Re: [GNC] Can I export a list of vendors and customers?

2022-11-19 Thread Adrien Monteleone

David,

I might stand corrected.

I haven't tested this for customers/vendors that don't have 
transactions, so give it a go and please report back what you find.


Try one of the following: (both give the same end result)

1. Reports > Business > Payables Aging/Receivables Aging
   then Options > Display to show address & contact info if desired
   use Options > General to play with sort order

2. Business > Customer/Vendor > Customers Overview/Vendors Overview
   then use the Customer/Vendor List button on the toolbar
   (results in same as the Aging Report)

Once you get the data you want onscreen, then you can copy/paste into a 
spreadsheet and save as CSV for importing elsewhere.


Note, I don't know of any method that shows *all* info about a 
Customer/Vendor save for reading the XML uncompressed, or using a db 
backend and running a query or examining the tables directly.


Also, I've only just tried this on 4.12. If it exists in older versions, 
I do not know.


Regards,
Adrien

Chris,

There is only a Customer Summary (no Vendor Summary) and at best, that 
can get you a list if you also select in Options > Display > Show 
Inactive. But I'm not sure it will include Customers with no invoice or 
payment history at all. (all of mine have history)


You might be thinking of Business > Customer/Vendor > Customers/Vendors 
Overview.


But unfortunately it is impossible to select any of the text on those 
tabs for copy/paste.


Regards,
Adrien

Hi David,

I’m not at my PC now but you can run the (from memory) Customer Summary or 
Vendor Summary reports, then (like all GnuCash reports), use control-A to 
select all the data, then paste into a spreadsheet.

You could save once only in a suitable database format to get the data,
then immediately save in compressed xml again if you don't want to use
the database again.

If you store your transactions in a database instead of the standard 
flat file, it's actually quite straightforward, especially with a 
web-based database manager. Trying to work from the command line may be 
a little more complicated.

Is it possible to export the customers as a .csv file in a database, and
also I'd like to export the vendors. There are no transactions with these
