OK, this is my first post to this forum. I have been using Gnucash for 6 or 7 months now since I took on a voluntary role as treasurer to a community orchestra. Spent a fair bit of time under the hood tweaking invoice formats to suit my taste and got it going very well. Thank you all. Anyway I wanted to share something that might be useful which is only obliquely covered in the documentation or forums that i could see. I needed a document with space for two authorising signatures and maybe a recipients signature and discovered that the Gnucash Cheque (Check) writing feature could be customised to suit. I don't know if you can see the image I have tried to insert. Anyway I was further pleased to see that the check print feature is available in any account. I have cloned my original document into several variants. Credit Note Authorisation, Petty Cash Voucher, Remittance Advice, Invoice Discount Authorisation etc. I have included splits detail where appropriate. There is good documentation describing how the check printing works. A simple text file dropped into the user library (I'm running on a MacBook) or equivalent location depending on your operating system. There follows a sample of one of my text "check format" files. Paste this into a text editor, save it as "something.chk" and drop it into the "checks" folder in the user library (or equivalent per os). Put a logo graphic in there as well with the same name as referenced in "something.chk" file where PICTURE is defined. You may want to generate your own Guid number (I got an app for my phone to generate them) certainly if you run different variants. The title appears in the print dialog. Any fields you don't want can be suppressed by giving them coordinants that are off the edge of the page. I would be interested to know if anyone finds this useful and can get it to work from my garbled description. Cheers, Simon.
