[GNC] Max value during year

2024-03-10 Thread Fred Tydeman
Is there an easy way to find the maximum value of an account during a given
time period (such as a year)?

I currently do:  Reports: Assets & Liabilities: Asset chart:
Options:
  Accounts:  the account I care about
  Display: Show table
  General:  Start and End of previous year (or specific dates);
  Step size:  One Day
and then scan the table for the maximum.

There's Odoo ( https://www.odoo.com/ ). I haven't used it and don't know much 
about it. (I think someone on this list mentioned it awhile back.)

Thanks for all that Michael.  So the summary is, why would I think that one 
system could possibly handle all the regulations that incompetent and 
narcissistic bureaucrats could come up with?What was I thinking??? :-)


This is equivalent to asking why we have independent countries, each 
making their own laws and setting taxes rather than a centralized world 
government.


In the US, "sales tax" is not federal. Except in the sense of certain 
"excise taxes" we have no national sales tax. The problem is not that 
any particular state's sales taxes have bizarre regulations but that 
there is no reason why the regulations adopted in one state should be 
the same as in another. The differences are NOT because of 
incompetent/narcissistic bureaucrats --- and in any case, the 
bureaucrats of a state do not set sales tax regulations, the elected 
politicians do.


But in any case, what I was really saying is that dealing with this 
issue is OUTSIDE the normal scope of a "general ledger" system. It is 
the job of a POS system to handle that and send a feed to "general 
ledger" with the transaction having the correct amounts. It would also 
send a feed to "inventory" to record the depletion of items (and 
"inventory" would then send a transaction to "general ledger" for cost 
of goods sold.


Gnucash is a general ledger system, not a complete business system with 
"payroll", "inventory", "POS", etc. Or if for an organization, maybe 
also things like "pledge accounting"


Gnucash does not have these partner systems. AFAIK no team in the open 
software world is trying to organize a "business system" project. BTW 
--- I am STRONGLY on the "modular design" side of that issue, so would 
want separate teams doing the components << the "business system" team 
would be in charge of making sure the pieces all cooperate, well defined 
interfaces, etc. >>

But be aware that if you compute sales tax on individual items, the
total of the taxes you compute may be off by a penny or two from the tax
your receipt shows for the transaction.

These "rounding differences" are inevitable, as a current thread and
many previous threads have discussed. It's mathematics, not any kind of
software error. The only way to prevent them (if you want to prevent
them, as opposed to manually tweaking the amounts) is never to buy
multiple taxable items in the same transaction.

Re: [GNC] Reports not displaying.

2024-03-10 Thread john
Thanks.

For others who might come across this thread and feel motivated to add to it, 
that's not necessary. As Richard Ullger reported back in October we know that 
the root cause is Nvidia screwing up their Linux drivers. Unfortunately a lot 
of distributions didn't get the memo about that and continue to create new 
packages with the broken drivers even though Nvidia has long since released 
fixed ones. It even bit Nvidia senior engineer Connor Hoekstra, getting a 
mention in his podcast (https://adspthepodcast.com/2023/09/15/Episode-147.html 
or https://adspthepodcast.com/2023/09/22/Episode-148.html, IIRC pretty near the 
beginning but I don't remember which one).

Regards,
John Ralls
