Adrien, Your advice of posting the member's expenses to a liability account (Dr expenses and Cr Liability account) and then posting out of that liability account via a credit note in the A/R system (Dr Liability account and Cr members receivable account) is exactly what I am doing and of course it works, but it means double the amount of transactions than if I could simply Dr the relevant expense account when creating the credit note. Unfortunately, the option of selecting an expense account at an item level when creating the credit note is not available, and I cannot think of a good reason why not, so shall ask for this enhancement. I think must be somewhere users can make such a request, so shall figure out how to do that. David

Only Income, asset or liability accounts. It's the 5th column entitled "income" where I select the account. Please check and tell me if I have misunderstood.

The only options I see are to post to an income, liability, or asset account, and I can well understand why, as in most business processes a credit note represents a negative income. The only work around I can find is to post to an intermediary account, for example a suspense account in liabilities, and then post out of that account in a second transaction to the expense account. Is there any other way? For background, it's for a member's club where all members are invoiced for membership and services in A/R, and sometimes members incur expenses on behalf of the club, which I wish to credit to their account and debit to the appropriate expense account. A credit note provides a nice document to provide them with.

Except for the reverse posting (credit vs. debit) they are the same as invoices & bills.

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 As I looked at my publicly traded portfolio today on Morningstar, they told me they are dropping the free basic services.? It's a sad trend after so many years. I am worried we might lose some of our gnuCash free quote servers.? Of course, gnuCash perl quotes itself can only be modified by generous parties to chase new sources that may remain viable. ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

I'm not sure what I was thinking. Create a Liability account for this purpose. The member is spending on the Club's behalf and thus the Club 'owes' the member. I have one called 'Reimbursable Expenditures' Make a transaction to record the expense: Dr. Expense Cr. Reimbursable Expenditures Raise a credit note to reduce the Liability and reduce AR. (what the member owes) That should result in: Dr. Reimbursable Expenditures Cr. AR A 'customer' report should then reflect the net owed by the member. (or by the club if the expense was in excess of dues) Regards, Adrien On 6/26/22 11:17 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Hi Adrien, > In my version of GnuCash I am not able to select an expense account at > an item level when creating the credit note.

I try to close GnuCash properly, though there have been times when I may not have. Also, I have had some Windows updates while GnuCash was left open. I will look for the update and advise if the error continues.
