John,

You are correct. I set up a folder for 4.12-2 but it is empty. I just assumed I 
had a new release there. My mistake.

That's interesting since I haven't built a 4.12-2 and MacPorts is still on 
4.11. Are you sure you don't have GnuCash-Intel-4.12-1(2).dmg, which would just 
be another download of 4.12-1?

There's a preference on the Register tab under Graphics, Use GnuCash built-in 
color theme that enables the green-bar look in the Register. See if that's 
gotten unchecked.

I have tried it several ways now and all end up wrong.
Doing what you suggest above is what I first did (as it makes the most
sense).
In credit card account, I type a charge of 26.63 against Expense:meals.
I click on Split
I type 14.78 on the Expense:meals line and press Tab.
In the 11.85 line, I type $col and pick Assets:Investments:$colombia from
the popup.
When I press Enter, I get a popup about Transfer Funds
I click on To Amount at bottom of popup
I see to right of data entry box:  1 USD = 3809 COP
[3809... was the latest conversion rate in the COP price database]
I type -5 and press OK at bottom right.
That gets me wrong data in the various splits.

A different way:
In credit card account, I type a charge of 26.63 against Expense:meals.
I click on Split
I type 14.78 on the Expense:meals line and press Tab.
In the 11.85 line, I type $col and pick Assets:Investments:$colombia from
the popup.
When I press Enter, I get a popup about Transfer Funds
In the Exchange rate box, I type:  11.85/5 and press tab
That shows me 1 USD = 4219 COP
When I click OK, I am back in the split transaction
which now has an Imbalance-USD of 11.85 split
If I Jump to the $solombia account, it shows Receive of 11.85
(instead of the expected 5)
If I look at the Price Database, it shows a price of 0.00 for COP.

Perhaps we should not be going to this level of accounting (and as

But "accounts receivable" has a particular meaning in business aside

You ordinarily could not do that with pending reimbursements from your

That's why I suggested a top level "pending reimbursements" under assets.

Re: [GNC] Tracking Travel expenses

2022-11-14 Thread Adrien Monteleone

Ah, I missed the part about reimbursements.

I cover that too in my chart with Assets:Current Assets:Reimbursements 
and then sub accounts for each person/entity that I get reimbursed from. 
(or that I reimburse)


Technically, the latter could be considered a liability, but since the 
balance might go either way with some people at different times, I just 
keep them all under Assets and pay attention to 'normal' or 'reverse' 
balances.


The part of my tree about travel is strictly my own expenses - not on 
behalf of someone else.

That way I can keep those separate from my 'everyday' expenses that are

2022-11-14 Thread John Griessen

This was compiled from the 4.12 tar.bz2 after checking the sha256sum on linux 
mint 21 with guile 3.0.

I tried this compiling since the 4.12 flatpak is not showing printable invoice 
at all after a mint update.

I ran ninja check and all passed.

Any ideas on missing dependencies or bugs in library updates apreciated.

The green rules like paper accounting ledgers from 1960 are so familiar it makes me pause and slows down looking at the books not

You do not need to issue invoices or use other business features to have
accounts receivable. I recorded my employer expense account as an
account receivable in my personal books, and it worked just fine.

You will note that I did however specifically make the point that the OP
could skip the "Accounts Receivable" name and level and just make the
expense account a top-level asset if he wished. (I _did_ use the name
and level Accounts Receivable, since I also had other amounts owing to
me, such as health insurance reimbursements and various merchandise
rebates.)

Hi, Esteban!

I assume these travel expenses are going to be reimbursed by your
employer. In effect, you're making a loan to your employer, which
creates an account receivable. This is an asset account, not an expense,

Yes would be under assets. But we are discussing personal books, not 
books of a business (accrual basis so can use business features like 
invoicing). Probably no "accounts receivable".


If new to gnucash, keep in mind that the examples in the tutorial s=were 
simple, not including all the possibilities.  There can be other sorts 
of asset accounts besides "current assets" and "fixed assets". Like 
money you have loaned out.


But this is a special sort of loan, and I'd give it a name making that 
clear like "pending reimbursements" (the parent) and under it you could 
have child accounts for the "expense" categories << they are of type 
asset, not expense, because not YOUR expenses >> IF (as is likely) you 
receive reimbursement as the total of what you submitted, don't make 
that parent a placeholder. Then you can credit IT for the total.

These expenses are not expenses to you as they are reimbursable. You could set
up an asset account (similar to an accounts receivable account (with sub-
accounts for the various expense categories) which you would debit when the
expenses are incurred instead of an expense account you would normally make the
debit entry to with the second split of the transaction being the corresponding
credit to your credit card account. 

On receipt of the reimbursement then that account(or appropriate sub account)
would be be credited with the corresponding split to your bank account.

Re: [GNC] Tracking Travel expenses

2022-11-14 Thread Stan Brown
Hi, Esteban!

I assume these travel expenses are going to be reimbursed by your
employer. In effect, you're making a loan to your employer, which
creates an account receivable. This is an asset account, not an expense,
so it is kept completely separate from your own expenses.

The simplest solution is to set up an account receivable,
"Assets:Accounts Receivable:Due from Employer" or similar.(*) Then when
you buy let's say airline tickets for an employer-required trip,
Debit: Due from Employer
Credit:(whichever credit card you used
When your employer reimburses you, it's
Debit: Cash and Checking Accounts
Credit:Due from Employer

(*) If you don't have any other accounts receivable, you can skip the
intermediate level and just create Assets:Due from Employer.

I assume your employer has some sort of form that you fill out for
reimbursement. While you _could_ complicate the above scheme to generate
reports for that form, in my opinion it's less work overall to just
write the expenses on your employer's form when they happen, and
separately record them in GC.

Where the simple scheme above will definitely help is at income tax
time. You'll be able to show that X amount of money received from your
employer was a non-taxable reimbursement for expenses, not a taxable
payment of salary.

Re: [GNC] Tracking Travel expenses

2022-11-14 Thread Adrien Monteleone
I'm not sure there is a 'recommended' method. (and that would be an 
'accounting' question anyway)


However, I have the following in my account tree:

Expenses:
  -Entertainment:
-Travel:
  -Food
  -Lodging
  -Transportation

That way I can keep those separate from my 'everyday' expenses that are 
similar.


My chart of accounts has turned more into a 'purpose' driven model than 
a 'categorization' model.


When/if reporting becomes more flexible, this may change and I may 
consolidate some accounts again and resort to tagging.


Regards,
Adrien

Does this only happen after doing Find Account?

Now that you know where the account is, can you open it without doing a

What specifically do you mean by 'work'?

Does the window not open at all?

Are you using the Edit menu option, or the keyboard shortcut?

If the window opens, does it just not find an account you know exists?
