[GNC] [MAINT] Unplanned network outage for GnuCash Server
Hi All,
TL;DR: There was an unplanned network outage for code.gnucash.org for the
past 16 hours. I was able to route around the damage and packets are
flowing again as of about 18h45 US/EDT.
Long version: Sometime around 3:30am US/EDT my network stopped talking to
my ISP. Unfortunately I was away on holiday for a quick 2-day lake
getaway and the only debugging I could do remotely was that I determined I
could not reach any of my machines on my raw ISP network. Once I got home
this afternoon I was able to debug it further and determine that a bridge
I had put in place between my ONT, Modem, and local devices was no longer
properly working. I removed that box and reconnected without it an
everything came back up.
I do want to place that box back into service, because it allows me to
bypass the modem NAT table limits, but for now I will keep the network
running without it until I can find the time to track down what changes
AT&T made to the configuration that caused it to break. But until I can
find the time to do that (which will entail taking the network down), I
will keep it up and running as a direct-connect.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Trust me, it wasn't
pleasant for me, either, waking up from 100 miles away to see that the
network was down!
Have a great morning/evening/rest-of-your-day and happy GnuCashing!
-derek

Re: [GNC] Charging Back to Customer on Job Isn't Working
Hi, The idea is that you may have multiple invoices to the customer, so when you bill back an item, GnuCash gives you the flexibility to choose how and when you actually include the chargeback item on an invoice. You may have a reason not to include a chargeback *immediately*, so it defaults to opt-in as opposed to opt-out.

[GNC] [MAINT] Unplanned network outage for GnuCash Server
Hi, TL;DR: My ISP's upstream router failed causing my network to go away for the last 36 hours. IPv4 service is back as of 9am US/EDT today. IPv6 service should be back shortly (and and I'm writing this, IPv6 is back). Long version: Around 8pm US/EDT on Sunday, July 12th I noticed that my network had failed. I traced it down to the fact that I couldn't reach my upstream ISP router so I sent email asking for assistance. There was nothing else I could do from my end until I heard back from them. Yesterday I reached out again and was told that the router crashed hard and they were working on replacing it and trying to find a backup configuration as well. That was as of 3am Monday morning. Yesterday evening I noticed that the router was reachable again, but it wasn't routing my network to me, so this morning I reached out yet again, and they were able to re-install my configuration, but they had a bug in the IPv6 config. Still, I noticed email started flowing shortly after 9am. Once they corrected the IPv6 config (which happened while I was typing this in), everything came back up and now appears to be reachable. Because it was only down for 36 hours, no email should be lost, only delayed, and no other local data was lost on the GnuCash server. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Alas, there's not much I can do about an upstream router blowing up. :( Happy GnuCashing y'all. :-D -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ 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.

There never was multi-line entry and display of these fields, so there is nothing to "recover". Keep in mind that while "GnuCash for Android" uses the GnuCash name, it is not something developed or supported by the GnuCash team. Your best bet is to remove all newlines from those fields. Or you can try to convert it to and then maybe the report will insert a line-break.

Seriously, it's not that easy due to the design and implementation of the register.

There are two ways to go about this: 1) If you can delete the top-level "Bank Accounts" account, then it will ask you where to move the transactions and you can select the correct credit card account. This will move all transactions en-masse and is the only way to do just a mass move. 2) You can open the account, Change the View to Auto Split Ledger or Transaction Journal mode (see the View menu), and then you can change the split that ties each transaction to the Bank account to the credit account. Here you do have to manually fix each one, but you can do it in one place; you don't have to jump to each Expense account to do so.

Re: [GNC] Tax tables changing

What is "parent" in it? If you search the archives I'm sure you'll find I've gone through this in excruciating detail in the past. In short, Tax Tables get frozen when an invoice is posted. And future changes to the Tax Tables introduce a Copy-on-Write semantic. The reasoning is that if you post an invoice in 2018 with a 2% tax and then in 2019 that tax changes to 3%, if in 2020 you need to revisit that 2018 invoice you want it to display with 2% tax, not 3% tax. So to solve this problem the tax tables are frozen on posting. When you unpost an invoice with tax-table associations it asks you whether you want to keep the taxes or "unfreeze" them (I forget the terminology). I.e., if you unposted that 2018 invoice and told it to unfreeze, then it would change those taxes from 2% to 3% and the values would change when you re-posted the invoice. Sometimes this may be what you want (e.g. to correct an error in the tax table), but sometimes it may NOT be what you want (e.g. to correct a typing error). The "parent" is a pointer from the frozen tax table to the non-frozen one. So when the 2018 invoice is posted, it freezes and when you change it in 2019 you get a parent/child relationship between them.

When you receive a Bill from a vendor it will have their invoice# on it, but you might want your own counter for it. This is why there are two cases.

One more thing I forgot to add -- You can view partial registers and when you do that, if balances were recomputed, you'd NOT have a complete picture of what's going on.

GnuCash does not present a running balance in any sort order; the balance is 100% based on the default sort order. When you enter a transaction it computes the balance, and that balance is stored with the transaction split.

As indeed it shouldn't. A transaction has a fixed exchange rate, and that's the exchange rate that should be used for that transaction in the transaction report. The only arguable place where an "other" exchange rate should come in during a transaction report is if you have a transaction between X and Y but you're trying to display a report in currency Z. Then the question is, if the transaction from X to Y happens at date D, and you're running the report on date E, what exchange rate should you use for the transaction?

Re: [GNC] Reconciliation "R" column question
Hi, The three* values (at least in English) are n, c, and y. Yes, you may freely swap between n and c in the register. It just causes a recomputation of account balances. I do not believe you can get to 'y' without going through formal reconciliation. I.e., I don't think you can type 'y' in there and have it be accepted, although I admit I've never tried to do that. It would be missing the "reconcile date" metadata for one thing. Hope this helps. -derek * There is also a 'v' (void) status.

All I have to do is to add a dummy split to indicate the relevant stock for this dividend. You could just put the stock as a Memo in one of the relevant splits. I don’t see a need for a dummy split. However, if I re-enter this transaction with USD 50.00 using the memorized transaction feature, only the first split transaction will be updated with "50.00" and I have to manually change the remain 3 figures. Exchange rate windows won't popup to calculate the currency conversion. Hmm... Seems like a bug. If you are entering transaction with two currencies GC will either ask, or make a guess, but I’ve never seen it do neither. What happens if you change the Dividend amount (as if you were entering this for the first time)? Does GC create new Trading or Imbalance splits? Does it alter the existing Trading splits? It's not autofill, that finished when it filled in the transaction with a copy of the other one that matched. It's because if there's more than two splits GnuCash doesn't know how to apportion the changed amount so the edit in basic view changes only the split in the current account.

The incorrect dollar figure in the report was the Within a transaction, GnuCash stores the # shares and the total value of those shares. The "share price" is a computed value.

While you can make GnuCash keep track of how many widgets you have, and the cost (value) of those widgets, there isn't really a good place to store location or other warehouse-like information. If you MUST use GnuCash, the best way to do it is to create a new stock type for each widget and then a new stock/mutual account for each widget. Then you record your purchase and sale txns just like you would for a stock purchase or sale. It's very cumbersome for lots of items, which is why we recommend you find another tool. > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ 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] Import matcher shortcomings, OFX realm (at least)

The need for multiple attempts at importing the same ofx file to get all the transactions imported is probably a result of a shortcoming in the matcher code when multiple same-dollar-value transactions (or nearly the same if Commercial ATM fee threshold is set to anything greater than 0.00) appear in the ofx file. One very common cause of such cases is vending machine transactions. If you never enter any of the same-value transactions manually, and only import them, then you’ll probably be OK, because the matcher will suggest that all the transactions should be Added rather than matched. If, however, you have even one of the same-value transactions entered manually, and a set of 5 same-value transactions incoming in the import file, the matcher’s default behavior is to display all 5 incoming transactions as having a good candidate match. The problem is that all five of those incoming transactions are pointed at a single transaction in the gnucash file. If you blithely click OK in the Matcher window, the import process matches the first incoming transaction to the existing transaction. Then when the second same-value transaction gets examined, the matcher says “Oh, I already matched that existing transaction, I’ll ignore this one”. And all subsequent same-value transaction that had reported they had a match in the file are ignored because the candidate match is already taken. Matching can be even messier if you have, say, 4 transactions of $2.00 entered in your data file, but 7 $2.00 transactions coming in with the import. The reason sequential imports work is that once a candidate is matched and the import process ends, the next time the import process is launched, that first transaction is no longer a candidate match because it now has an imported transaction ID associated with it (and the transaction ID prevents the incoming transaction from appearing at all anymore), and the matcher moves on (sometimes only one candidate transaction at a time). I did file a bug on this several years ago, but the matcher’s default match identification has not changed. What was added is the ability to double click a transaction in the matcher dialog window to see alternative transactions to match against. If you see multiple transactions in your matcher window with the same dollar value, you must inspect the potential matches for each one and select a different one from the top candidate picked by default for all the same-value transactions. I hope this explanation helps reduce the number of repeat imports you have to use. Dave -- Dave Reiser dbrei...@icloud.com

Hi, flywire writes: > Agree that import works in small chunks (as posted previously). Does that > response cover any way of getting GUIDs on the data? The GUIDs are 100% internal to GnuCash and unique per user per object (account, transaction, etc). There is no way to add GUIDs to imports, and even if you did it would never make sense because there is no way your bank or any other entity would know what GUID to use in your personal gnucash database. Just a case in point, even if you and I have the same account name, e.g. Expenses:Groceries, the GUID in my book and the GUID in your book would be different.

When you do a FIND from within a register, you are, by definition, limiting your search to the *account splits*. Transfer accounts are, by definition, in *other* splits, not the account splits. The reason is that you get a search query that looks like: Find splits where Split->account == register_account AND ( ... your stuff ... ) So, in short, you can't do what you want from within a register because of the way sub-searches are implemented.

The idea is that you probably never want to enter transactions more than e.g. 90 days old. The devs decided this is a more common desire than "don't enter last year". If you set a fixed date then you need to remember to change it all the time, whereas with a days-setting you can set it and forget it. If you're someone who enters transactions once a year, then yes, this might be a bit more problematic. If you enter transactions once a week, this makes much more sense.

Re: [GNC] notify when new version is available?
On the other hand, implementing it wouldn't be too hard to do. Not everyone updates their systems every day/week, so just knowing there is a more recent version if, for no other reason than to notify their distribution or look there, isn't a BAD thing. I'll note that there are other systems, even with packaging, that notify of updates. This is especially true of cross-platform systems. E.g., Chrome, Firefox.. Even the Unifi Controller software notifies of updates.

I honestly don't know if MacOS allows you to run two instances simultaneously. -derek On Fri, April 24, 2020 10:51 am, Eric Beversluis wrote: > I’m running GnuCash 3.7 on Mac 10.12.6. > > I can’t figure out how to open two files at once.

You need to upgrade to Win7, or you need to download a VERY OLD (and probably very buggy, and DEFINITELY unsupported) version of GnuCash. This error message means that the application is trying to call into a function that XP doesn't implement or support, which is not surprising since XP is almost 20 years old.

Re: [GNC] Debit & Credit headings
Nope. Most likely they are wrong in your mind because you learned them from bank and CC statements, which are *backwards* to you. A Bank account is an Asset to you, but to your bank it's a Liability! So Debits and Credits are backwards between your view and the Bank's view. Please go read the Tutorial and Guide which explains this. -derek On Wed, April 8, 2020 8:44 am, Robert Masding wrote: > They seem to be the wrong way round?

[GNC] [MAINT] Unplaned network outage yesterday, April 2, 2020
HI, There was a fiber break in my neighborhood yesterday which took out my network (and others) for multiple hours. It was eventually repaired and everything came back. Not much I could do about it. I called AT&T within 10 minutes to work on getting it repaired, but there was a truck at the site quickly and unrelated to my technician call. Once they repaired the line everything came back and mail started flowing again.

It depends on if you already have a digital record of the transactions or not. If you do (e.g. a QIF, OFX, ...) then you can import them in, with the caveats that if the bank made a mistake you will never notice it. Otherwise, in my experience the best way to enter transactions is do them as they come in. Entering a few transactions at a time is relatively quick. I tend to do them one account at a time (e.g., put all my Amex transactions together, then all my Visa transactions, etc). There are also many keyboard shortcuts you can use to speed up entry. E.g., if you want to enter Expenses:Auto:Fuel you can literally type: e x : a : f and it will autofill for you. Leverage autofill to help. In general you should never need to use the mouse to enter transactions (once you have the correct account register opened). Hope this helps!

Re: [GNC] Precision in exchange rate conversion
Hi, Are you doing this in a standard register or in a Stock/Mutual register? In a stock/mutual register it has inputs for quantity, amount, and price-per-unit. In this case, the quantity and amount are stored, and the price-per-unit is computed. You can enter 2/3 and GnuCash will compute the 3rd for you, so if we recommend entering in the two stored values. In the regular register, however, where you get an "exchange rate dialog", that's not how it works. In that case it DOES store and use the exchange rate. So if you have the rate "displayed" as a decimal then it can round and cause this behavior. If it's stored as a fraction, then you wont have that behavior. It USED to be the case that the "rate" column was hidden and always stored as a fraction, so this wasn't an issue. I'm not sure when it changed. John's message reminded me of this change, but I was unaware that it affected the rate column (which, IMHO, it should not have since it is supposed to be a non-visible column in the standard register). -derek On Thu, February 20, 2020 1:53 pm, Paul Abraham wrote: >No, sorry, that's not what I meant.

Re: [GNC] [GNC-dev] Fwd: Failed - import of QIF files from Quicken
Hi, Adrien Monteleone writes: > I seem to recall a development goal being to eliminate Scheme code > except for reports. > > This might be a good candidate for just re-writing this in C/C++ with > proper tests and verbose error output and/or logging. > > If someone with the skillset is interested of course. I started a re-write of the QIF importer in C a very very long time ago. That (failed) re-write has long-since been removed from the repo. It turns out that C is not very good at tokenizing and parsing strings. Funny that. I am sure that using std::string in C++ would make it a lot easier to reprogram, but honestly the existing QIF importer is fairly robust and fairly well tested (via time). The real downside of the current implementation is that it doesn't have a test suite where you can throw test-case QIF files at it and ensure you get a reasonable answer. Having said that, whether or not you can actually throw an error with the line number will depend deeply on where it fails. The way the process works is that it reads in the file (line by line) and tokenizes the data. At this point it would be relatively easy to output the line number. Then, after the file is tokenized, it actually goes through and parses the tokens for QIF correctness; most likely THIS is where the failure occurs, but at this point we don't have line numbers any more. So we COULD add a "see line number X" into the qif-file.scm (IIRC), but I doubt that's the stage of the process where the error happens. > Regards, > Adrien -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ 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.

[snip] Your best option is to enter a post-dated transaction. I.e., on the 12th you manually enter the payment for the 1st or 2nd. There is no way to do this in an "Automatic" way because the SX system does not have the ability to look at the account balance as of a particular date. Another thing to keep in mind is that there may be a delay in processing a transaction. Sometimes a CC transaction doesn't hit my CC account for a day or two, so transactions close to the ending date may end up on either side, which I wont know until I see the statement. Also note that when you Reconcile the CC, it will (unless you turn it off) pop up a transfer dialog to enter a payment transaction, and the amount of that transaction is the closing balance of the reconcile. So this is another way to do it.

First, note that we changed the numbering scheme between 2.x and 3.x. This means that 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6 are all *major* releases, with minor releases denoted in the third number. Whereas 3.x is the major release and 3.0, 3.1, etc. are all the minor releases. We try to guarantee one-major-release backwards. So e.g. 3.x will be readable by 2.6.21 (the latest 2.6 release), but we don't guarantee anything with older major releases (e.g. 2.4.x). We also try hard to guarantee forward release compatibility, so 3.x should be able to read 2.6, 2.4, and probably even 2.2 (or older) data files. Note, however, that sometimes there are new features that by definition will be incompatible. We also try to make those features optional, so you only make your data file unreadable by older version if you use those new-in-X features.

[GNC] [MAINT] Unexpected reboot/downtime of code (gnucash server)
Hi, TL;DR: The Ovirt VM system rebooted last night but the VMs didn't come back up. They are now back up and running normally (and the cause of the lack of restart has been corrected). Long Version: Some of you may have noticed that code was unavailable for the past 12 hours. Apparently the ovirt host rebooted last night around 10:45pm local time and the script to start the VMs on reboot didn't work. I've spent the past 3 hours debugging and determined the problem with the script was that the ovirt engine reports invalid state immediately upon reboot. Specifically, it reports that the storage domains are "up" even when they are not. It corrects itself shortly, but the startup script sees the storage as "up" and then tries to start the VMs (which fail to start). This has been fixed by adding a short delay between when the engine reports as "up" and when the script starts testing for the storage domains. I know this works because it ran from a clean restart of the ovirt host system. Still of concern is why the machine rebooted last night in the first place. I do not have an answer for that, and the logs don't really show anything of substance. I plan to continue to monitor the situation, and I will add some additional debugging in case it decides to reboot itself yet again. But at least if it does, we know the VMs will come back! :) Sorry for the downtime. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ 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] Duplicate emails in GnuCash Digests
I remember the duplicate email reception thread, but that didn't talk about the archives and seemed to be an issue with their mailer agent not filtering out the list vs. direct message (which should have the same message IDs). In this case, the issue would be on code alone. I don't see how code would self-duplicate the inbound messages. When I get a bit more time I will go look at the logs and match them up to the digest entries to try to see what's up. My initial guess is that they are being sent to the list twice But I have no data or proof to back that up. -derek On Tue, February 4, 2020 2:49 pm, Geert Janssens wrote: > Derek, > > There was a thread on duplicate mails not so long ago, though I don't > think it was about Digests > and it may have been on gnucash-devel. > > I have noticed mail duplication starting with David T's responses > (sunfish...).

Re: [GNC] [GNC-dev] [MAINT] Server Downtime to relocate hardware, Feb 1, 2020
Hi, I've got my main servers racked, network transitioned, and VM host upgraded. I turned the VM's back on around 23:30 local time. As you can see from this message, code is now passing mail again. I know gncbot is also sitting in IRC. So I'm going to call the server back up and running. If you see any issues please let me know and I'll check it in the morning. I do still have some work to do; the VMs didn't come up on their own and needed some manual intervention. I know why, but I'm going to have to track down how to work around the new issue. :( Unfortunately testing this might require more downtime to ensure it's working. I'll try to schedule that when I can. For now, I'm going to try to get some rest.

Re: [GNC] [GNC-dev] [MAINT] Server Downtime to relocate hardware, Feb 1, 2020
Hi, Just a reminder that this is scheduled for tomorrow. I am expecting the work to start around 4pm US/ET (2100 UTC). I will send one more email before I start to turn down servers, and will be on IRC as much as I can during the work.

Re: [GNC] Unposting an Invoice - Reset Tax Tables Prompt
Hi, Keith Fetterman writes: > Hi, > > I am a newbie with GnuCash invoicing. When I unpost an invoice, I > receive a prompt that says “Reset Tax Tables to Present Values?”. > What happens when I answer either Yes or No? The Tax Tables are Copy-On-Write objects. When you post an Invoice gnucash makes a snapshot copy of that tax table so that if, down the road, you modify the entries it wont affect the results (because invoice tax values are always computed and not stored). Imagine if you went to go reprint an invoice from 2 years ago and it uses today's taxes instead of the taxes from 2 years ago!! So when you unpost the invoice, it asks whether to reset the tax tables. In other words, do you keep the taxes as they were when you first posted the invoice, or should you update them to the current values. If your taxes haven't changed, then the answer doesn't matter. But if you HAVE edited the tax tables, then the answer DOES matter based on why you're unposting. > I searched the GnuCash documentation and searched the mailing list, > but I wasn’t able to find an answers. > > I have always answered Yes, but I would like to know what happens when > I answer Yes or No. Hope the above explanation helps. > Thanks > Keith > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ 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.

[GNC] [MAINT] Server Downtime to relocate hardware, Feb 1, 2020
Hi, TL;DR: I plan to move the hardware that runs code.gnucash.org on the afternoon/evening of February 1, 2020, which will involve some significant downtime as the machine is physically moved and then racked. Expect anywhere from 4-12 hours of downtime for email, wiki, archives, gncbot, and git master. Exact time TBD; real-time updates will go to #gnucash on IRC. Long version: On the afternoon of February 1, 2020 I plan to relocate my hardware to its more permanent location. This will involve significant downtime because I have toL 1) shut down the systems 2) reconfigure the local network at the old location 3) reroute the IPv4 tunnel to the new location (which requires coordination with another entity) 4) physically move the machines from the old location to new location 5) install the new machines in the racks at the new location 6) reconfigure the local network for the tunnel 7) turn on an test I expect this whole process will take at least 4 hours, but probably much longer depending on many variables. However, once it is complete the system will be (back) on a 1Gb fiber with a good-sized UPS for short-to-medium length power outages (which we've had none in the past 2 years). I will send an email about 30 minutes before I begin, and again after the project is complete. I'll remain on IRC in the interim for more real-time updates. During this outage, most gnucash services will be unavailable. This includes: email lists and archives, wiki, git master, IRC gncbot, build services, etc. The web site, www.gnucash.org, will remain available and I will post a news article about the maintenance. DEVS: Please let me know ASAP if there are specific time frames that would adversely affect you. I do have some flexibility in doing this work. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns prior to this work.

Re: [GNC] FW: Multiple copies of gnucash-user messages from the list
Hi, If you are getting duplicates, then it is because you are in the CC. Like this message, you are in the CC so you will get one copy directly and one through the list server. The 'via GnuCash' is most likely due to people with domains with DMARC rules that would prevent verification unless the >From address is munged. Still, your mailer should be able to notice it's the same message (Duplicate Message-ID header) and only show you one. If you are getting *MORE* than two copies of messages, please let me know! Maybe send me the full headers of the duplicates. Thanks, -derek On Tue, January 21, 2020 11:03 am, Alan wrote: > Hey, is anyone making any progress with this?

Re: [GNC] Tracking designated balances in the total checking account balance?
Hi. Use Subaccounts for each fund. When you reconcile, ensure you check the Include Subaccounts checkbox. -derek Sent using my mobile device. Please excuse any typos. On January 9, 2020 8:05:47 AM Nate Bargmann wrote: The issue I am wrestling with is how to deal with what I will call designated funds that our organization tracks internally but are just part of the one checking account. To explain further. Say there is a total checking balance of $1000.00. Then say there are two standing funds one with $200.00 and the other with $400.00. Conceptually I have: Fund A $200.00 Fund B $400.00 Undesignated$400.00 Total (as the bank statement shows) $1000.00 As deposits and withdrawals are made, in order to keep sync with the bank statement I should just work with the running account total at all times. Initially, I thought I should create and transfer funds to additional Assets accounts, but this doesn't work, as I see it, especially for reconciliations as the checking balance gets reduced accordingly. If I don't track the bank account closely, I'll go insane! I guess the standing funds will need to be tracked outside of GNU Cash, perhaps in a spreadsheet. Their balances will change throughout the year but not so often as to make this method unmanageable. The outgoing Treasurer used Quicken/Quick Books (whichever, I don't know) and he gave me several .qdf-backup files which are naturally not usable by GNU Cash. I'm not sure if he understood my request for an export to .qif. I'm loathe to buy a Windows 10 computer just for this so I'm starting from scratch to get going as quickly as possible and then may try to help him generate a .qif file sometime down the road. I'm not sure how he tracked the standing/designated balances. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
