I have a few errors in my data file, which prevent me from running any
reports. The data has been exported from GnuCash.
The issue is with two types of transactions:
- return of capital
- realized gain/loss
Let's take Return of Capital entry, which comes from GnuCash. I'm using
Trading accounts there, hence they are inserted automatically.
2018/04/09 return of capital
Assets:Investments:Broker:Cash 79.61 AUD
Trading:ASX:IPE 0.0000 IPE @@ 79.61 AUD
Assets:Investments:Broker:Shares:IPE 0.0000 IPE @@ 79.61 AUD
Trading:CURRENCY:AUD -79.61 AUD
The transaction is reported as non-balancing. What exactly is the issue and
how to resolve it?
I see three positive transactions (+) and one negative (-). The two
positive transactions involve the accounts which use IPE commodity and the
quantity is 0, but they use @@, meaning both have deposits of 79.61?
The problem, however, is that I can't put -79.61 in any of those (why?) to
balance them out. "Posting's cost can't be negative".
So, the question would be - how do you do Return of Capital transactions
when Trading Accounts are used?
Are there solutions that could be implemented in the export process
(GnuCash -> ledger)? Are there solutions I could use when recording these
transactions? Any ideas welcome.
