Re: [GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 255, Issue 13
Thank you guys. Geert's suggestion actually worked! It was like Adrien said, "it opened with just the 5 major accounts. I almost missed the New Accounts Page as it was the very bottom of the list. If I had seen it before, I would have thought that it was like opening a new company/person so would have ignored it I'm sorry, I should have given more detail in my opening message: I've been using various flavors of Linux for about 25 years and GC a little bit less. One of the first I learned was that the included GC was at least to major versions old which is why I started using Flatpack. Currently, I'm one PeppermintOS, a derivation of Debian. I am thinking about going to Slackware as my first installation was a derivation called Vector Linux. I've always opened GC by clicking on the data file, or a link to it.) Unfortunately, opening from a link puts the backup in the directory where the link is. I wrote a C program to switch to the data directory, move the backups into another directory and delete the logs. Then it would open GC with my data. While the accounts are on tabs, I open reports in a separate window which caused my original issue. I don't use the online banking features. I did try the business feature but, as usual, it didn't fit what I needed to do. You guys have done a bang-up job putting this together and I love not having to close each year. There is one feature I would like to see, though I doubt many would have a use for it. I learned bookkeeping BC (Before Computer) so I learned the paper/pencil method. I wish there was a report that would let me print a General Journal much like what appears on screen for a particular period. I would also like to print the various active accounts: Date GL 1st Description, with debit and credit columns. While I would like a running balance, I believe the proper way was totals at the bottom. Oh, and each account would be its own page(s). I would do them myself but I'm having enough trouble with C. I used to know 6502 Machine language, dBase III as well as some Lotus Macros and Excel VBA. I'm not object oriented depending on text so that I can trace what is going on.

[GNC] GC now only opens a report
GC 5.6 under flatpack. I didn't close a report (in a separate window) before I closed the regular GC. Now, when I Try to open GC, I only get the report. How do I get to being able to enter data again?

Re: [GNC] Request for two new features in GnuCash
I have three separate data files: personal and two for non-profit organizations. I've always started gnucash by selecting the data file. I have tried putting a link to the data file on my desktop (both when I was using Ms and now with Linux.) The only problem is that the log files are created on the desktop. If I navigate to the data directory (folder) and double click the data file, the log files are created in the data directory. In Ms, I could have the link start in the data folder. Unfortunately, I haven't found how to do that in Linux yet.

Re: [GNC] Startup issue - two windows
When I start a new installation of GNC, I go through this same snafu. After I get past that, I immediately turn off running the auto create feature and the start up notes. It was good to have the latter when I was still learning GNC, After that, I had no problems with startup other than occasional lock files because the PC had crashed. This is an old PC that originally ran Vista but is now running Peppermint 10 which is based on Ubuntu 10.04. I've kept it until I get comfortable with the new version. My other PCs are now on PeppermintOS based on Debian.

Re: [GNC] Startup issue - two windows
I believe that I might have experienced Tommy's situation - twice, on different machines. I believe they happened when I had just installed GNC on a new PC, I open the GNC by double clicking the data file. Hopefully, I remember the details. GNC would show the opening banner (I never turn that off. I don't like no activity during the start-up!) Then the normal screen opens, the Run Scheduled Transactions appears and finally, Tip Of the Day appears on top of RST. The later doesn't allow any activity on the other windows (within GNC) until it has been dismissed but, unfortunately, it is hidden by TOD. Once I get past that blockage, then I can turn off TOD and RST so they don't appear any more. Hope this helps.

David H.: Thank you. I'll try that when I get back to the office Monday. I had tried a Reinstall from Synaptic but that didn't help.

[GNC] re Report unreliable (invalid totals)
Now I feel stupid!😘 It turned out that a place holder account had an old balance. Once I got that cleared, the report balances. Still one minor problem: the balance shows blank for the value of the savings account but it still totals as if it was printed. Can't remember if that was an issue in v3.x.

Re: [GNC] Check printing
Hi, Victor. I use the same format as you. I still can't understand why I create 8 transactions in the Checking account, everything is the same except the number and payee. Only one of those checks would print. For the rest of them, it goes through the procedure on screen but when I click the final print, it does not go to the printer! I have to hand write those 7 checks. Bruce On Mon, Jun 14, 2021 at 4:51 AM R.

I used to fave soft links (in Linux - Shortcut in Windows). Then I noticed that I was getting links to the log files in whatever directory the shortcut was in.

Re: [GNC] Printing
I've been using flatpacks since I switch to Linux full-time (a bit over a year ago). Unfortunately, it doesn't see my printer on my network. It only offers lp or file. I select file, make sure I know where it is printing (not an easy task!) and that it has a pdf extension. Then I can open it from a document viewer and print. Also, Invoices went the same route but I never tried to print checks. Bruce David wrote: Printing is normally handled by the OS and not by GnuCash itself. What OS are you using and what is the GnuCash version? What are you trying to print? Generally only reports can be printed out (and checks, invoices etc.). Under the File menu item there is a Print Report (Ctrl-P) entry which will print the report currently displayed in the main window to the system printer. AFAIK this is context sensitive and become Print Checks when an account register is being displayed. I would think if an invoice is the open tab it will change to Print Invoice but I do not use the business features so I cannot check it out easily. On Linux, in my case, this is a network shared printer accessible via CUPS. If the printer is accessible through the OS, web browsers or other applications, it should also be accessible from within GnuCash. If not it is likely a CUPS configuration problem An alternative is to export the report as HTML, then open it with a web browser and print from the browser.

Re: [GNC] envelope method, equity sub-accounts, cash vs. hybrid vs. accrual accounting
First, let me say that I have never in my 50 years of accounting/bookkeeping, been successful setting up and using a budget. It was just too much work when the information was already in the books as to how much was spent in each account in each period. The few times I set up a very simple one, there was no relating it to actual. I have been treasurer of a non-profit for the past 7 years. My predecessors, if I was lucky, kept a check register. It took a long time to get the term assets/liabilities in to some sort of books. I suppose I was fortunate that we weren't big enough, here in USA, that I didn't have to make detailed reports to the government, and the members were only concerned with cash in bank. We do, from time to time, have dedicated funds to specific purposes. I can easily see the balance of these funds and make deposits/withdrawals. 110 Bank of Gnu$1,337.34placeholder shows sum of sub accounts 110.1 General fund$1,234.45 110.2 Dedicated fund 1 $67.89 119,3 dedicated fund 2 $35.00One bank account with virtual funds. Now I know at a glance how much is each dedicated fund. I even had one slip into the red this month which is ok in that it tracks donations for our dinners and would have come out of General fund any way. In fact, based on a comment by our Commander, I had just set up the fund using data from the first of last year. Bruce Preach the Gospel wherever you go.

You probably know this, but just on the off chance that you don't: In the File ? Properties dialog, there is a setting "Day threshold for read-only transactions." If change the default 0 in that box to a number, then transactions more than that many days before today can't be edited. It would be a lot more useful if we could set a date, in my opinion, but it's better than nothing. -- Regards, Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://BrownMath.com https://OakRoadSystems.com thanks, Stan. If I had seen this, it was so long ago that I didn't want it. (I was entering assets from some 50 years before!) And there was no real cutoff date for that process. I just realized that it has been a long while since I had any old entries. My first thought was like someone suggested: using the first day of the current month would be great until I realized I wouldn't be able to work on yesterday's transactions on the first day of the month. Setting the day threshold to 31 will work for me as I will occasionally find a transaction in the bank that I didn't know about and have to track down who or what it was.

I wonder if there has been some development along > making transactions "persistent" or read-only/locked/un-changeable? When I started using GNC, about 5 or 6 years ago, I had 2 surprises: 1) I didn't have to enter the earliest transactions first as I was trying to find the old transactions for the assets/liabilities while I was entering daily transactions. And 2) that I could edit entered transactions. I grew up in the pen and paper era so that editing an entry was a no-no but, since my current effort was not for other people, it was great as Idon't make mistreaks! Yeah! Right!

Re: [GNC] How to find un-posted invoices (was: Re: BotanyBayGardens nonprofit example, and why GnuCash does not suffice)
Thanks, Adrien I found that out yesterday when I created an invoice but didn't post it I'll live with it until I can track them all down. My goal is to eventually delete the AR module. Bruce Try Business > Customer > Find Invoice, then set criteria to `Is posted?` and uncheck the box. (without that criteria, others should show a `Posted` column anyway, 'un-posted' invoices will show "12/31/1969" as the date - a bug, but usable info still.) You can of course add criteria, and/or run iterated searches to refine the list as needed. Sadly, there is no way to get a report or even export this results list. (You can screenshot I suppose) There is also no way to save the search criteria if they get complicated. But from the Find window you can View, Edit, Pay, Print, etc. (the 'Printable Report' button is an Invoice report, not a report of the results.) Hope that helps.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash list
From: Robert Heller Most people in recent times are using a webmail client (eg GMail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, etc.), so they are reading E-Mail in a webbrowser, just as they would be reading postings in an actual webforum. The idea of an "E-Mail List" as something separate from a forum is actually foreign to these people. And yes many people would prefer a web-forum (not me -- I hate web forums and avoid them whenever possible). Thank you, Robert. Yes, it is foreign to me. Unfortunately, I do not save the messages. I needed to reinstall my OS and all my applications. They do offer gnucash version 1:2.6.19-1. They also offer flatpak which is currently 4.0-3. After reading the difficulties, I was going to wait until it smoothed out before installing but, in this case, had no choice but to upgrade. Now, I have a couple of nits to pick: I started bookkeeping BC (before computer) so I'm familiar with debits and credits. Unfortunately. I couldn't find where to use formal accounting rules. I recently made an entry, (I work in the general ledger.) and, as usual double checked it in the account register where it looked wrong. So I corrected it and looked at it in the other account where it again looked wrong. After 3 corrections, I finally realized the the accounts were different from what I was used to. I had heard several express difficulty with column widths. I usually work with two or more windows open at once. But now, GNC requires me to use full screen. In both of those cases, I had read there was a solution. With a mailing list, I can't browse through the previous posts to find the answers to my issues. The first post in this collection referred to Gmane. I'll install Thunderbird and see if I can figure out how to find it. Thank you to all of you that work on this project. It is awesome.

Re: [GNC] export accounts, import accounts
David made the following comment: "It is usually a good idea if you are creating a new file to copy it to its own directory before opening it so its backup and log files are kept separate from those of any previous data file." Up until March, my log and backup files were located in the folder where the data resides. Then, I switched to Linux. Then, when I clicked on the link to the data, it would leave a link to the data files. I have no idea where they are - they are not in the data folder. To avoid this, I now manually switch to the data folder and double click the data file. Version: 3.10Build ID: Flathub 3.10-1 Bruce Preach the Gospel wherever you go.

And on these platforms it would be silly for each app to reinvent that wheel. I am aware many applications on Windows will notify you when a new release is available. That platform doesn't have a strong package manager or app store story. Regards, Geert True, many Windows applications do notify us of new releases. GNC is not one of them.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash logs on Linux
Because of the Log files, I learned quickly to have the data file in its own directory which gets backed up with the rest of my files. This is still happening on WindowsOn Linux flatpak though, it is different. I am now finding Links to the log files in the directory where the link to GnuCash data is located. I don't know where the logs are located but they are not in the data directory. I'm on 3.9. Linux is Peppermint 10, a Ubantu derivitive.On a side note; someone was wondering why GnuCash didn't let us know about updates.

[GNC] Link to GNC log files

Re: [GNC] Badly formed URL
The manually entered transaction was to my old AR 131. The correction that I made in the business mode was to take that amount from account 131 and place it properly in AR 132 which is the account that the business AR uses. In both cases the owner was identified. In AR 132 (Business /Accounts Receivable) the transaction was by making an invoice which had the owner and an Invoice Number. The issue is that the report said it was an invalid transaction type (expanding on the abbreviation used). Bruce Preach the Gospel wherever you go. If necessary, use words.

Re: [GNC] Report screen font size
I found where I can change the font size and got it so a one column report would fit (almost) in the window. Unfortunately, the printed report also shrunk too much.So, I tried exporting the report - the one that worked for me was to export it as whatever.xls. This opened beautifully in my spreadsheet program and I was able to adjust the print copy as I wanted it.That took care of the printed report. Now, I'll set all of the font sizes down to 6 (or smaller) so I can read the report on screen. One of the font sizes (Link) refused to change - I could change the numbers but it would not allow me to set.

Re: [GNC] AR problems
Thank you Adrien for your detailed reply. And my BP has dropped - I should have waited another day before I made my "rant". My apologies. > Win10, GC 3.8, SQLLiteI am very disappointed - to the extent that I'm angry! > I have tried all the reports in Business and Experimental and I could find > none that give me a summary of my customers WITH a balance! Neither Customer > Overview nor Customer Summary include the Balance and the Customer Report > won't show which invoices are paid! The Receivables Aging Report shows all customers with a balance, as well as the aging breakdowns of those balances. By default, only customers with a balance are shown, but you can opt to show all customers if you like. Note, there are problems with the standard version of this report. The beta version in the experimental menu is better and will eventually be the standard. This is probably the report you are looking for. The Customer Overview *does* show a balance, though maybe not by default. There is a down arrow with a drop-down menu to the far right of the header. From there you can select visible columns, where you will find ?balance? as an option. The Customer Summary is not designed to show balances owed, but rather profitability. However, it appears it doesn?t presently work properly. (and some columns I can?t seem to figure out how to influence, that is, how does the report calculate markup or expenses if those associated figures have no place to be entered in the app?) Seeing which invoices are paid is a little different, and arguably the UI could be better here. First, the new beta Customer Report has the option to show you the linked ?documents?, that is, which payments apply to which invoices and do so in a simple or detailed fashion. Think of this report as a ?statement of account? where you can show more or less detail as desired. Second, the traditional and current official method for seeing which invoices are paid/unpaid is to run a Find for all invoices (or by customer). There you will see a Paid? checkbox column. You can?t mark them paid here, but you can see if they are paid or not. You can also filter your search by if they are paid or not, thus only giving you unpaid invoices, if you prefer. Sadly, this result is not exportable nor can you copy/paste it somewhere else for processing or tracking outside of GnuCash. (I?m pretty sure there is a bug filed on this) Third, the Business > Customer > Invoices Due Reminder dialog will list all invoices that have not been paid in full, along with their remaining balances. I normally run GnuCash less than full width on a 1080p monitor and I have enough room on the side for this reminder list to always be visible. (as well as the AP equivalent, and my scheduled transaction up-next list) There are lots of ways to see the info you want, right out of the box. There are others that might involve some creative searches and reporting based on the AP or other Registers as well, but the above methods are much easier to work with. Wow! When I get back to the office tomorrow, I'll dive into those reports again. I guess my frustration was that there wasn't an edit report from the toolbar. What I want to do is print statements for customers with a balance due. As it stands, I have to look at each of 100+ customers one by one to see if they have a balance, then print their statement. > Also, I attempted to enter a Credit Memo and it would NOT allow me to > designate Cash on Hand. The message said something to the effect that the > account must be in the same currency. ALL of my accounts are USD!I finally > exported the AR Register and massaged it in a spreadsheet - a rather > cumbersome effort to get it massaged. I?m not exactly sure what went wrong here. I?d have to do a test. But make sure the customer you are issuing the credit note for is set for USD. (should be by default) I believe the warning is about the customer?s assigned currency has to match the account. I also have been using GNC since 2.6.? I have over 100 potential customers - all members of my Post (club). I imported the members last year from my member spreadsheet. I will order items for them and most pay me sometime after they receive them - even a year later. This one, however, paid by cash and the item is still in-transit - and that is a rare occurrence. It's my understanding that this credit will be applied to the invoice which will be made in the future. Payments either go into Cash on Hand or Checks on Hand. (They haven't been deposited yet.) Though I would ask, why do you want to issue a credit note linked to ?cash on hand?? Usually a credit note line item will be posted against an income/revenue account which will act as a reversing transaction. (a debit to income, rather than the normal credit) The credit note itself will post a credit to AR, which would reduce the customer?s AR balance. Maybe a walk-through of the part

[GNC] Moving from Sage Accounting and would like to keep sub-account totals viewable
David: >I thought there used to be a lot more information than that. I know that you can use account codes in the account fields when editing transactions instead of the tedious full tree account names. Unfortunately, you cannot make the account drop-down-list show the account code numbers, you have to 'just know' them. I didn't find a reference to that.< Having learned accounting "BC" (Before Computer), I needed to keep account numbers. My solution in GC is to prefix the Acct Name with the number as well as in the Code field, ie: 101 Cash on hand. This way, I only have to type 101 to select that account (or 610.1 to select fuel). If you want subtotals, in reports at least, make them sub-accounts of a placeholder:610. Auto Expense 610.1 fuel 610.2 lube 610.3 repairsNote that I put a '.' after 610 to remind myself it is a place holderOn reports this will look like Expenses610. Auto Expense (optional) 1168 610.1 fuel 123 610.2 lube 45 610.3 repairs 1000 (optional) Auto Expense 1168 The options are in Edit/Report Options/Display Bruce ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Concern with the lengthy list of "Known Issues"
I started with 2.x and had a couple of very irritating issues. When discovered 3.5, I up-graded and my issues were history. I have since upgraded one of my systems to 3.6 still have only minor inconveniences. I believe that I noticed the list you mentioned but I have seen similar lists in a lot of SW that I use and treat is as more of a "wish list" of things that might need fixing. (In the process of up-grading, I discovered the manuals and have been able to improve my GC experience greatly.)Bruce On 2019-07-21 13:31, scotts wrote:> I'm looking for other opinions.

Re: [GNC] Include Account Numbers on Trial Balance Message-ID:
I learned bookkeeping BC (before computer). As a result, I do most of my work in the General Journal. When I set up the accounts in GC the account number was part of the name, ie: 101 Cash on Hand. This is one way of getting the account numbers on the reports. I use GC for both personal accounts and a non-profit organization. It is much better than the old excel spreadsheets that I had been using.Bruce On Mon, 22 Jul 2019 Christopher Lam wrote This is not currently possible in the Trial Balance.

[GNC] Import Customers to Acct Rec
Thanks, Adrien. I didn't find it in the first 100 pages (and, for some reason, find would not work, then!). For the benefit of others, since all of my customers are individuals and not companies and, since Company is what one sees when selecting the customer, I formatted the company as [last], [first] and the name in normal order. >Check the Tutorial & Concepts Guide, Chapter 18.2 ?

Re: [GNC] New computer to set up gnucash and migrate from old.
Randy:"You would thing gnucash would build in a backup/export/import function."It does have a backup function: every time it saves the data, it renames the old one with the date and time. They are still in the data folder. If I remember correctly, GC saves these for 30 days, unless you changed it Yes, I would like to see export/import functions that don't rely on some special format.

Re: [GNC] New computer to set up gnucash and migrate from old.
I was running GC 2.6.19 on to win10 PCs. The hard drive started to fail and the shop was able to save the files before replacing the drive and installing Win10 one the new one. Since I have two clubs plus my own files, I've always started by double-clicking the data file which was located in a folder called qnucash where my other files for this entity was located. Then I installed GC (I believe 3.?) and copied the file that ended with .gnucash to the appropriate folder and double clicked to start it. Of course, I had to set GC up the way I wanted but it had all of my transactions. Unfortunately, it wasn't until later that I discovered that the configuration files: 09/30/2018 05:04 PM . 09/30/2018 05:04 PM .. 06/12/2019 05:43 AM 21,415 accelerator-map 12/26/2018 01:13 PM books 02/09/2018 06:59 PM checks 06/12/2019 05:43 AM 0 expressions-2.0 05/20/2019 10:03 AM 13,241 saved-reports-2.4 05/20/2019 10:03 AM 13,225 saved-reports-2.4-backup 06/12/2019 05:43 AM 1,345 stylesheets-2.0 02/09/2018 06:59 PM translog 5 File(s) 49,226 byteslocated in C:\users/[user name].Hope this helps.Oh!
