I don't know where you've looked, but in the Budget Report options, on the 
General tab, there is a checkbox labelled 'Use accumulated amounts'. Is that 
what you're looking for? When checked the accumulated amount budgeted over all 
periods up to the that period is shown. When unchecked only the amount 
budgeted for that period is shown.

If it is a SQLite file, you need to have `libdbd-sqlite3` installed.

Re: [GNC] Recommended Method of Entry for IRA Distributions

I apologize for not using "debit" and "credit" terms, but I'm not sure 
I'd

get them right.


I also have to think a bit sometimes to get them right. As someone(s) 
said, debits are always on the left, credits on the right. I just 
remember that money flows from right to left, from the credited accounts 
to the debited accounts. I find that easier to remember than which types 
of accounts increase with debits, etc.

It would perhaps be a good idea to explain WHERE that other user data 
is stored so that users so gnucash can include that in their gnucash 
back-ups (and so in moves to a different computer). I don't mean just 
on the list, but also in the documentation under back-up instructions. 
I realize that the location might be different for different OS's.

Re: [GNC] Can someone confirm if this split transaction is correct?

2022-12-12 Thread Mark Penner via gnucash-user


Dec 12, 2022 14:39:13 Dr. David Kirkby :


So at one point your PayPal account has the full amount, then you split
that, so the fees are removed?


When you process payment, you'll get a transaction like:
DebitĀ  Paypal: 906
Credit A/R: 906

Edit that transaction by subtracting the fee from the amount debited to 
PayPal and make a debit to Fees. The transaction should then look 
something like:

DebitĀ  Paypal: 867.74
Debit Fees: 38.26
Credit A/R: 906

Dec 12, 2022 10:26:24 Dr. David Kirkby :


Now I'm a bit lost on what I should be doing.

When I create the invoice

Business -> Customer -> ,New Invoice,

a copy of which I will send to the customer, I don't want the PayPal 
fees

showing. So I post the invoice without the PayPal fees showing. That is
going into

Assets -> Accounts Receivable -> PayPal (GPB)
(the name might have changed slightly since when I originally posted, 
but

the functionality should be obvious)

After that, to process the payment

Business -> Customer -> Process Payment

I can only select one transfer account, which is not what I want to do.

What item(s) on the menu should I be using to make the correct debits 
and
credits to move the money into the PayPal account and the expenses 
account

from the Accounts Receivable -> PayPal (GPB)?


When I process payment, I choose my PayPal account, then edit the 
transaction by adding a split for the fee and subtracting the fee from 
the debit to PayPal. Don't change the Accounts Receivable split.

If someone has a better solution, I would like to hear it too.
