Morning, Rod.

From the dark days before computers my general medical practice kept books 
marked “Petty Cash” and “Cheques Received”, which were “emptied” periodically 
into our bank account. Petty Cash could be spent on small sundry items such as 
milk and coffee for staff, stationery supplies etc, and was generally left with 
a small (positive) balance - the Cheques Received box would be completely 
cleared periodically by a bank deposit.

This method was readily transferred to a computer system when these came along.

As Rotary Club treasurer with a forthcoming fund-raiser needing a cash float I 
can simply hold back on Petty Cash deposits in the weeks before it, or withdraw 
cash from the current (checking) account.

Because of the closure of our local bank branch (albeit with electronic 
facilities for paying in notes and cheques) I tend not to make the twenty-mile 
round trip every time we have coins to deposit.

Regards,

Michael

Perhaps, before importing, add a "Groceries" sub account to your expenses
account. Then, instead of importing the entire checking account from your
bank, just import a month's worth of records or so. In the matcher step,
assign transfer accounts accordingly. Then import the remaining records for
that checking account from your bank.  This lets you teach GnuCash how to
assign, at first, then on the second import, GnuCash does most of the work
on the majority of the records.

Re: [GNC] Newbie Q: match Description to Transfer

Welcome to GnuCash and to the GnuCash-User Maillist.

GnuCash is set by default to "remember" the transfer account assignment and
to attempt to make the same assignment to similar looking transactions in
future imports.  It uses a process called Bayesian Matching, which is not
perfect, but it usually makes pretty good guesses after a training process.

When you import transactions there is a step where you assign a "transfer"
account to each transaction or, after the first time, you approve GnuCash's
guess or override it with your correct information.  If you do not make
corrections in that step, GnuCash cannot "learn" the correct assignments,
and it may even make more "misteaks" later.

Rod,

I have an asset account called 'Petty Cash'. Most of the time it has a zero
balance but when I need to fuel my diesel pickup truck (which I drive
to/from client sites) I'll withdraw cash from the checking account and enter
it in the books as a transfer from checking (credit, withdrawal) into petty
cash (debit, addition).

When I fill the tanks I'll enter that transaction as a credit (withdrawal)
from petty cash and a debit (addition) to the vehicle fuel account.

If I were using petty cash to make change what I'd probably do is add all
the cash received and add that to the remaining petty cash in the Income
'fund raising event' account. Then when I deposit the cash in the checking
account I do the reverse account transfer from one asset account to another
asset account.

I also do account transfers between the business checking and business
savings accounts when I move funds from one to the other. Transfer accounts
are your friend for moving amounts between accounts in the same parent
account type.

Rich

Just starting out to use GnuCash. Imports fine from my bank to my Checking
account.
Now I have to make sense of it all! 

In the Checking ledger, there are many different creditors. For example,
"Kroger" in the Description field. How can I label all "Kroger" entries with
"Expenses:Groceries" in the Transfer column? If I can make this happen, I
can do all my repetitive transactions and catch up on 8 months of data
faster.

Well "petty cash" is traditionally something slightly different <<

Question: Do you not NOW have a "cash" account? Sometimes called 
"undeposited cash". For example, I do not drive to town every time a 
check arrives for the organization. They might accumulate even for a 
week or two till I get to the bank << it's about a 50 mile round trip >> 
If you do have an undeposited cash account you could use that; after 
all, you are unlikely to be depositing the day of the event.


But "cash box" or "change box" perfectly OK.

Re: [GNC] Font size in journals ver 3.5 build 3.5+ (2019-03-30)

Fair enough. Operating system: Windows 10. Installed from a downloaded file 
from the GnuCash website, an upgrade from I think 2.18, something like that. 

 

I read the instructions at the GTK3 page. I’m not smart enough to understand 
what it is asking me to do. Requires some technical knowledge to get to 
settings that I’m not familiar with, i.e. how to access settings.ini or the  
GNC_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0.css file:

What operating system are you using? How did you install GnuCash?

 

I looked in the FAQ 

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#GnuCash_Localization_.28L10n.29_and_Font_Issues

 

which suggested I look on the GTK3 page:

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3

 

but as you can see, depending on your system you may need to look in yet 
another place.

 

Let us know more about your system and whether you can find what you need on 
the wiki. (This looks like a weak point in the FAQ, so please help us 
volunteers update it.)

Create an account Assets:Current Assets:Cash Box and transfer whatever 
amount you want into it. Book all of the receipts into that account (you 
can batch them up if you don't feel the need to track them individually). 
At the end of the event the Cash Box account and the cash on hand should be 
the same. Your deposit back into the bank account is a simple transfer 
transaction just like the starting withdrawal.

Re: [GNC] Non-expense, non-income transactions?

2019-09-03 Thread Adrien Monteleone
This is common in many businesses, particularly restaurants.

Create a ‘Petty Cash’ account as a current asset account.

When you ’top off’ the Petty Cash fund, do the following:

Dr. Assets:Current Assets:Petty Cash
Cr. Assets:Current Assets:Checking

If you spend any money from the Petty Cash account, *that* would be an expense:

Dr. Expenses
Cr. Assets:Current Assets:Petty Cash

If you receive cash *that* would be revenue or ‘income’ and should be recorded 
in the form received. If in cash, and you are putting it in ‘Petty Cash’ then 
do:

Dr. Assets:Current Assets:Petty Cash
Cr. Income

If you are just holding the cash receipts separately then do:

Dr. Assets:Current Assets:Undeposited Funds
Cr. Income

And then move the money from Undeposited Funds to Checking when you make the 
actual deposit:

Dr. Assets:Current Assets:Checking
Cr. Assets:Current Assets:Undeposited Funds

When you deposit money from Petty Cash to Checking do:

Dr. Assets:Current Assets:Checking
Cr. Assets:Current Assets:Petty Cash

You may or may not need to separate ‘Undeposited Funds’ and ‘Petty Cash’. 
Usually people who use a petty cash account, keep it at a certain level at all 
times and top it off when it dwindles. It is primarily used for ‘run to the 
store’ expenses when you can’t purchase something in time from a regular vendor 
on an AP account.

‘Undeposited Funds’ might include checks as well as cash.

Adrien

Regarding the export,

What is the purpose of the export and what data are you trying to get out? 
(there might be a way to craft a report in GnuCash that shows the same info)

What are the steps you are currently taking to do the export? (copy/paste/save

Finally, what spreadsheet app are you using to read the exported data? 
(Libreoffice Calc, Gnumeric, something else?)

Actually, there are several rabbit holes there but they mostly relate to
the operating system that your instance of GnuCash happens to be running in.

As Tommy Trussell mentions, we cannot help much without knowing which you
are using.  It would be very difficult to make a FAQ entry that would not
become obsolete faster than last year's phone book (remember those?), so
the best advice is to ask again here or learn more about your operating
system.

What operating system are you using? How did you install GnuCash?

I looked in the FAQ
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#GnuCash_Localization_.28L10n.29_and_Font_Issues

which suggested I look on the GTK3 page:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3

but as you can see, depending on your system you may need to look in yet
another place.

Let us know more about your system and whether you can find what you need
on the wiki. (This looks like a weak point in the FAQ, so please help us
volunteers update it.)

Re: [GNC] Thank you

2019-09-03 Thread Doug
Lyndon,
 it has worked in Aus for many years! So long that I cannot remember the first 
version I used. (One of my old loans was dated 1995 to give an idea)

 I used to run a business & when GST was introduced, it was a bit of a pain, 
but not impossible. Now I have retired, I use it to manage my bank accts & a 
rental property.

 There are some things I would like to see, but they are not a deal breaker to 
me:
-Management of GST for Australia (I think A similar system runs in NZ & other 
countries too). 
What this requires is putting the 10% GST in a management acct, then managing 
the remittance to the Tax Office. 
Also being able to manage changes/mistakes.

-Yearly Tax Management, in Aust case, July 1 to Jun 30. (Prebuilt but editable 
filters that exported the data for Tax to a spreadsheet that I could give to my 
accountant would be great too.)

 Perhaps in future releases these could be covered: There are many countries 
using Value-added taxes, so a way of plugging in the rates (ie dividers), then 
how it is managed would mean it would have general use.

 The Yearly rollovers, & the tax management might also be covered with a rate 
table.

 I have had little success exporting successfully to a spreadsheet, but that is 
probably my lack of skills. One advantage of the full history of the accounts 
is when a property is sold: all the old figures are at your fingertips which is 
much easier than the other well known commercial products (which do not easily 
run on Linux anyway). I am a PCLinuxOS user, also for many years (Easy to use & 
recommended too).


I also would like to thank the developers. I have seen the advancements over 
the years. The program is now far more polished than the early versions. I have 
had hiccups, but never lost any data in 25 years!

regards, Doug (Nth Coast, NSW, Australia, near Byron Bay. Someone has to put up 
with this lifestyle: sunny one day & perfect the next!)
