I am starting to enter into GnuCash the transactions starting late February this year. That’s going to be a slow painful process. However, I have had a few transactions today, which I would like to enter too. Does the order the transactions are entered matter, as long as the dates are correct?
In the case of bills, but not invoices, I have never kept any number associated with them - only with invoices. So it would mean that the number on bills are pretty much random, as I would be entering transactions in December before some of those of March. I could simply start bills in December with the lowest number being 1000, and bills from late February starting with number 1. (There would be less than 1000 transactions, so they would not overlap.) But since I have never associated a number with them, a number being out of order doesn’t matter to me. Will exported CVS files be in date order, or the order the transactions were entered? Will the transactions in GnuCash windows be shown in date order, or the order the transactions are entered? (I am on my mobile phone now, so can not actually test this, but people might know of things that I am overlooking. I could make a backup of the file, add in a spurious entry to get the bank balance right, then check that the would reconcile, but obviously I can’t reconcile today until all historical transactions are entered.
