[GNC] Can one add notes / memos / whatever to reconciled transactions?

I have a couple of transactions which are reconciled, but I realise they are missing some useful information. 1) One is shown in the bank account as costing £100, but it was actually paid in USD. If one jumps to the invoice, this is shown as a USD payment, but it would be nice if a note was added

Sadly, no.. those help docs are pretty basic - I have looked at most of what can be found in the various docs and generally searching. I'll probably need to go to the code repository and look for comments or something along those lines. Still would be good to at least confirm that our actions o

I'll add my voice to the others -- if you want to see the full name, I think there is an option for that. I played with the Profit and Loss statement, and was able to get the columns to sub-total with an option. In the expense report I use, there is an option "Use Full Account name". On Fri, Fe

Re: [GNC] Adding new accounts

Based upon your answers, here is what I would suggest: 1. When you go to add a new account - give it a nice bright unique color. Now when the new account comes up - it will be easily distinguishable. If you still don't see the new account - do item 2. 2. Download the latest version of t

One way is to schedule a transaction to be created before you import the bank record. Then match the imported bank record to the scheduled transaction. The amounts on payrolls are often pretty consistent from one payroll run to the next, so it might match automatically, or you might have to sel

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why you are bothering to do an import if there are only two transactions once every three months. Wouldn't it be easier to just enter them by hand the way you want On Feb 4, 2023, at 09:23, Simon Roberts wrote: Hi all, I use a third party or
