[GNC] Manipulating data extracted from gnucash to Excel

[David Long]

When I copy data from Gnucash to Excel it arrives on text format along with
the currency denomination, so I cannot then manipulate it in Excel.
Is there anyway I can export data to Excel in data format?.

[GNC] Saved Reports accross several PCs

[David Long]

I am running gnucash on more than one PCs. When I create report on one PC I
find I have create that report on other PC even though they are both
pulling in data from the same file. Is there anything I can do to not have
recreate these reports?.
Also, I am using Gnucash for 2 different organisations so data is saved
under two different file names. If I create a report for one organisation
it also shows up when I load the file for the other organisation even
though it is not relevant the other.
Is there away to eliminate this issue?
Thanks

Re: [GNC] Description input on a transaction difficulty

Hi Vincent,
You describe exactly what happens.
Are you saying that typing on your keyboard doesn't add characters to the
description at that point, regardless of what the automatch is doing?

[GNC] Description input on a transaction difficulty

[David Long]

Hi,

What happens is that when I enter the description, the autofill tries to
find a match, but if it does not I am unable to continue typing the
description I want. As Michael D Novack, says , I can end up fighting with
GnuCash to get the description I want. Also, when I try to backspace and
delete letter by letter, that does not seem to work either.
It must be something unique to my installation, if it effects nobody else.
The suggested trick of putting in a wrong starting character does not seem
to work either, as then I cannot continue typing.

Thanks for any ideas.

David

I should have added that ignore the matcher matching and suggesting until
you have typed in fully what you want. If that happens to match an entry
than add a space or two to what you have typed in to make it unique which
will make that stick in the description. The trick he mentions of entering
an obvious wrong character

Just continue to type out fully what you want in the description and if it
doesn?t match anything that it has then it will retain what you have typed
in exactly as-is.

This is unlikely to be a bug. Bugs don't just affect you.

However your description of the problem isn't clear enough for us to be of
much help. Try again. When you try to type in the description that you do
want, what prevents that? Because of "autofill" gnucash will try to enter
a "match" from the past << a previous description that starts the same way
>> I experience this. You might have to fight with gnucash a bit to get
what you want entered. Assuming you want to have autofill working for
other than the situation causing the problem, here is a trick you might
find useful;

Start entering the description that you do want (the one that is getting
caught by autofill) with an obvious wrong starting character. I usually
use "q" or "x:, etc. Once you have typed in the description that way (it
won't get caught by autofill) you go back and delete that starting
character. Of course this isn't a trick specific to gnucash.

This is a report I assembled from the options available in the GC GUI

Unfortunately, I am not competent to use the programming facilities behind

[GNC] reporting currency

[David Long]

I have been using GnuCash on a laptop which became problematic, so I
installed it on a new laptop. Its so happened that I bought that laptop,
whilst in the UK, whereas the business I am using it for is in Malaysia,
where the currency is Malaysian MYR.
All the historic data is MYR. However, when I installed Gnucash, it seemed
to have defaulted to British Pounds as the local currency. So now the
reporting does not work, as it tries to report in Pounds.

I have tried to change the local currency in Preferences, wherever I can
find it, but I cannot change the local currency as it is greyed out.

What can I do?I am thinking I should reinstall GnuCash.

Thanks

[GNC] Is it reasonable to have sub-accounts under under Equity

[David Long]

Hi, If I were you, I would ask your accountant to give you the balance sheet as 
of 28/2/2022, or better still the detailed trial balance (called Account 
Summary in GnuCash reports).

Those closing balances would then become the opening balances as of 1/3/2022. 
You will need those numbers if are to do the job properly. Why re-invent what 
your accountant should already have done?  The net asset (including cash) will 
equal the initial equity you put into the business plus the accumulated profit/ 
losses you made since then , plus any borrowings. You can journal those opening 
entries in.

Sure, you can have a sub account under equity where you would record assets so 
that you have a debit and credit, and it would balance, but I am afraid it 
would not be correct.

 

Regards

 

David


Apologies if this is too much an accounting question, but I'm stuck, and am
trying to work out how GnuCash will handle this.

I'm trying to enter into GnuCash my company accounts for this financial
year only - I'm not going to bother trying to enter every transaction since
the company started. So the opening balances should reflect the company's
financial position on 28/2/2022, and transactions from 1/3/22 being
recorded.

I have the account

Assets:Fixed Assets

All that contains is test equipment and computer equipment, all of which
will be depreciated - there's no land, or other things that don't
depreciate.

I initially set Assets:Fixed Assets to have an opening balance of ?x, as
that's what my accountant told me the total of all thef fixed assets was
worth. I see that is reflected in the account

Equity:Opening Balances

However, after I asked him, my accountant gave me a breakdown of the net
value of the individual fixed assets, which have obviously depreciated over
time.  I thought it would be useful to have their individual net values on
28/2/2022 recorded in GnuCash, so when I depreciate them next year, I can
keep a track of the depreciation. (I also thought of depreciating them
monthly, which I could probably do with the scheduled transactions, as my
accountant is using linear depreciation).

That brings me to the problem that my initial entry for the opening
balance of these fixed assets would be wrong, and should possibly set to
zero.

Can I set that balance to zero, then delete the appropriate Equity:Opening
Balances entry?
Would it be sensible to have a sub-account under  Equity:Fixed Assets, or
is that just not sensible?

Obviously by the very nature of a double-entry system, in order to debit
the Fixed Assets, I need to credit somewhere else.

Re: [GNC] How to generate Budget V Actual Report for Profit and Loss

[David Long]

Thanks Adrien for your reply.  I have also been trying to produce a report
showing this year's P compared with previous. I tried the multi column
reports, but the descriptions repeat and the rows do not line up.

Reporting Actual V Budget and prior years is pretty standard in an
accounting system, and whilst I love GnuCash, it's an area not covered well.

Should I be asking for an enhancement?

You are correct.



The current work-around is to finish off in a spreadhseet to add the
missing Net Income calculation.



Adding the Actual (and Variance) to the Budget Income/P version would be
nice. (percentages would be awesome too!)



I'm not sure that it is necessary for the basic Budget Report as that can
also show other types of accounts and in such context, a Net Income might
not be useful or meaningful.

[GNC] Revisiting the pre-paid invoice (coupon, credit note ...) issue:

[David Long]

Hi,
 one way I know works, but is a bit ugly, is to create your prepayment
account as a negative current asset. I do something similar as some members
of a club incur expenses on its behalf, which goes to their current account
as a negative asset, and I then use this to clear off invoices in their
receivable account using the invoice payment process which is equivalent to
your item 4 below.
Ugly though, as on the balance sheet report the current accounts not yet
cleared of to A/R appear as a negative asset rather than in the liability
section.
Regards
David Long

Your message :


Revisiting the pre-paid invoice  (coupon, credit note ...) issue:

In standard accounting a prepaid debt (aka a coupon, credit note, etc) is
booked as a liability.
On paper, and as direct import of transactions into GnuCash, this works
However, I abandoned the brute force transaction method since I really like
the GnuCash Invoice and Bill features: so I started fresh with imported
Invoices and Bills.




My real life example: client prepays for 13 1 hour tutoring sessions, $25
each; to be used over the next year:
1. New Invoice for the prepayment:
 Dr.$325 Assets: ReceivablesCr. $325 Liabilities:
Prepaid
2. Process Payment for the coupons
Dr. $325 Assets: Cash   Cr.
 $325 Assets: Receivables

I 'earn' payment for an individual session when it is complete.
3. New invoice for that session
Dr. $25 Assets: Receivables Cr. $25 Income: Tutoring
4. and pay for it from the prepay
Dr. $25 Liabilities: PrepaidCr. $25 Assets:
Receivables

GnuCash, however, appears to only allow payment of an invoice from an asset.
Is there a way GnuCash can accommodate this?

Re: [GNC] default local currency (Liz)

[David Long]

Hi David,

 

I keep my GnuCash  files on a folder on my hard disk which synchronizes via 
Dropbox with the hard disk on my laptop. I used this  file when after I had 
installed on my laptop.

 

I just changed my default location in Windows 10, but the default local 
currency in GnuCash is still USD.

 

I am thinking that GnuCash sets the default currency during the installation 
process, by detecting the default location, and that therefore I now need to 
re-install, but will first try closing GnuCash and restarting my laptop.

 

Regards

David,

 

So you're not able to click "Choose" and then use the dropdown arrow on the 
right to select MYR ?  How did you transfer your file over to the laptop - is 
the file or the volume it's on Read only ?  I did try setting my file to Read 
only and it didn't make any difference to the behaviour of the Default Currency 
preference.

[GNC] default local currency (Liz)

[David Long]

Thanks for replies below about changing default currency, and my follow up.
Any further advice?

I tried before: Preferences >> Accounts >> Default Currency in Gnucash 4.10
???

But its greyed out so cannot change.

 

My version is 4.10

 

Adrien noted:

1. Locale (set by your OS preferences)

2. Specify one from the drop down.

 

OK, if that's case am thinking if 1. Then need to change in OS preferences.
Having done that do I need to reinstall?

Liz, I have Windows 10.

Hi,

 

Actually, I tried a re-install, thinking I had missed a trick in the 
installation process, but exactly the same.

[GNC] Double entry directly to Equity

[David Long]

Hi, I just tested David's method of creating a new equity account and
crediting the revaluation to that account and debiting the asset account. I
did not attach  the new Revaluation Reserve  account to an existing equity
account (parent)  but I specified it as a new top level account. Either way
works fine, and the revaluation reserve appears where it should on the
balance sheet report.


Cheers
David

Well, actually my question is not an accounting question but rather a
technical one on how to set up and use equity accounts in Gnucash, if at
all possible (I'm a qualified accountant by the way). I took a revaluation
reserve just as an example.

In many accounting frameworks you can find items that affect equity
directly rather than through Profit and Loss / Retained Earnings.

For example, if you account for Property at fair value through P (so
called "investment property") you would reflect an unrealized gain in
market value as :

Dr Asset Cr Income (you equity increases because your net income / retained
earnings increase)

However, if you use a revaluation model for the Property and mark it to
market you would do:

Dr Asset Cr Reserve account

A Reserve account is an equity account (as much as Retained Earnings is an
equity account). This gain doesn't go through P  and doesn't affect your
income and expenses but it does increase your equity / capital directly
through the reserve account (where it's reflected on the asset side - the
property account or counter-account is beyond the point).

So I guess I am just wondering how to create an equity account in Gnucash.
I used to set up these accounts as sub-accounts in the Trading account but
now when I'm trying to make an entry directly to such a sub-account in
Trading (e.g. Dr Asset Cr Trading) the Trading account changes to Imbalance
automatically. Is there a workaround or is there a way to fix it?

Thanks!

[GNC] gnucash.org ] Account for Seller Credit when purchasing a home

[David Long]

If the reduction of 5000 USD were genuinely for repairs which you expect to
spend I would post the 5k as a  minus expense in a maintenance account,  or
create a house repairs account (type expenses). Actually it's a credit.
Then when you spend on repairs debit the expense to that account.(CR bank
DR repairs)  If its exactly 5k it will zero out, if not you may have a
small profit or loss in that account.
If the credit is not for repairs , but just a negotiated price reduction, I
would just account for the asset at its net value if USD 95k.

Re: [GNC] Why does an Equity account have to be of Currency type?

[David Long]

Hi,
I would just add to my previous comments that if equity accounts are set up
for contributions  to equity that are in assets other than in the base
currency of the entity, this would have to be a currency account as it has
to be translated into the base reporting currency of the entity using the
exchange rate conversion tools of GnuCash.

Re: [GNC] Why does an Equity account have to be of Currency type?

[David Long]

Hi Ken,
Re your reply to Michael below, I can help with the accounting, because
this has to be understood before how to use any financial accounting system
, like GnuCash, can be used.

In any set of financial accounts, including those where the system is based
on handwritten ledgers (how I started in the 70s), the business has to
decide in which currency it is going to report in, normally the country of
its residence but not always. This could indeed be in yards of lumber, or
whatever the Robinson Crusoe Island decides.

It would then produce a profit and loss account with a net income in X
yards of lumber, and a balance sheet where debit equals credits in yards or
lumber, or in other words ,where Assets in yards of lumber  = Liabilities
in yards of lumber  plus Equity in yards of lumber.

If an  equity holder were to contribute to his equity account in bananas,
you could indeed open an equity account in the books of account in bananas.
If one yard of lumber was equal to a hundred bananas at the time of the
transaction,and he contributed a thousand bananas then his equity account
would be denominated in yards of lumber and its value would be 10. (yards
of lumber). If you were hoping to have an equity account showing one
thousand bananas, this could never work. It has to be denominated in the
entities reporting currency, not bananas. This would be the only way of
having a balance sheet and P account in the reporting currency of yards
of lumber which adds up. That would be the case in any financial accounting
system. This can of course be done in GnuCash as Michael suggests by using
the $ symbol for yards of lumber or whatever.

You would have  to keep a separate memo reporting outside of the financial
reporting system to record that your banana equity account of 10 is
represented by 1000 bananas.

To take a more mundane example, if you take a US company reporting in USD,
and a foreign investor buys some stock with Euros, that purchase will
always be translated into USD and they will  have X USD denominated  stock
(maybe 1USD $ nominal value) and will have to keep their own record of how
many euros they paid.



Hope this helps
David

Your message to Michael below:


Hi Michael,

I agree - I could change the definition of $ for the purposes of the
Robinson Crusoe case.  But let me ask the question a different way:

It seems that when trying to create an account of type Asset, Bank, Cash,
Credit Card, Liability, A/Receivable, A/Payable, Equity selecting the
denominated "Security/currency" only allows the user to select a Currency
Type.
For account types Stock and Mutual Fund the "Security/currency" is only
allowed to be of a Non-Currency Type.

Why is that restriction necessary?  Why can't you have a Bank account that
is denominated in silver taels*?  Or a cash account denominated in "Disney
Dollars"?  Or contribute Equity to a business in the form of yards of
lumber?

Perhaps the answer is to simply use a "Stock" account type for my asset
examples?  But there is no workaround for the equity example.  And it seems
like an artificial limitation within the software - unless I am missing the
reason this should not be permitted (either from an software implementation
or accounting perspective).

Thanks,
Ken

[GNC] Customizing invoices (Helmut Eller

[David Long]

I have same problem as Helmut who wants to display more than 2 decimal
places in the quantity field of an invoice. My case is if I want to charge
say 7 months of an annual subscription then my quantity is 7 12ths so 3
decimal places would be better.
My only workaround was to add it in the description.

[GNC] GNC] Question about Assemblies

[David Long]

Best to use system which has inventory accounting as then you won't have to
worry about accounting double entry as system will generate it for you
automatically.
When you enter a purchase invoice it will have a quantity purchase field so
item will be put into stock at cost and quantity. Then there will be a
manufacturing transaction which will take it out of raw materials and into
finished stock (assemblies) at cost and quantity.. When it's sold it there
will be a sales transaction in quantity and price which will generate an
invoice and take item out of finished product stock in quantity and cost,
and then calculate the sales less cost of goods sold so you know your
margins

Hardly any of this can be done by GnuCash so you will need to use spread
sheets and have a course in accounting.
Plus ,a half decent accounting system which has inventory accounting would
also have sales and purchase order management and a bill of material system
to hold your soap recipes.

5. Re:  Keeping tenant accounts on Gnucash - periodic 'rent



Just try this:

Goto "business"at top of your screen

Click on Customer

Click on new customer and then put in your tennant details. Your tennant is
a customer.

Then Business-Customer and  "new invoice" create and invoice a weeks rent,
remembering to put in the due date, and post it, adding a description.

Then go to "reports "at top of screen-"

Then "business" and choose   "customer report" and select the customer.



That should show you something along the lines of what you want to see by
due date. If it does you can copy the invoice for the next week, just
changing dates, and post that too.



See if that works. It’s a bit of a fiddle at first, but once you get the
hang of it ...

Then the second step is to try allocating cash to invoices. You will then
have a statement which will double up as a receipt.

5. Re:  Keeping tenant accounts on Gnucash - periodic 'rent


I agree with Adrien's comments exactly. For some time I avoided using the
business functions of GnuCash as it looked tricky, but a few months ago I
did and have saved a lot of time and have some neat reports. Invoices are
native in the business options, so do not have to fiddle around designing
them outside GnuCash. I duplicate repeat invoices every month which is just
a matter of seconds. Statements of account are also a report you can find
("customer report") which shows outstanding invoices. There is a cash
allocation to invoices process ,so you do not get unreconciled balances.


I am an accountant, and I have found many businesses think their needs are
unique, and they are, but from an accounting perspective they are
remarkably similar. I am sure there is no significant difference between
your tenants accounts/statements and my boat club account statement for
members. You invoice according to your lease agreements, I invoice
according to services provided, and if we are lucky they pay. rgds David

[GNC] Changing where my data is held

[David Long]

Hi, sounds ridiculous but cannot find how to change where my data is held. 
Normally would expect to see that under preferences, but do not see it there.  
Any advice? I want to put on a shared drive on Dropbox, so another person can 
use.
Thanks

[GNC] inventory

[David Long]

Hi,
Since GNU Cash does not include inventory recording, can anybody recommend an 
inventory recording system. I do not need all the inventory management 
capabilities, just record keeping, showing purchases, issues and balances in 
unit and cost.
Thanks
David

[GNC] Account report

[David Long]

Hi, how can I select just the last few months for an "Account Report". I am 
getting the whole history of the account from the first ever transaction?  I 
can use the "Transaction Report", instead and select which account and periods 
I want, but then I do not see the opening and closing balance.

I am using the accounts to control the member's accounts of a sailing club and 
wanted to use this report to produce member's statements.

Thanks

David

Re: [GNC] Using GnuCash with Dropbox

[David Long]

Thanks,
I thought that would work as a one off manual save only. So from then on
GnuCash will automatically save updates and logs there?
I was looking for it under Preferences, but if that's all I need to that's
good.
David

Re: [GNC] entering bank transactions.

[David Long]

Hi,
I found the answer was to uncheck "place holder"

Subject: entering bank transactions.

Hi,

When I double click on Checking Account in Accounts it does not open . I need 
to do this in order to enter a transaction.  However, it works perfectly for 
Petty Cash Account or Saving Account, so must be something particular about 
Checking Account.  Maybe there is another cash book entry screen for this 
particular account , but I do not see it.
Am a new user, so finding my way around. Could not find under FAQs or user 
guide, just to let you know I did look there first so as not to bother 
community unnecessarily.

Regards
David
