[GNC] Entering Dividend Confusion
Hi all, I'm trying to enter dividends, I'm following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRNoabz1WSo but his page shows columns with shares/price/debt/credit, but mine has just buy/sell any ideas? How do I get those columns? I'm in Australia, so I wanted to enter dividend payments as 3 types: Taxed (franked), Untaxed (unfranked) and the Tax credit (input credit), and I reinvest the dividends typically. Thanks: All advice welcomed. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Fwd: Bonus share entry
I managed to sort the capital reconstruction out: Stock split with a negative value. As for the naming and code issue: I think I'll just rename the stock to it's final name, and enter notes on the earlier transactions before the name change? Or is there a proper way to handle this? I was also thinking the stock merger feature could be used?

[GNC] Fwd: Fwd: Bonus share entry
Thanks everyone: I think David's tab trick worked. It appears to have worked anyways. Now my next trick, is a double trick: During the ownership of a company, it has changed it's name/code. How does one best handle this? and I have 163 shares in a company that had a capital reconstruction, and after wards it has 98 shares: So the reverse of a stock split: Can the stock split process handle this? I appreciate everyone's input.

[GNC] Bonus share entry
Hi all, I have some bonus shares that were issued with no cost to me: I am having trouble entering them without a cost. When I put 0 as the cost, on the next line 1 appears, and I am unable to get rid of it. Perhaps I'm doing this the wrong way, and need to be entering them as a share split? In this case, I had 100 shares, and got issued 16 for no cost: so I have 116 in total. Any ideas?

Re: [GNC] Stocks/Equities queries (Australian Based)
HI guys, I got several stocks all entered in now: Really happy with how that's gone. Now I'm tripped up on a bonus issue of shares. For some reason I'm lost one how to enter these bonus shares that cost zero. I enter in 16 new shares to the correct asset/stocks/sharecode account, but even when I put zero as the cost, automatically a value of 1 appears on the next line of the split: I am unable to remove this 1. These shares were a bonus, with zero cost to the holders. Any ideas? Thank you.

[GNC] Stocks/Equities queries (Australian Based)
Hi all. Just getting all my stocks entered into GNC. Reading the concepts/tutorial last night, I see 2 methods of setting up: Purchasing or setting up with an opening balance. I have records stretching back to the early 80's. Being Australian stocks, most spit out yearly/6 monthly or even quarterly dividends, and where possible, I use the DRIP (Dividend Re-Investment Plan) So if possible, I'd like to get that ALL entered. But for the time being, my question is: If I setup my accounts as they are now, using an opening balance, can I at a later date go back and adjust, and enter the earlier purchases/dividends of stocks/equities?

[GNC] Australian Initial Setup Q's
Hi all: Great to see how active the mailing list is. I'm in the process of getting all my finances into gnucash. Up until know I've been using a spreadsheet to track all my shares/stocks, fund and interest income. I've read and continue to read the guide and principles, and I run my business through MYOB, which is also a double entry system. But, I still have plenty of questions as I get settled in. The first is, I've got an old edition of Quicken Personal plus, which I've read the manual, and a really handy feature I seen was what they call "home inventory". This is used to keep track of items of value that aren't traditional stocks/bonds etc. This is particularly useful for insurance purposes, which I currently have a scrappy spreadsheet for also. Can anyone advise how to set this up, or if I'm missing something, and this function is already set to go?
