Re: Is there a GC function to separate a multi-split transaction into sepa rate, 2-split transactions?

[Colin Law]

I am not sure exactly what you mean. Can you explain a bit more about
the situation you are in, and how you got to that position?

It looks more to me like there's a problem with the guile-2.0 installation, 
considering that it tried to compile its own scm files. Have you raised the 
issue on any of the Debian support channels?

Re: Importing bookings with accounts fully assigned

[Cornelis Bockemühl]

Good evening, ;-)

That sounds indeed like exactly the thing that I would need!

However, I already tried a bit with the QIF format, reading the manual,
then trying to manually fabricate some QIF file exactly with that
intention - with no success so far.

So if you have any knowledge of that format: Would you be able to just
fabricate a little example file with one booking record in the way that
you describe?

I would be more than happy if you could do this!

I think with this I would be more or less "done": First generate that
table that I described, then write some (probably easy) conversion from
the table to QIF - and import!

With thanks and regards,

Cornelis

Re: Not able to make entries in Gnucash

[Greg Feneis]

Pls note: GnuCash has been through a few revisions since two years ago.
You may want to upgrade now.  This may fix the issue and + you'll be
starting back using the latest.





Kind regards,

Greg Feneis

Re: Is there a GC function to separate a multi-split transaction into sepa rate, 2-split transactions?

[David Carlson]

Paul,

I would not recommend doing that, as it would fill your bank account
register with many entries that would be a nightmare to reconcile against
your bank statement, but one brute force way to do it would be to duplicate
the transaction as many times as necessary, then edit each one to delete
every line except one, and change the bank account amount to match.

That would be easiest to do in transaction journal view with 2 line mode
selected.

Is there a GC function to separate a multi-split transaction into sepa rate, 2-split transactions?

[Paul W.]

I have multiple bank deposit items showing in a single, multi-split 
transaction.   
Is there a GC function to separate the multi-split transaction into separate, 
2-split transactions?
If not, I would appreciate guidance on how to manually separate the splits, 
other than re-entering each deposit item as a separate transaction.

Hi Kenneth.

How does the software inform you that your books are read only?  Does it pop 
up a message at any particular point when you are using it - eg file open or 
trying to enter a transaction?

What about if you start a new file off?

Really, we need more info to offer meaningful help.  The version of GC that 
you have & the OS you are running would also be useful to know.

Maf.

PS. There are more than just gentlemen on the list... unless you don't want 
everyone to consider offering help if they have an insight ;-)

Not able to make entries in Gnucash

[Kenneth Theis]

Gentlemen, I installed GnuCash software two years ago and used it a short 
time. Then I discontinued its use for a long period. Now I want to start again 
using the software. However, I find that it is designated at "read only,” 
whatever that means. I have tried to make entries in the software without 
success. 

I have tried everything I know to resume using the software, but have failed. I 
will appreciate suggestions as to how I can proceed with its use. 

Thanks for your help.

Importing bookings with accounts fully assigned

[Cornelis Bockemühl]

Good morning,

Does anybody know a way or a specific data format that allows to import
bookings into Gnucash that have already their "counter booking"
(probably not the correct bookkeeper's language...)?

Example: I have a list of bookings somehow like the following:

Date  Amount  Text   Account from  
Account to

11-08-2017 25.70  Birthday gift  Giro  
Gifts
24-08-2017   2000.00  Salary for August  Salary
Bankaccount

etc. etc.

Of course the accounts "Giro", "Gifts", "Salary" and "Bankaccount"
should exist in Gnucash already.

So far I always prepare several lists, two for each of the main bank
accounts, then I import them as CSV and then I have to more or less
assign the "counter booking" for each single like manually because even
after a couple of years the automatic assignment does not really do a
really useful job.

Any idea or proposal?

Thanks and regards, Cornelis
