Hi Adrien,
In my version of GnuCash I am not able to select an expense account at an
item level when creating the credit note. Only Income, asset or liability
accounts. It's the 5th column entitled "income" where I select the account.
Please check and tell me if I have misunderstood.
Best
David Long

Subject: [GNC] Credit note posting to an expense account
Message-ID: <004101d888af$2727be40$75773ac0$@gmail.com>

I wish to create a credit note in A/R and post it to an expense account.
The only options I see are to post to an income, liability, or asset
account, and I can well understand why, as in most business processes a
credit note represents a negative income. The only work around I can find
is to post to an intermediary account, for example a suspense account in
liabilities, and then post out of that account in a second transaction to
the expense account. Is there any other way?
For background, it's for a member's club where all members are invoiced for
membership and services in A/R, and sometimes members incur expenses on
behalf of the club, which I wish to credit to their account and debit to the
appropriate expense account. A credit note provides a nice document to
provide them with.
Thanks
David Long

The credit note should be posted to A/R, but the line item(s) in the note
can be posted to expense accounts.
Except for the reverse posting (credit vs. debit) they are the same as
invoices & bills.
Regards,
Adrien

As I looked at my publicly traded portfolio today on Morningstar, they told
me they are dropping the free basic services.? It's a sad trend after so
many years.
I am worried we might lose some of our gnuCash free quote servers.? Of
course, gnuCash perl quotes itself can only be modified by generous parties
to chase new sources that may remain viable.
