Re: [GNC] Problem Editing Payment - Customer Job
Hi Adrien, Thanks for the feedback. I downloaded the latest version of GnuCash 4.11, and the issue still exists. When I edit an existing payment, the job name appears where the customer name should appear in the payment dialog. If you try to remove the job name, you can’t enter or find the customer. When the payment dialog is initially opened, you also get a warning dialog that says “You have no valid “Post To” accounts. Once you close this dialog, the Post To field is empty and you can not select an account. When you open the existing invoice, it shows both the customer and job. I checked and the job is only associated with a single customer and not a vendor. If I delete the payment and create a new one, I can enter the customer then select the invoice that had the job assigned to it. This appears to me as a defect in the edit payment. A payment is associated with a customer, not a job, and it’s applied to an invoice associated with the customer. I wish one of the developers would take a look at the defect that I filed back in 2021. Thanks for responding.

[GNC] Problem Editing Payment - Customer Job
Back in 2021, I reported an issue that I was having with editing an invoice payment if the invoice had a job associated with it. When I try to edit the payment, the payment dialog shows the job and not the customer, and I can not select the customer. This issue still exists in GnuCash 4.9. Has anyone else encountered the issue? Does anyone else use jobs with invoices and have not experienced this problem? I have to delete the payment and create a new one. I submitted a Bugzilla bug (Bug 798210), but I haven’t seen any activity on the ticket since I posted it.

Re: [GNC] Customer Deposits
Hi Adrien, Thank you for sharing your experience and suggestions. It’s too much work to generate the reports outside of GnuCash, so I am going to follow your lead and switch to doing pre-payments. I thought it was important to show the customer deposits in a separate liability account. I hadn’t thought of the pre-payments as a having a contra affect on the accounts receivables, which makes sense.

[GNC] Customer Deposits
Is there a way to configure GnuCash to enter customer pre-payments a “Customer Deposits” liability account under the “Liabilities” account and have the pre-payment appear in a customer report? Currently, when you enter a customer payment as a pre-payment it appears as a negative amount in the accounts receivable account. I would like pre-payments to entered into a “customer deposits" liability account so they appear as a liability to the company. When I pay the customer invoices, I can pay them from the “customer deposits” liability account. I experimented with using a Customer Payment to enter the payment into the AR account then use a journal entry between the AR account and the “customer deposits” liability account. When I pay an invoice from the “customer deposits” account, I get two payments in the customer report. I can create transactions between a bank account and a “customer deposits” liability account to represent the customer deposit, but it does not appear in a customer report. It would be nice to have this shown in the customer report.

[GNC] Problem Editing Payment - Customer Job
Hi, I am encountering a problem with GnuCash 4.5 where I can not edit an existing customer payment if the payment is for invoices that have a job associated with them. When I select “Edit payment” on an existing payment, I see a dialog overlaying the Process Payment dialog that says: You have no valid “Post To” accounts. Please create an account of type “” before you continue to process this payment. Perhaps you want to create an Invoice or Bill first?. When I close this dialog, the Process Payment dialog shows the job name where the customer name usually appears in the upper left sections. The Post To account select is blank and the invoice(s) that were originally selected when the payment was created are missing. I attempted to replace the job name with the customer name, but it only accepts the other jobs for that customer. You can not find or select a customer. Am I doing something wrong or is this a defect in GnuCash 4.5? If my invoices do not have a job selected, I do have an issue editing an existing payment. It only happens when the invoices have a job associated with them. I am using GnuCash 4.5 on MacOS Catalina. I searched Bugzilla, but I didn’t find an existing defect.

Re: [GNC] How To Remove All Old Invoices
Has anyone found a way to remove old invoices? I am using a GnuCash accounting file for a different business, but I want to retain the same customers. I followed the steps below to remove the old transactions and use the same chart of accounts. I discovered today that the old file also retained all of the previous invoices, and I didn’t find a command to delete them. Is there anyway to remove the old invoices? If not, I think I will need to start from scratch and re-import the customers. Unfortunately, that would mean having to go through each customer and reestablish the billing terms and sales tax table assignements. > On Mar 20, 2021, at 6:30 PM, Geoff wrote: > > How about: > .

Re: [GNC] How To Remove All Transactions
Geoff, That appears to work. The only thing that I lost was the Tax Report Options that were assigned to the original accounts. That’s a minor pain to reconfigure, but a lot less of a pain than setting up everything and re-importing customers. Thanks Keith > On Mar 20, 2021, at 6:30 PM, Geoff wrote: > > How about: > .

[GNC] Assigning TXF Category to Returns & Allowances Income Account Issue
I am assigning the tax (TXF) categories to my income and expense accounts, and I have run into an issue with assigning the tax category to my “Returns & Allowances” income account. The tax category "Schedule C Returns and Allowances” category appears for expense accounts, but not income accounts. There seems to be a mistake in GnuCash because the “Returns & Allowances” account should appear in the income section of an income statement. It appears in the income section of the IRS Schedule C form. I looked up what a “Returns & Allowances” account is, and it’s defined as a contra-revenue account. Is this a defect in Gnucash or do I have the account in the wrong place?

Hi Alex, Thank you finding this. I dug deeper in the Gnucash help manual and found the sections that you referred to. Thanks for the clarification about the copy number. I’ve seen that used in TurboTax. It all makes sense.

[GNC] How To Set Tax Report Options
Is there documentation on how to set tax report options for multiple accounts? I am trying to set the income tax classifications (TXF Categories) for multiple expense and income accounts, but it doesn’t seem to be able to do more than one account at a time. Here is what I am doing. Set income tax identity to “Individual, Joint …” Select an expense account Click the Tax Related checkbox Select a TXF Category Select another expense account Click the Tax Related checkbox Select a TXF Category etc. When I return to a previous expense account, the Tax Related checkbox is unchecked and the TXF Category assignment is cleared. Do you have to run the “Tax Report Options” assignment separately for each account? By this I mean, perform the steps above for a single account then click the “OK” button to close the dialog?

Re: [GNC] Printed Reports Being Cutoff
Hi David, Thanks for the feedback. I tested exporting as PDF. It has the same problem. It cut’s off account names in the same place as the printed report. Your suggestion gave me an idea. I discovered that when I export the file as an html file and print it, it does not cut off the account names. Nice. A bit more work, but I don’t print often, so no big deal.

Re: [GNC] Sales Tax Report
First off, thanks everyone for responding to my post about Sales Tax Report. I really appreciate it. It’s helped a lot. Adrien, I agree that editing the invoice lines is not really option, especially since the customers receive the invoices. You could include a standardized location code on each line, but what a pain. And, if a mistake was made, the invoice would have to be unposted to change. Based on everyone’s comments, I now see that creating sub accounts for each tax table would grow considerably if there were a lot of work locations with different tax tables. Stephen’s idea of a separate database is a good idea, especially when customers have multiple locations. Your idea creating a new report using Scheme is interesting. I didn't considered that because I haven’t written custom reports before. Can you write a report using Scheme that can access invoices? Does writing a report in Scheme require GnuCash software to be built from source? > On Jan 21, 2020, at 3:22 PM, gnucash-user-requ...@gnucash.org wrote: > > > Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2020 12:41:16 -0600 > From: Adrien Monteleone > To: GnuCash users group > Subject: Re: [GNC] Sales Tax Report > Message-ID: <00d6135e-d567-4933-a327-336d0192a...@lusfiber.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > > >> On Jan 19, 2020 w4d19, at 12:22 PM, Keith Fetterman >> wrote: >> >> Adrien, >> >> Thanks for the help. >> >> In the state of Washington, we need to report the local city/county sales >> tax for each physical location we do work in.

Re: [GNC] Sales Tax Report
Adrien, Thanks for the help. In the state of Washington, we need to report the local city/county sales tax for each physical location we do work in. The state assigns a tax code based on address. The business is a very small landscaping business that only does work in a few local locations, so fortunately there are not many tax codes to keep track of. I have created a tax table for each tax code and assigned it to a customer. This works because the physical work locations are the customers’ homes. If work done in a different location, it’s almost always in the same area. I see what you mean about creating a sub account for each custom location. In general, this could become very large. Your suggestion of using filters is a good one. I hadn’t thought of it. But, it doesn’t appear that you add notes to the memo lines of an invoice. I tested adding a note in the invoice to see if it would appear in the memo line in AR. It doesn’t. The invoice transaction in the AR is locked so you can not edit the memo lines. The ideal solution is a report of taxable sales by tax table.

[GNC] Unposting an Invoice - Reset Tax Tables Prompt
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? 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. Thanks Keith ___ 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] Sales Tax Report
Christopher, Thank you. This report kinda works. It doesn’t report the tax by tax table. It only reports the tax by the sales tax liability account. But, I can make it work if I create sub accounts under the liability account for each tax table and assign the tax table entries to the appropriate sub account. Seems to be a bit of kludge, but maybe that’s how it is intended to work. I am not an accounting expert. Thanks a lot for the help.

[GNC] Sales Tax Report
Is there a report in GunCash that shows sales by tax table (tax code)? I need to file an end of year sales tax report to the state showing the sales by tax code. I created a tax table for each customer’s city and assigned the entries to the customers. Now, I would like to generate a sales report based on last year’s sales by tax table.
