Re: [GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 256, Issue 20

2024-07-09 Thread Adrien Monteleone
You're welcome, but I'm not following how you end up with 'unbalanced 
amounts' or what it is you are referring to in that regard.


The balancing of your accounts is independent, and forced upon every 
entry by GnuCash. (GnuCash won't let your books be 'unbalanced', though 
it will happily let you make them 'incorrect')


The 'correctness' of those entries is what Reconciliation should confirm 
or expose errors to fix. (most likely missing transactions, but 
sometimes transposed digits)


Placing those accounts under a parent and reconciling together only 
facilitates reconciliation *if* the charges for each account are *mixed* 
together on a single statement with a common starting and ending balance.


If the statement shows separate starting and ending balances for each 
account, with separate lists of charges, payments, et cetera, then you 
should reconcile them separately as if you were given two entirely 
separate documents as 'statements'.


Paying the balance is entirely a separate function from the act of 
reconciliation. (pay no mind to the GnuCash 'convenience' of entering a 
payment when you reconcile, that is not a requirement of reconciliation)

Adrien

@Adrien,

Thanks, this seems like the best solution.  It looks funny to leave the 
unbalanced amounts in all 3 accounts (2 credit card and one parent 
account), but reconciliation works and generates the correct payment 
from the bank account.

Nigel,

No problem on Linux Mint 21.3 with either 5.7 or 5.8 built from scratch
so it is likely a problem with the flatpack setup or version.

Thanks again to all who responded!

Subject: Re: [GNC] Consolidated billing of two credit cards
Message-ID:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed

I'm in the camp that would just use a single split transaction payment
and leave the accounts as-is, if not for the very least, that the bank
still treats them as separate accounts. They can change how they present
the statement on a whim. (as they have clearly already done once)

I always attempt to model the real world in my accounting as closely as
possible.

If it helps with reconciliation, you can put them under a placeholder
parent account, and opt to include sub-accounts during reconciliation.

Adrien

I have two credit cards from the same bank, which were previously
handled completely separately and are therefor represented by separate
accounts in GnuCash.

Now the bank has consolidated the statements, but not completely.? There
is now a sinlge statement, but the charges and balance due are listed
and summed up separateky for each card.

However, the total due for both cards is now applied as a single charge
to my bank account. Because of the separate totals on the statement, it
is still convenient to reconcile the two credit card accounts separately.

However, this results in two separate charges to the GnuCash bank
account, which I then have to mentally add together to reconcile the
bank account.

This has led me to consider merging the two credit card accounts in
GnuCash.? How easy is this?? Will this really make things easier, or am
I better off sticking with the status quo?

Thanks in advance for any tips!
