[GNC] Are there any add-on modules for Gnucash
I'm currently running Gnucash 3.3 under Windows 10. Currently I would need to do a large amount of manual entering/editing to record some investment transactions I require. Are there any add-on modules available that manipulate transactions and/or what programming language would be required for my setup? ___ 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] Pension Fund
I also have asset accounts that tracked both personal and company pension plans. These I have keep and am withdrawing from them and depositing those as income into bank accounts. My personal pension plan is invested in mutual funds and as such have dividends, etc. required to be tracked to keep them current. The company pension plans is also being withdrawn and reducing to zero at which time the income will be designated as coming from an outside source other than the gnucash company pension plan account. -Original Message- From: gnucash-user [mailto:gnucash-user-bounces+hfoerster=shaw...@gnucash.org] On Behalf Of rsbrux via gnucash-user Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2019 9:16 AM To: rsbrux via gnucash-user Subject: [GNC] Pension Fund I had created a couple of accounts to track the capital of (and contributions to) pension funds for myself and my wife. Now we are drawing pensions from those funds, but cannot calculate our benefits as a simple draw-down of the capital. I don't want or need the capital to appear in our accounting any longer. The only information I could find in the GC documentation about pensions pertains to U.S. tax reporting, but this is not relevant for me.

Re: [GNC] Transferring portion of mutual fund account to another fund account
Hi. I've haven't finalized my method to accomplish the fund transfer at cost, but it does involve selling the specified number of fund units, using the lots utility and scrubbing. This will generate an orphan capital gain which can then be used to calculate the cost basis for the specified units. The entries from the scrubbing are then deleted from the account and the sell transaction is modified with the value of the calculated cost basis. The lot and scrubbing utility are again used and should produce a total orphan capital gain of 0 and the proper entries and transfer to the other account. This procedure will also create incorrect entries into the price database for the respective mutual fund units, which should be deleted. I'm not quite finished looking into this but it seems to be the way to go since scrubbing maintains the allotment of the units on a FIFO basis and future transfers can be done on the remaining lots. -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of D via gnucash-user Sent: February 6, 2019 7:38 AM To: alen siljak@gmx. com ; Gnucash Users Subject: Re: [GNC] Transferring portion of mutual fund account to another fund account On February 6, 2019, at 2:10 PM, cicko wrote: >Hi, Harry, >What I do is simply create a transaction which subtracts shares from >one accounts and puts them into the other. >This, of course, does not track the original prices.

Cicko, you're wrong on this point. Gnucash does keep track of each of these lots, and will calculate gains on the separate lots when you scrub lots. The scrub function in this case will actually take your original sell transaction and create lot-based sell splits, and then separate gains transactions for each lot. I have found these transactions to be accurate for mutual funds, where commissions and fees are not specified. With stock sales, I get tripped up by the fees and commissions, which I manually adjust after the fact. Some have noted that a user could record their stock purchases in the same way (i.e., roll the fees into the purchase price) but that rubs my sensibilities (such as they are) the wrong way.I David >In that regard, I'm also interested in what others are doing.

Re: [GNC] Transferring portion of mutual fund account to another fund account
It seems this email request has gone sideways a bit. The actual transactions are being handled by the financial institutions accordingly and reported to me in statements. I fully believe their accountants are following the proper Canadian financial security laws. The crust of my request for assistance was how I could personally record these transaction into Gnucash; what steps or procedures does Gnucash have to allow the transfer, on the cost basis, of units between accounts in Gnucash. Any suggestions or hints on a path to follow is appreciated. -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of Michael or Penny Novack Sent: February 5, 2019 8:58 AM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] Transferring portion of mutual fund account to another fund account On 2/4/2019 8:09 PM, David Carlson wrote: > If you are in the US and both funds are within the same custodial > account the answer is trivial, just sell one and buy the other.

[GNC] Transferring portion of mutual fund account to another fund account
Hello I'm a recent user of Gnucash coming over from the Quicken world. I would like to get some guidance on how to properly transfer a portion of a mutual fund total units in account X into another mutual fund account Y. The transferred units from account X are taken out on a FIFO basis and into account Y maintaining the cost basis. This transfer is not a sale and purchase and as such does not involve capital gains or losses. I've looked at the concept of lots and scrubbing but I'm uncertain on how the transfer gets into the other account.
