled most of 2021 but inevitably I have subsequently found
a few errors.

So, I want to select a reconcile date and then "unreconcile" some
transactions.

I assumed using the suggested ctrl-A and spacebar technique would enable
me to do it using a date I specified for the reconciliation, but the
reconcile window only shows the latest unreconiled data.

Is there a technique for arriving at the data set for a specific
reconcile date?
