This is covered in the /GnuCash Manual/, section 10.2.2. *Accounts:*



It is an application preference. The relevant checkbox is labelled "Use 
formal accounting labels".

Re: [GNC] Ubuntu 24.04 update -- problems

[Stephen M. Butler]

1.  Somehow, after the update, I had two PPA entries for mozilla team.  
Kenetic and mantic.  Kept the mantic:
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10127 May 22 14:07 
mozillateam-ubuntu-ppa-kinetic.sources
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9908 May 22 14:07 
mozillateam-ubuntu-ppa-mantic.sources


    That fixed the problem with software updater and also allowed sudo 
apt update work.


2.  Had to install the following packages after the upgrade (before I 
could rebuild GnC):

    libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
    libwebkit2gtk-4.1
    libsecret-1-0
    libsecret-1-dev
    libboost-all-dev

    Took several attempts to get all the missing packages loaded back 
(and a lot of research to get the right names).


3.  I did a git pull before doing the rebuild so moved from 5.6-87 to 
5.6-150.

I just did the upgrade and GnuCash now fails to start with err:

Did a find command:

Attempted to rebuild gnucash and having make problems for webkit. The 
software updater is also broken (won't start).  So BEWARE, don't do 
the upgrade yet.

Thank you


There are a number of ways. But before discussions about those that are 
only "on paper" we should discuss those that are "actual".


"actual" --- You have, or could have, more than one bank account 
(savings as well as checking) OR one of the special checking+savings 
accounts (I don't know exactly how that works, but a credit union I 
belong to offers it). In THAT case you would be tracking ACTUAL 
transactions putting money into the savings account (or later 
transferring back for one of those major purchases. Automation of 
transfers in depends on if the banks supports that. Even of you don't 
have a savings as well as checking account NOW, the question is "could 
you". Note that this approach enforces not spending from the savings 
reserve without explicit action on your part (transfer)


"paper" --- If you only have the one bank account and can't get another, 
you can "partition" that account in your books. In other words, a parent 
account for the full bank account under which children for current use 
and savings. This requires discipline as nothing would prevent you from 
writing a check that required dipping into savings. If you wanted 
separate savings accounts for future big purchases, you could partition 
the :savings" part the same way.


The budget module can be used for planning. That's what you would use 
for predicting things like "when will the A/C savings account reach $X". 
But note that the budget doesn't make it so (it doesn't enforce sticking 
to the budget)

Re: [GNC] [gnc] Forecasting savings

[Adrien Monteleone]

There is a budget module.

Otherwise, you can use scheduled transactions, or just enter 
transactions in advance and run relevant reports. As the real-world 
transactions happen, edit those already entered to reflect any differences.


If you want to preserve the prediction vs. actual, you might have to do 
this in combination with the budget modules.


However, there are other tools better suited to this than GnuCash.

GnuCash is for recording actual transactions, just like a pen and paper 
ledger.

Adrien
