No, No, No. Two different methods/systems. (I see my earlier apology for confusion was foresight) EITHER you transfer the credit from AR to a liability account and pay from it, (really, only if a local CPA says you should) OR, you leave the credit note open till needed. (the sane and easy

So when I did my way, the liabilities account is reduced by the invoice doesn’t;t show the payment. Grr. So you’re suggesting leaving the credit n the AR account, which is held as a liability? But then how to I pay future invoices from it? > On Jun 28, 2019, at 12:32 PM, Adrien Monteleone

[GNC] Register Reconcile Issue

Today I was reconciling an account and noticed a peculiar behavior. Typically I check heavily used credit and bank accounts online a few times a month. At that time I mark transactions cleared "c" which have appeared online. When a statement comes I usually clear any additional transactions

That’s one way to do it. Or, the simpler way is leave the credit note outstanding and use it to offset an invoice when needed. Regards, Adrien > On Jun 28, 2019, at 1:58 PM, Eric Rathhaus (general) > wrote: > > Thanks. > > I followed your instructions but the credit note when printed

Thanks. I followed your instructions but the credit note when printed appears as an invoice to my client with the credit showing as an amount owed. In my accounts it does appear as a “payment” in my AR account. I’m a little confused as to steps 2 and 3 now. If I understand you, I will

If there was a way to choose which of existing search windows or General Ledger or 'with sub-accounts ' views to jump to, that would be a plus when jumping. I guess those windows would need better names, esp. for searches . I would like a shortcut back to the a SLR results window or another if

I currently use the jump feature a lot to navigate from the SLR entry list (a search window) to various account registers to verify context around new entries, and individual account registers are crucial to monitoring current balances in asset and liability accounts. However, if the jump

This is the only reason I ever use the jump button, so I’d be inclined to agree. I don’t think I’ve ever jumped just to see the other account. Of course, I’m sure others have plenty of use cases. Regards, Adrien > On Jun 28, 2019, at 11:29 AM, John Ralls wrote: > > Perhaps that would be a

I would like to throw out a new suggestion to add a permanent menu item to the account register window that would jump to the current transaction in the journal view, where there is no anchor account. This would allow editing without worrying about whether an anchor account split is being

Another way looking at this issue is while reconciling to be sure that all transactions on the bank statement are checked and all transactions in the statement period that have not cleared yet are not checked. Then the reconciliation can be completed. There is no requirement for outstanding

If you mean you have gone through the reconcile process as you normally do, and ticked everything off that appears in the statement from the bank, but you end up with a Difference which is not zero then almost certainly you have made a small mistake. Either in entering the closing balance or one

That’s not correct. In order to complete a reconciliation the date is not relevant to GnuCash. The only thing that matters is that you’ve checked off enough (hopefully correct) transactions that explain the difference between opening and ending balances. The ‘Difference’ amount in the bottom

What account is that? AR will have entries for Customer postings. AP will have entries for Vendor postings. But I don’t know of any account that has them together. Also, AR and AP aren’t usually something you reconcile. Reconciliation is a process to verify that some financial institution’s
