[GNC] Assets with two different currencies and buy/sale in different currencies?

2024-08-26 Thread Boniforti Flavio
Hi all. I'm starting to set up my accounts on GnuCash and I'm actually stuck understanding how (or even if) I should add the following. I do own a music studio with a collection of vintage instruments. As the whole gear is worth quite some k, I thought I'd add it as an asset. So first questions her

First of all, hats off to you for your passion! Vintage instruments are definitely valuable assets and should be captured as assets You can keep two accounts or one asset account, it depends on what currency you want to track the same. When selling one of the instruments say bought in USD but s

Hi Murugan. Thanks for your compliments :-) I've indeed a passion for vintage synthesizers (but I also use/play them). Thanks as well for the explanation on how to register such a transaction - I tried and it works flawlessly. Now another (maybe the last?!) question about this topic: am I right as

Let's separate your questions. First deal with the basics and then the currency issue. Yes, as assets. If you buy and sell regularly (business) create a parent "Inventory" under assets. If you are a collector and only sometimes acquire or sell, you might call that "music collection" etc. In ei

[GNC] Rounding issues with Stock

First, let me tell you I am a recent user of GNUCash, and by no means I am a bookkeeper or know a lot about accounting. I am using the tool to keep control of some stock I own. Here is my issue. I have a DRIP on the stock. My broker says the reinvested price of each share was $26.4884, and they bo

GnuCash only maintains the number of shares and the total value. The per-share price is /always/ computed. When you are entering a transaction, GnuCash allows you to enter any two values and it will compute the third -- however it still only stores # shares and total value. IANAA, but IMHO you s

2024-08-26 Thread John Ralls
The issue here is rounding. GnuCash enforces a minimum fraction on all commodities. For most currencies that fraction is 1/100; a few, e.g. Japanese Yen, it’s 1/1. Most mutual funds have a minimum fraction of 1/1000, most stocks have fractions of 1/—though DRIP accounts will pretend to have frac
