I had the same problem yesterday. I worked around it by downloading a CSV of
the transactions from the account and importing that instead.
It's possible that it's just a glitch that will get corrected in a few days. If
not we'll need someone with Quicken and Wireshark to snarf the new secret
handshake.

Hello sirs I am using GNUcash, i have encountered two problems 1. Posting of share purchase through stock assist not working. After I enter all details, i get no errors. Then i press apply, and when i check back the stock ledger or Bank account, no transaction is posted. I have to post the share purchase ttadrional ways with split account 2. Stock prices are not updating regularly. It updates randomly. Some times only few stock updates,some time nothing happens. I am from India and i have configured PROPERLY the online quote. Are these bugs? Or am I missing something?

I would like to produce reports that show: money spent on meals, hotels, ... money spend on various trips In Quicken, the transactions were coded as: Expense:meals/home Expense:meals/20210112 Expense:hotel/20210112 Expense:meals/20210215 Expense:hotel/20210215 using both Categories (what) and Classes (which trip, if any). I understand the Classes are not currently supported in gnucash. In gnucash, I can see two ways to do the setup: Expense:meals:home Expense:meals:20210112 Expense:hotel:20210112 Expense:meals:20210215 Expense:hotel:20210215 Or Expense:home:meals Expense:20210112:meals Expense:20210112:hotel Expense:20210215:meals Expense:20210215:hotel But, there might be a better way.

Your problem is not how to back up all of your gnucash data but ALL of your user data. You need a comprehensive plan. As for where your user data is, going to be somewhere in your user directory. If you make a backup of that, you have made a backup of all your user data. Your real decisions should be things like "how often do I make backups" and how long each type kept. Thus I keep "year end" backups forever, the monthly backups for more than a year. If you are also making more frequent backups think in terms of when they would be have been duplicated by one of the longer term backups. Give serious consideration to making copies of the longer term backups that can live off site (at least in another building). In 2006 I had a house fire. Everything i the room that burned was of course toast, but devices and medium in other parts of the house were damaged by smoke and water. Only about half back-up data could be recovered (and my insurance DID have coverage to pay a data recovery lab to try). :Learned my lesson. Now a second copy (another external drive) "lives" in a fire box inside a dead fridge in the barn-garage.

Mario, The locations are neither secret or undisclosed https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations although they may not have been documented when you last used GnuCash. User preference settings however are stored in a different manner on the various OSs that GNucash runs on. https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/basics-migrate-settings.html#:~:text=GnuCash%20preferences%20are%20stored%20in,machine%20to%20migrate%20your%20preferences.&text=On%20Unix%20and%20macOS%20%2C%20these,display%20in%20the%20file%20manager . The location of the data file is a matter of your own choice. Would suggest a directory/folder for each separate data file/set of books you operate keeping the backups and log files in the same directory. I have a directory which is the parent of the separate directories for each set of books which simplifies backups to NAS and cloud and synchronizing desktop and laptop without having to specify the individual sub directories. A full backup would also need to backup the above locations as well as the data file. Easily done with bash scripts run by cron jobs in Linux. > > Recently, I have decided to try again to use gnucash, but I would like very > much to ensure ALL my data is backed up.

GnuCash remembers the last location of the last data file opened. This is intentional behaviour primarily for the convenience of the majority of users. It is stored as a path to the last file opened and no financial data is stored anywhere else but in the data file. You can always use the menu File->Open dialogue to override and change between different sets of books if you deal with multiple financial entities. If you backup the datafile and its local backups and log files, you can restore to any point in the date range covered. I also backup to an onsite NAS and off site cloud storage periodically as well as synchronizing between several computers. This is fairly easy to setup either with utilities like Unison or with cron jobs running Bash scripts in Linux and likely with similar utilities on Windows and MacOSX. > Doing some sleuthing using strace, I was able to find the previous database > location delivered through some socket connection, and that really scares > me, since it is now possible critical data is stored via some other Linux > service and I will have no way to trace out where this may be to avoid > future nasty surprises. > I have not seen any documentation about backup strategies other than the > aromatic saving of previous data files, yet I do see that there was data > being stored at least in ~/.local, so I'm hoping someone on this list may > be able to point me to some more thorough discussion of ALL the places user > data from gnucash may be stored.

Re: [GNC] (no subject)
Mario, The GnuCash developers are not keeping any secrets about where your data is stored. If you read your help manual and refer to the very detailed FAQ on the website you will find out that GnuCash stores some "user" type information in a location separate from your data. Your custom report settings and other settings that could apply to multiple data sets if you have any and seldom change after you set them up are included. It is not a secret location known only to Linus Pauling and a few of his friends. Over the years the details have evolved and they vary depending on the operating system environment and GnuCash release schedule. There are instructions on what is stored, where it is stored and how to back it up. There are also instructions for migrating the settings from one OS to another should you ever need them. I don't think they suggest a specific backup schedule, but if you rarely change your saved report settings, then once a month would probably work fine. For me, twice a year and after I change my datakeeping habits is fine. On Tue, Feb 22, 2022, 12:32 PM Steve Butler wrote: > Please plan a compressive backup strategy for your entire system.

Mario, under Linux Gnucash stores its settings using dconf. You can view them with the dconf-editor). Inside dconf you will find your gnucash settings, including the file history, under org/gnucash/GnuCash (Older versions of GNC used org.gnucash). In the filesystem it's in ~/.config/dconf/user, so this is the file you are looking for.

Please plan a compressive backup strategy for your entire system. Include email, Libre Office documents, other misc files and not just GnuCash. That way it won't matter where files are "hidden" as you will have a complete backup strategy that isn't specific to any particular application.

Doing some sleuthing using strace, I was able to find the previous database location delivered through some socket connection, and that really scares me, since it is now possible critical data is stored via some other Linux service and I will have no way to trace out where this may be to avoid future nasty surprises. I have not seen any documentation about backup strategies other than the aromatic saving of previous data files, yet I do see that there was data being stored at least in ~/.local, so I'm hoping someone on this list may be able to point me to some more thorough discussion of ALL the places user data from gnucash may be stored.

Re: [GNC] (no subject)
Jesse, It would appear that you are trying to setup the accounts to reflect the entry for part 3D of the Statement of Business Activities in the tax form. This is not the right way to go about setting up a process for obtaining the desired information. The opening and closing Inventory values will be derived from the Assets:Inventory: accounts. The purchase information will Ccome from an Expense account associated to purchases of inventory. The wage costs will come form an Expense account for wages associated with the production of your goods for sale. These accounts should be in their normal positions under the top level accounts Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Income and Expense. Setting up the appropriate account structure for a manufacturing business is a very specialized endeavour which will depend upon the structure and operational aspects of the business and is highly dependent of business taxation rules in your jurisdiction. This is something you will need professional accounting advice to setup appropriately for a manufacturing business preferrably from an accountant specialized in cost management accounting. If you do wish to learn more about it yourself something like Cost Management - Accounting and Control by Hansen and Mowen is an appropriate starting point but it starts from an assumption of a good basic knowledge of general Financial Accounting (usually comes up 2nd - 3rd year in an accounting degree course). Instead of rearranging the accounts,the way to do this is to create a custom report which extracts the required information from the necessary accounts in the CoA.

Re: [GNC] (no subject)
What most people have found - and someone would be sure to say eventually - is that to get reports formulated exactly as you want them, you pretty much need to export them to a spreadsheet or even a word processor table, and manipulate them from there. GnuCash will handle the numbers, and even give you a number of reports, but it won’t give you all the options you need/want regarding formatting. Regarding the inventory in/out if you have inventory as an asset, then running a balance sheet at the start and end of the year will give you the two numbers you want. Not all in one report matching Form T2125, but you need to fill that out by hand in the end anyhow. There’s a certain amount if creative accounting required for inventory anyhow, since you can take raw materials at the price you paid for them and finished goods at the price you expect to sell them for, but goods in process is not so cut and dried. If none of your end of year inventory remains by the time you file a few months later, you will have real values for everything, but in the more likely case, you don’t know how much of that inventory really is worth its original value. I expect GnuCash for things that can really be measured - cash, funds in the bank - and treat inventory as something for spreadsheets. It’s not that you can’t do what you’re setting out to do, it’s that GnuCash isn’t designed to do full inventory management for you, and if that’s what you need, you should find something that is. If it isn’t what you need, it’s a once a year thing to satisfy the CRA, and not worth the detailed tracking that following inventory through every transaction would give you. But that’s a choice. > On Dec 19, 2021, at 1:05 PM, Jesse MacDougall > wrote: > > Thanks for the reply Mike.

Re: [GNC] (no subject)
Roger, The Locations for saved reports changed between V2 and V3 of GnuCash. Details are given in the Wiki page https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#:~:text=The%20default%20locations%20are%3A,gnucash. I think they relate to Windows 8/10 but not sure about Win 7. There are links there to open diagrams which illustrate the changed locations a bit more clearly than the text on that page.

Re: [GNC] (no subject)
So, perhaps you could send a screen shot of your non-working chart of accounts?
Someone might be able to see what the problem is.
For the record, there is/was a *folder* in windows that was called ".gnucash",
and the default extension for a gnucash data file is ".gnucash". The former
included a number of files that controlled the software (such as
saved-reports.x.x, which contains your saved report settings), while the latter
is a simple file ("myaccounts.gnucash", for example) stored in a location of
your choosing. For what it's worth, the location of the settings folder was
changed between 2.6 and 3.0, I believe.

You are correct, saved reports means adjustments to the existing reports.
We did move the .gnucash file from the old computer to the new before
installing the 3.11 and opening the GnuCash data file. The reports didn't
show up. Wonder if the .gnucash file in Windows 10 has a different name,
maybe GnuCash. At any rate, saved reports were not there when we opened the
data file in 3.11

Roger,
Your experience is exceptional,? insofar as I've never heard that
particular problem before. Your description is puzzling to me; how is it
that your top level accounts show correct balances, if the subaccounts are
not there? Something is off there...
Here are some ideas:
I'll assume that you closed gnucash after the Check & Repair and restarted
it. I know sometimes that helps unstick things.
Since you're having trouble with the canonical upgrade process, what
happens if you examine the file without performing the Check & Repair?
I am going to assume that your statement that the saved reports are not
important implies that you haven't actually written Scheme-based custom
reports (because if you'd gone down THAT rabbit hole, those reports would
be important to you), but that you have saved a number of standard reports
with basic customization, such as a subset of accounts on an income report,
or a special date range, etc. If that is the case, you could simply copy
{yourfile}.gnucash from the Windows 7 box to the new machine, and open that
with 3.11. Later, you could try to find your saved-reports.2.x fileand copy
it over to the new machine (in the new folder for version 3 and above).
If none of those fix your problem, perhaps you can send a screen shot of
the Chart of Accounts. Maybe that will shed some light...

Re: [GNC] (no subject)
Gilberto, 1. You would normally make the adjustment between the account for the mutual fund and equity to bring the balance into agreement with a statement. Income and Expense accounts are in accounting terms a temporary equity accounts where temporary denotes pertaining to the current period. You would record the adjustment when you become aware of the need for it, which would limit the likelihood that the amount of any adjustment is likely to be material - i.e. affect whether your accounts represent a true reflection of you financial position. Corrections of a few cents are not likely to be material but a $100 correction is definitely likely to be. If the corrections pertain to only the current financial year, you could use an income or expense account as appropriate for the direction of the correction. If the correction covers differences accumulated over over more than the current financial period, then it would probably be more appropriate to adjust to equity. These would also be typical of the adjustments made after forming a trial balance during the close books procedure in accounting practice and would likely be made after combining Income and Expenses to an Income Summary account (Income - Expenses) during that procedure. Main thing is to annotate the correction describing what it is correcting and what period(s) it pertains to. 2. Really the same sort of considerations as in 1. The usual disclaimer applies. This should not be considered as accounting advice and you should consult an accountant in your jurisdiction for specific advice where required.

Dear all. I am a long time GnuCash user (10+ years) and I use it to track my personal finances. The question I have is more related to accounting principles (I am no accountant) and how specific situations should be recorded to comply with "standards". I know there are no standards for personal finances but what I am looking for is how people treat specific situations and the general consensus (if there is any). Situation 1 Tracking mutual funds (or other investments that rely on prices and quantities) for a long time sometimes cause small diferences in balances (presumably caused by rounding limitations) that I want to correct. To correct those balances I either do a credit or debit transaction to the investment account to adjust the balance. At the other side of the transaction, in this case, should I credit or debit an expense/revenue account or an equity account? Situation 2 Sometimes there are errors in statements I receive (the nature of the specific errors are not relevant to the discussion) and that causes balance differences either in assets or liabilities accounts that I would like to correct recording an adjustment transaction. At the other side of the adjustment transaction should I credit or debit an expense/revenue account or an equity account? I tend to put an equity account at the other side of the adjustment transaction on the above situations because I am correcting an error and not actually generating revenue or expense, however I am uncertain if this teh adequate way of recording adjustment transactions. Thank you all for any comments. ___ 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] (no subject)
Changing the date on the transaction is not sufficient; GnuCash stores the unique FITID to match against the OFX file, so it will detect that there are no new transactions. You would literally need to delete a transaction before the re-import to get the importer to see a new one. -derek On Fri, November 9, 2018 11:17 am, Ed Fields wrote: > Hi Folks, > > In answer to John and David, I don't use the on line banking feature. > I download the qfx file from Discover to my disk, then perform a file | > import operation.

Re: [GNC] (no subject)
Hi Folks, In answer to John and David, I don't use the on line banking feature. I download the qfx file from Discover to my disk, then perform a file | import operation. The downloaded qfx file has several newer transactions than those in my gnuCash credit card account. Just for grins, I re-imported a qfx from several months ago, after first changing a date for one of the gnu account entries to ensure that at least one transaction would be viewed as new. Got the same response, an unpopulated popup window titled 'generic import transaction manager' The only structural difference I can see between the broken Discover qfx files and other working qfx files from other credit card companies is that the discover provides an additional field INTU.USERID in the preamble text *myAccountName* my previous gnuCash version # is not known, I think it was the one before the September update version. Are any readers tracking Discover Card expenses successfully importing activity data into their account? thanks for your patience and your responses ed On Thu, Nov 8, 2018 at 7:06 PM David Reiser wrote: > > > On Nov 8, 2018, at 6:38 PM, John Ralls > wrote: > > > > > > > >> On Nov 9, 2018, at 4:15 AM, Ed Fields wrote: > >> > >> Just installed Build ID: 3.3+ (2018-09-29) on a new Win 10 setup > >> > >> I find I can no longer import discover card activity, but can import > other > >> credit card activity files into their associated credit card accounts. > >> > >> Discover want me to contact Quicken. > >> > >> I would normally search the archives but don't see a way to access them > >> here at gnucash.org > >> > >> Is there an easy fix for this issue? > >> currently I get an unpopulated popup window titled 'generic import > >> transaction manager'. > > > > Are you using online banking?

Are you using online banking? Was this working OK with the previous version of GnuCash (which version)? It’s odd that you’re getting an empty match window, if there aren’t any transactions it’s supposed to put up a message box saying so.

Just installed Build ID: 3.3+ (2018-09-29) on a new Win 10 setup I find I can no longer import discover card activity, but can import other credit card activity files into their associated credit card accounts. Discover want me to contact Quicken. I would normally search the archives but don't see a way to access them here at gnucash.org Is there an easy fix for this issue? currently I get an unpopulated popup window titled 'generic import transaction manager'. thanks ed ___ 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.
