[GNC] PDF creation option
I've created some .pdfs of P reports, and set the report to use the two-column layout. I just discovered this option doesn't size the output to the printed page, so the far right totals (the number I'm most interested in - the net P/L for the period) are missing. Changing the report layout to a single column so that the expenses are under the income rather than beside them solves this issue, although there's next-to-no margins on the page. Any suggestions as to how to produce good-looking reports from GnuCash? Thanks. ___ 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] Can't get Scheduled Transactions to work
Thanks. Good to know it’s not just me – lol! The thing about the template that is presented when editing a scheduled transaction is that I expected that it would start out populated to match the one that was selected to drive the process in the first place. Going in to edit and finding a blank template is, at the very least, confusing. As others are going to have to learn how to use this work. I think the easiest thing to do for most reoccurring transactions since most have a piece of data that changes from month-to-month is to just scroll back thru the G/J or use the search function and then duplicate a recent transaction. So, I dumped the ST approach and just made a single, complex transaction for the 1st of the month that posts all units’ assessments owed to their accounts. Now the first step each month will be to just duplicate that. From: David Carlson Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2022 01:31 To: Jed Taylor Cc: Gnucash Users Subject: Re: [GNC] Can't get Scheduled Transactions to work Jed, Scheduled transactions have had an issue for a long time that may explain part of what you are seeing, as it involves templates showing up unexpectedly in certain situations. see https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741674, which, coincidentally is just now being addressed, but it does not explain everything that you are describing. One other characteristic of scheduled transactions that is not obvious is the fact that when an existing transaction is taken as a template to create a new scheduled transaction, that transaction does not become a vector to use to point the editor to the template for further editing like transactions which have actually been created by the Since Last Run demon. In other words, I can add a little information but I do not have enough information to solve your concern. Sorry that I cannot help more.

Re: [GNC] Can't get Scheduled Transactions to work
Update - now that I've got the first month of transactions entered, and I'm going back to see if the ST feature behaves more as expected, I'm getting it to create the monthly A/R entry for each unit between 2020-11 and 2022-01. And those monthly entries are what show up in the G/J page showing me the created transactions to review. Unfortunately, I'm also getting in the main G/J tab a transaction dated today, 2022-01-28, with the garbage hexadecimals info in the accounts fields to post the transaction to, and I have to manually delete this last transaction after I tell it to execute the ST process. Shouldn't what's in the Review Transactions G/J match *exactly* with what's been posted to G/J? Why the extra transaction dated today when it knows that all the others are the first day of the month?
