Re: [GNC] Reconciling subaccounts
Many thanks Adrien. I will go to bugs.gnucash.org and take a look at how to submit my experience. From: Adrien Monteleone To: Sent: 06/10/2022 7:17 PM Subject: Re: [GNC] Reconciling subaccounts Thanks for the details. I'd say this is a bug, as the expected result would be to have the reconcile status of sub-accounts updated. You should file that on bugs.gnucash.org It *might* be designed that way however. I could be wrong, but I think the idea for this feature is to be used for 'virtual' sub-accounts that are used for segregating funds in your own books, but not actual multiple real-world accounts with an institution. The parent is the real account in such a case, so that might be why it is the only one marked reconciled with a date. (it is the only one with a statement to reconcile against) In your case, you seem to be trying to reconcile multiple real accounts through a placeholder parent. But GnuCash doesn't know that. (or 'reconciling' non-institution accounts, such as Expenses.) Until it is 'fixed' or changed, I guess your option is to continue to reconcile-finish the sub-accounts to update them, or else just reconcile them all individually rather than together as sub-accounts.

Re: [GNC] Reconciling subaccounts
My apologies Adrien, I will be more specific. Line 2 - >Sales -> A/c No 01: all the subsequent lines starting '01-' are the subaccounts. Reconciling 01 with subaccounts ticked will reconcile all of them, but only update 01's date field. I then step through the subaccounts and as they are all already reconciled I just press 'Finish' to update their date. Line 11 is a single entry with no subaccounts. Line 12 is similar to Line 2, a Placeholder with three subaccounts. I have tried to indicate the above in Column E, however I have made a mistake with Lines 64, 71 and 77. They have no subaccounts, I annotated them in error as all the top level accounts are reconciled. In terms of consistency I failed to annotate Lines 12, 17 and 59. Looking back this is a scrappy piece of work put together in haste. I hope you will be able to extract something useful, or I will happily do it again. Please advise. Line 18 (A/c code 5 (should be 05)) is particularly interesting. This has subaccounts and they have Placeholders which have subaccounts i.e. three levels deep. Reconciling the top level reconciles all the other levels, however once more it only updates the date at the top level. I do not find it too onerous to live with this little extra keyboard activity. I just wondered if I was doing something wrong again. Many thank again, Uttam From: Adrien Monteleone To: Sent: 03/10/2022 3:19 PM Subject: Re: [GNC] Reconciling subaccounts Okay, so now we see the account structure, but now, can you give an example of which parent account you were trying to reconcile with sub-accounts that did not update their last-reconciled dates?

Re: [GNC] Reconciliation Report -> Trade Debtors -> pairing transactions
Dear Michael, Many thanks to both you and Adrien. Both the answers are far more considered than my initial comment had intended to provoke, thank you. I had made my original comment by way of explaining how I was approaching the puzzle i.e. in the early eighties I would parse the software through a hexadecimal editor such as Norton and then check the search results in plain English by interrogating the Audit Trail. It seems so primitive compared to what I have just learned. In general today I'm very happy to use the TB as my critical check at the risk of missing out on any reciprocating errors. I find they either prove de minimis or so big that they don't stay hidden. The first part part of what I was seeking has been addressed by Adrien. If there is a way to get the average debtor/creditor days this would be the icing on the cake. Returning to Gnucash I find it the best piece of software I have used in 40yrs and it handles our needs brilliantly. I love the way it sticks to the T-bar principles, I'm sure the Medici would have loved it and could have avoided so much bloodshed. I appreciate it is far more capable than simple bookkeeping, the limitation is that is all I know. I was put out to grass nearly a decade ago and I only get to do this as it is a small business (just my wife and son evangelising Linux - fun but not particularly business-like). The multi-user issues that you recall bring a smile to my face as they can no longer strike terror into my soul.

As somebody who used to do this (for one of the world's largest "financials") my comment might (or might not) be useful. a) The accounting system itself (its own reporting functions) would not provide a way of reporting when/who by. It is important to understand that this information is NOT part of the accounting system. Accounting is not a "real time" process nor would who by (what worker bee) be relevant to the question of correctness in an accounting sense. b) But there are OTHER ways in which general ledger might be audited. Internally correct is one matter, but externally correct is another. For example,here we have an invoice marked paid by check. But WAS there actually such a check, and if not, who (falsely) entered that invoice as paid and when. How many of you when first learning to use gnucash created a set of "test books" and into these entered a number of "test transactions"? Understand? There was nothing wrong internally with this set of test books you were using to learn gnucash but they matched nothing in the real world. c) Like I said, there would be no functions PART of the accounting system to be used for this sort of purpose. But when the auditors (checking against the real world) found something suspicious, this sort of problem would come t my desk. "Mike, figure out who entered THIS transaction and when". So I would figure out what feed to the system would have fed that transaction to general ledger, get the right backup tape recovered from the vaults, and with a little "ad hoc" program I'd write for the purpose, get that information. It's not as if I'd be writing a lot of these ad hoc programs from scratch, just take to one I used last time and change a line or two of code. THIS sort of "check against the real world" was rare. I [probably did only a few times a year. More often it was personal and quickly enough after that fact I didn't have to have backups recovered from the vault. Thus suppose I was handed a problem from a client area "here's what one of our worker bees entered but it didn't "take", figure out the bug". Well actually MOST of the time no bug. Just a typo, what was on the piece of paper (as what was entered) didn't match what the worker bee actually entered at the terminal. We all do typos, and that's how I would report the problem as solved. No harm done. I probably did a few of THESE per week. It'd have been a waste of programmer time my handing off to one of our

If you mean to match up payments with Invoices, yes, but not with that report. What you are looking for is the Customer Report.

[GNC] Reconciliation Report -> Trade Debtors -> pairing transactions
Dear All, I am using the Reconciliation Report configured as: Accounts = Trade Debtors ->Currency / Display / Filter = defaults -> General - current period selected -> Sorting by Description then Date. Is there a way to use this pool of information and pair a receipt with an Invoice as per the case when the transaction was entered? Is there a breadcrumb trail? Am I going about this the wrong way? Background: we are a small business supporting small businesses. We are sympathetic to some clients needing to pay us monthly. However simple we try to be a few still manage to lose their way and then we have to go back and match receipts to invoices made difficult by the fact that the monthly sums are the same. The good thing is if we hold their hand eventually they get organised and the problem goes away. Sadly we have only managed to use this as an opportunity to move them to Gnucash on only one occasion so far. We live in hope. All comments will be gratefully received.

[GNC] Last Reconcile Date fails to update for subaccounts
Dear All, First my thanks to the GnuCash team for the software. I'm running V4.x under W10 or Mint (flatpak) depending on need. My wife and son work together operating as a small UK Limited Company. Their chart of accounts has several parent accounts with subaccounts e.g. Motoring with Fuel, Dent Removal, etc, or Bank with Current a/c, GK a/c (God only knows), etc. The parent accounts are placeholders with no transactions. Action: Accounts screen → select placeholder → right click and select reconcile → set date → include subaccounts → reconcile. All being well the reconcile date of the placeholder will update. The subaccounts' date will not, though the transactions will be correctly reconciled. Where do I start looking for the right question?

[GNC] Badly formed URL unknown-type
Dear Geert, In our GnuCash working directory I ran "cat *.log | grep 'Google' > test.csv" In a moment of contemplation I questioned if I am chasing down the wrong rabbit hole? To go back a little, I have become so sure of GnuCash I have become lazy about taking a milestone backup after every session. I have no excuse as we do the books every 3-6 weeks so it was not really too hard to do. Anyway the long and the short of it is that this year I have only taken milestones backups on 18/2/19, 25/4/19, 6/9/19 and 13/9/19 when I spotted the 'Payable Ageing' anomaly. I have now restored each of the above and I have to go back to the 18/2/19 backup before the error disappears. I'm now ruminating about my next step. I switched my son's and wife's business over to GnuCash on 13/9/2016. I wonder if it needs a thorough audit. I'm not sure who to ask as it is not well supported by the accountants even though it is the best double entry system I have come across in 30yrs. I appreciate that from your point of view it is a great deal more than that. Hey ho, it is Friday evening. A Belgian beer is called for and then perhaps inspiration may strike overnight. My thanks to you, the team, and the community. As always, intervention and advice will be gratefully received. I'm happy to do the digging once I work out where to dig.

Re: [GNC] Badly formed URL unknown-type
Dear Geert, Please accept this largely as a best guess. I suspect the problem stems from the Google Adwords account. Google withdraw money every month and send bills without consideration to what they withdraw. Tying up payments against invoices only clears down once in a blue moon. I think I recall seeing in the bill payment screen a couple of of part prepayments and an invoice, so I decided to select all the entries -> enter the date & amount of the latest payment and hoped it would all work out. I find GnuCash logical and robust and my faith remains unshaken. I vaguely recall checking the Vendors report and amending some entries/dates. I am sorry to be so vague. Now that you mention it, I have not gone back and reconciled all the entries in the Vendor's report by hand. Truth is that due to circumstances we had to catch up on two month's entries and were trying to get through it as quickly as we could. Though it would take some time, I can return to an earlier backup and re-enter everything again if this would help. I understand about looking through the A/P, but I do not know about 'the Lot viewer'. Thinking about the restoring from backup idea, perhaps I can grep the automated backups for '2.54'? Do you think this would be useful? Is this the Lot viewer? For full disclosure, I am beyond retirement age and my wife and son have put me out to grass to enjoy my days. This invariably means that I have more to do each day than I can fit in. We run GnuCash on a dedicated computer so that while we can link to the internet, we can also work independently should we wish to. This means I have to go to their office to work. Kindly allow me a few days. Thank you, the team and the community, for all your support. Please bear with me while I try to master how to reply to the list.

Re: [GNC] Badly formed URL unknown-type
My apologies for the bump. Thank you Liz and thank you John for being patient with me. Also, I may have made a mess of sending this message as I'm struggling with the 'technology' i.e. I'm notified by the digest, I then visit https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2019-September/087015.html to view the whole thread and as I use roundcube on iredmail through brave, I do not have an automated 'reply all' functionality. I have therefore handmade a pseudo 'reply all' with this message and hope it works. I'm sure I'm doing this all wrong and consider it a 'work in progress'/'life'. This is not a question as it is off-topic, but assistance or guidance given will be gratefully received and acknowledged.
