Hi Richard,
I suspect this is a known issue introduced in 5.13. To confirm you may
revert to 5.12 or update to a more recent version.
Regards,
Sherlock

Subject: Help - Re: Gnucash Crash when Paying invoices
Hi again,
My bookkeeping is light, so I waited for a bit and updated my OpenSuse
Tumbleweed today. then went to gnucash and have the same problem where
trying to pay invoices results in a crash. According to today?s update
I am on 5.13-3.4.
What can I do to move through this problem? Do you already have a
solution?
Please, II do need help as I have years of bookkeeping in Gnucash.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi,
The CAID_GNU_25-26.gnucash file I am using was created on another of
my computers that has a different username. Can this be the cause of
the build-id traoubles seen in the crash report? If so, how to I fix
the problem.
Thanks for consideration on this.

I have also tried:
1. To return to an earlier save point to then begin with not
duplicating the bill. I was able to get this to work once but in
the multiple attempts to pay other vendor bills, I have failed.
I do not know if I did something different for the one time that
payment worked.
2. To manually put the payment into Acc Payable and then right
click on it to choose Assign Payment. Again crash

I should point at that:
1. In Preferences -> Accounts under Default Currency, I have
toggled Choose and Chosen Canadian
2. I did not have a problem paying a a posted invoice with a
previously entered Vendor
3. I entered a new Vendor and the currency is Canadian
4. I then duplicated an invoice from a similar vendor to save time
setting the invoice... but changed the vendor name when doing
so. 5. I alter amounts and back dated when I posted
6. Then I could not pay the invoice due to crashing.

Crash when paying posted invoices:
I fell behind in bookkeeping and started catching up today. I
cannot pay posted invoices. When I click to have the payment
accepted Gnucash crashes. I have tried through vendors to process
a payment, from the posted invoice, and from the pop-up that
opens to process a payment when I start up gnucash. I updated the
computer today to see if an update would help (zypper dup), but
have the same problem.
I am working in OpenSuse Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma (see
attached) operating in Btrfs and file storage in ext4. The
Gnucash version is 5.13 (see attached). Although, the Gnucash
version was updated when the computer updated. The last time I
can be certain Gnucash worked was July 2025 (I fell far behind
with bookkeeping). I have also attached the crash report.
When I have to scrub, I bring forward the ~/.local/share/gnucash
directory with its contents when I need to do a reinstall (which
is not the issue here).
Please, help.
Thanks
Richard

IMHO, an acceptable email might be a "New version of XYZ released. See ABC site for
details." should be acceptable as a broadcast caveated that it is part of GNUCASH,
uses first-person by-products of gnucash, or refers to a product that facilitates a niche
issue related to gnucash.
I definitely would not want this board - named as gnucash-users - should be a
used for anything other than gnucash discussion.

Tough call.
Wm & Patrick both have valid points for sure.
I too am generally fine with announcements, but ongoing discussion could be a
problem.
If only open source projects are allowed, I could see that as reasonable, with
the caveat that topics or discussion outside of how this 3rd party project is
used *with GnuCash* are out of scope.
They shouldn't leach or hi-jack this list as a substitute for independent
support and should themselves urge users to partake of their own offered
channels.
I'm also fine if you bar all such topics/announcements, at least from the
creators.
If regular users alert someone in a relevant reply to a particular resource,
that's a different matter. (such as in reply to a feature request, someone
posts a link to one of these projects that already fits the bill. Any
discussion thereof is in a limited context and should not
metastasize.)
Regards,
Adrien

I have had another request for publication of information regarding
other software which could be used in conjunction with Gnucash.
So far this is on hold.
Following the previous use of this list to advertise other software I
am considering a total ban so there would be no leniency according to
licence eg GPL passes and proprietary is not allowed.
Please feel free to comment.

I will make no assumptions, not enough information to give you an
answer. And of course this is really an accounting question. You also
need to tell us if books cash basis or accrual basis (business features).
WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL TRANSACTION? The original credit was to the credit
card, but the debit was to account X?? NOW when you are reimbursed the
debit will be to the credit card (if they did it that way) or to cash
(if they did it that way) and the credit will be to account X. NOT
INCOME. Reimbursement of an expense is not income.
This is for cash basis.
