Re: [GNC] Confusing and inconsistent headers in transaction entry and report forms

Yep. For summary: If you want to change options, you have to click Options, make your change, then click Apply or OK. (Apply leaves the Options window open for further fiddling, OK will close it.) If you want to keep your options set as-is, but you edit a transaction and want to see the

Indeed, If the plot dimensions of the chart are set to their minimums (100 x 100 px or 10 x 10 %) then the chart disappears. (not sure why that works, but so be it) Pity though, you have to run two separate charts in a Multi-Column to get both Assets & Liabilities on the same screen. I see a

Re: [GNC] Confusing and inconsistent headers in transaction entry and report forms

Hi, Adrian, My first image shows a single transaction (the "wepay to checking" transaction). But I separately pasted in the Checking balance from the previous transaction, which is not fully shown. I wanted the reader to see that indeed the transaction I did show raised the Checking balance. And

Re: [GNC] Confusing and inconsistent headers in transaction entry and report forms

I just upgraded to 4.11 (but I'm still on BigSur, though that should not matter) and ran a transaction report on one of my asset accounts and it works as expected. I'll note that your the screenshot of your Transaction report looks like you have *two* transactions with the same date, not both

Re: [GNC] Confusing and inconsistent headers in transaction entry and report forms

Peter,Yes it is working correctly in Gnucash 4.11 on Linux Mint 20.3 and has always worked that way in the past. The coding for the transaction reports is in Scheme and separate from the main GnuCash code so I would not expect a change in the preferences for the register display to affect the

Re: [GNC] Confusing and inconsistent headers in transaction entry and report forms

That preference is merely for presentation. Yes, the manual describes how the options work. It has nothing to do with debit vs. credit but rather the account balance shown as positive or negative. Whether an account has a debit or credit balance is not changed by the preference. Regards,

Re: [GNC] Confusing and inconsistent headers in transaction entry and report forms

Hi, David, I did try using both Increase/Decrease and Debit/Credit labeling in the register, but the transaction report is unchanged. I also saw an option in Preferences for Reversing either Credit Accounts, or Income & Expense Accounts, or None. I really have no idea what that is about, but GC

Re: [GNC] Confusing and inconsistent headers in transaction entry and report forms

What you are looking for (other than the Accounts Tab) is perhaps a Report. Play around with various reports to see what suits you best. Specifically for the particular accounts you mentioned, experiment with the reports in the Assets & Liabilities menu. The Balance Sheet, Asset Chart/PieChart

Under "Edit/Preferences/Accounts/Labels" if you check the box you will get standard accounting labels with Debits and Credits. This may be less confusing to you than Increase and Decrease. Thank You, Gyle McCollam Gyle McCollam gmccol...@live.com

Hi, I'm using Gnucash 4.11 on MacOS 11.6.8. There are two images attached, labeled Transaction entry and Transaction report. They are two different views of the same transaction, to a non profit that I am doing the books for. The transaction involves a deposit to our checking account from Wepay.
