Re: [GNC] Accounting Equation Mismatch for Foreign Currency/Security

2022-08-26 Thread David Carlson
When you change the exchange rate for a commodity that is not the base currency you are creating an unrealized gain or loss. GnuCash is not configured to handle these unrealized gains or losses without manual assistance. How you accomplish that depends on your reporting needs. On Thu, Aug 25, 20

According to https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu, “GnuCash 4.8 is included in Ubuntu 22.04, released April 2022 https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/gnucash”. I was running GC 2.6.19 under Ubuntu Studio 18.04 and I have read on this mailing list that I will need to migrate to GC v 3.x before I can

If you were dealing with a machine that's left running all the time, the obvious move would be to adjust the cron job so it runs in the wee hours of the morning and has lots of time to finish before anyone logs in, but it sounds like that's not the case here. The *simple* way would be to do away w

[GNC] Fixing incorrect Vendor for invoices

2022-08-26 Thread Eric Hammond
Somehow, I picked the wrong vendor when entering many bills in GnuCash, and posted them. I find that Vendor entry in the bill is not changeable, even after un-posting them. Is there a way, other than deleting and re-entering them, to correct this? Thanks Eric

Interesting question. Perhaps try a 3.x flatpak? Otherwise, if you haven't yet jumped from 18.04 to 22.04 maybe an interim stop at 20.04 will get you GnuCash 3.x. (Can you even go directly from 18.04 to 22.04? I didn't think it would even give you the option) Be sure to review the Wiki abo
