Re: [GNC] Order listing in account by "Transfer"? Select and modify multiple?
Sure, you can run a report and open registers from the hyperlinks, but that isn’t strictly necessary. You can just open the register directly. You may not even need to do so if you do a Find operation first. The results from the Find are given in a separate tab in the form of a register containing all of the found transactions. The basic field searches are pretty good, but you can also use regex for advanced pattern matching. When I’m moving transactions I use this method to get my target list for moving and then start plowing through. There are two options: 1. Move an entire account via deletion and re-assignment 2. Move one transaction at a time There is no way to move a subset of transactions in an account in bulk.

Re: [GNC] CVS Import of Security Transaction
Matthew The CSV importer is described reasonably fully in Ch6 of the help manual https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-import.html. The mulitiline format used to export GnuCash data is described in the following section on exporting https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-export.html#trans-export-summary. Some fields in the export data can be left blank on import. Typically the TransactionID, Num, Notes, Void Reason, Action, Memo, Full Account Name, Reconcile, Reconcile Date and Account with Sym are fields not normally present in import data except in data which has been exported from GnuCash in the GnuCash Export Format. If the import data is multiline-multisplit as per the export data the account being imported is specified in the first line. Your example would be: Date Account Commodity/Currency Amount Num Price 01/01/2020,XYZ, XYZ, 5, 7.00 ,BANK, ,35.00, 1.00 The spaces are only there to align with the headers so it will look like: 01/01/2020,XYZ,XYZ,5,7.00 ,BANK,,35.00,1.00 in the actual file. You could specify the commodity/currency for the bank in the second line if you are using a foreign currency account for the transaction. Otherwise AFAIK it defaults to the currency of the parent of the stock account. When you do the import, the first step maps names in the account field onto accounts as setup in the in the CoA. If using the simple single line format you can either specify the account (Account header) and the transfer account (Full Category Path header) or leave the Account field out and specify it in the importer setup. Save your import settings with a name and you can just select them next time. Make sure the date format in the importer dialog matches the date format in your file.

Re: [GNC] Scheduled transactions
This might be the bug I reported (though now fixed, not sure of in which release) of being unable to edit SX with a split assigned to a now deleted account. It seems the editor is not seeing the account at all. (was it deleted?) Try re-assigning the offending split to a different account. (I also could not do this) Try tabbing through the split and deleting memo, account and amount/formula. Even if you need that split, see if you can remove it. Then edit the SX again if needed to add it back.

Re: [GNC] Record Loan Interest
Most loans (certainly mortgages) aren't allowed to grow like this, so the manual doesn't cover it. When your interest accrues, it will look like this: Credit cards, lines of credit, etc. do This is less a gnucash question than a fundamentals question, and once I show you what you might want in the CoA for this type of loan, how you enter transactions should become obvious. The point is that here you may want to track principle and interest separately. Thus : Line of Credit (under liabilities) Principle (child of Line of Credit) Interest (child of Line of Credit) You are confusing the difference between cash basis accounting and accrual basis accounting by thinking that physical cash has anything to do with it << you are thinking about "cash flow" >> Thus if you bought a car (asset) by borrowing the money, you debit car and credit loan NOW (even though no physical cash changed hands). In your case, you should debit "interest expense" and credit the loan when they charge you the interest. You had an expense that you paid for by assuming liability as of that date. I point this out because often "line of credits" come with what look like checks. You might acquire an asset or pay an expense with one of those instead of a check against bank account. You record a transaction like that when it happens, not at some time in the future when you might make a payment against that liability (THAT is a different sort of transaction, essentially a "transfer"). Accrual basis accounting is something quite different. I don't think you should worry about what it actually is at the moment.

Re: [GNC] CVS Import of Security Transaction
Dear Geert, Thank you very much for your quick reply. I can manipulate the data I have (e.g., via python) to get it into a csv format that works. Do you know what the lines of a csv file would look like for the following multi-split transaction? Account 1. Date "01/01/2020", stock account "XYZ", shares purchased "5", share price "7.00" Account 2. Date "01/01/2020", bank account "BANK", dollars withdrawn 35.00 Sorry I do not know something so basic, but I haven't seen these types of files/formats before. When I go to import such a CSV file, would I import it for the stock account, or maybe it doesn't matter? Thank you very much for your time and help.

It depends a bit on the format of your import data. If the import data is multi-split (that is it contains the debit and credit side of a single transaction in separate lines) and it contains a transaction currency, the importer knows how to handle it.

Sorry, another loan query. Going in circles and thoroughly confused by https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/loans_mortgage1.html which seems to cut out before the interest is paid and flip to making a loan. I have a loan account (say $1000 Liabilities:Loan) and the interest is calculated and added to the loan annually (say 30 June 19 $10 interest is added to Liabilities:Loan). On 29 June I pay $9 from Assets:Saving and let the rest increase the loan.
