Re: [GNC] importing csv multisplit multicurrency problems

[pobox . deva]

Sorry Gio, I don’t have any experience with the import or multi-currency 
transactions in GnuCash.

I only responded to your query because you wanted a better way to load a price 
database rather than entering them manually.

Cheers.

Re: [GNC] importing csv multisplit multicurrency problems

[Gio Bacareza]

Hi Pobox.Deva,

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll try that out. However my problem, I
think though I may be wrong, is not the price database but the importing
multicurrency transactions.

I even made it simpler. Pre-import, I calculated and populated the currency
conversions using just 1 exchange rate. I thought that by doing this I
avoid having to maintain a price database that could change on a daily
basis. Because this would mean the calculating the conversions prior to
import will require me to have a different conversion rate depending on the
day. It's possible but I thought it will take more work.

But I may be wrong. So do you think that fixing the price database will fix
the multi-currency import problem I am having?

Thanks.

Re: [GNC] GNC Equity and Retained Earnings not tracking together?

[David Cousens]

Christopher,

In another post on this thread in reply to Mike Novak's reply  to an earlier
post I outlined how Equity:Retained Earnings is generally used in accounting
theory and the distinction between contributed capital and earned capital
usually made in corporate accounting. The Retained Earnings is the nett
*operating* income as you suggest (usually separate from any income from
financing activities of a company. This clear separation is perhaps really
only essential for corporate structures where there is a legal separation of
the liabilities of the shareholder from the liabilities of the business
although other business users (partneships, sole traders) may want to
provide a similar degree of separation for their management purposes.

Do you know if GnuCash has a flag indicating whether the books have been
closed formally or is just the presence or absence of the closing
transactions used to detect this?  

If the books are not formally closed then it is obviously difficult to
reflect the transfer between earned capital and contributed capital that
occurs when dividends are paid or money is reinvested in the business unless
the accounts specifically affecting retained earnings can be specified,
perhaps in the options?  Not all credit splits to equity for example will
reflect such transfers as there are likely to be transactions involving the
share capital (splitting, buy backs etc) which don't affect Retained
Earnings.

Re: [GNC] GNC Equity and Retained Earnings not tracking together?

[David Cousens]

Brian,Michael

I did misunderstand Brian's original question.

My comment below is a general accounting perspective based on general
accounting theory for corporations ( Financial Accounting Horngren etal 5 th
edition, Accounting Theory  Godfrey etal Wiley Australia  (Accounting Theory
Kahn Wiley US looks to be a US equivalent) ) and may be affected by specific
corporation's law requirements/arrangements specific to the jurisdiction. 

The general accounting rationale is to keep clearly separate:

  a contributed capital -  raised from financing transactions;
  b earned capital - derived from profit making activities.

The earned capital consists of the unappropriated profits or retained
earnings. 
Retained earnings may then be appropriated for specific purposes. Retained
earnings does not represent a particular asset. Certain transaction types
will effecct transfers between earned capital and contributed capital (share
dividends, reinvestment etc.).

If the corporation wants to appropriate money from retained earnings for
specific purposes, it will normally establish reserve accounts which would
normally appear immediately above retained earnings in the balance sheet 
(this may depend on local practice). Reserves are generally established for
purposes like reinvestment, dividends etc.  To establish the reserve
accounts . Retained Earnings is debited and the reserve account is credited.
Unused reserves are usually returned to the Retained Earnings account.  When
money is used to increase long term assets for example there would normally
be a credit to a bank account and a debit to the appropriate long term asset
account and a corresponding debit to the appropriate reserve account and a
credit to the share capital account. That is money has been transferred from
the earned capital of the corporation into the share capital by this
transaction.  Similarly if there is a reserve account for Dividends Payable,
money is allocated by a debit to Retained Earnings and a credit to the
reserve Dividends Payable account  and Dividends Payable will be debited and
Share capital credited (again a transfer of earned capital to contributed
capital) when the dividend is paid along with the corresponding credit to a
bank account and debit to share capital (probably  Brian's Shareholder
Distributions which is a contra account) representing the actual payment to
the share holder.

GnuCash where it is  not using the close books and explicit accounting above
should be calculating any reductions to Retained Earnings from the
Shareholder Distributions as Brian implied. Whether this can be done
generally enough in the reports to fit all user situations is the real
question?

Re: [GNC] Income Statement for specific Asset Account ?

[Adrien Monteleone]

A quick follow up...

I know that last reply was really long.

Don’t try to grasp it all right away.

Read it over once or twice.

Run a Transaction Report following the steps I outlined. (forget about tags for 
now)

See how the report looks. If you like that, great, if not, fiddle with the 
options till you get something you like.

Without closing the report tab, go back to a register and start tagging some 
expense and income transactions, a few (or even one) at a time. Add your tag in 
Options > Filter as instructed.

Reload the report. See how the resulting data changed based on the tag. Repeat 
that last step with transactions in other months to see the monthly breakdown 
option.

Refine as needed and tag your remaining relevant transactions.

You’ll learn much more by doing (playing) with the report than by reading. You 
might even discover a different process that works even better.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Income Statement for specific Asset Account ?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Let’s clear up a few things:

0. *Play* with reports to learn them, particularly, don’t use the Ok button in 
Options until it looks the way you want, use the Apply button to keep the 
Options window visible as you adjust settings and preferences.

1. P doesn’t report ‘for’ asset accounts. It reports on only Expense and 
Income accounts. Assets accounts do not ‘own’ those income and expense accounts 
and those accounts do not ‘belong to’ any asset account. All are part of the 
book, which belong to the entity. (a person, a household, a club, an 
organization, a business, etc.)

2. Both the P and the Cashflow report are for a period, with a start and end 
date. You can make this period anything you want in GnuCash. (some apps 
restrict you here, GnuCash does not) There are preset ‘quick dates’ and the 
default is the ‘accounting period’ which for most people is one year. (this is 
set in preferences) But there are quick dates for ’start of this month’ ’start 
of last month’ ’start of this quarter’ etc. (along with their comparable ‘end 
of dates’) But you can also specify exact dates.

What you won’t see is a 12 month side-by-side report. (there is an experimental 
multi-column version of the Income Statement in the Experimental reports menu, 
set your Duration to ‘monthly’)

If you want that for the Cashflow report, you’ll have to run a report for each 
month separately, then move it to a spreadsheet and manipulate further from 
there.

3. If you want to show Income - Expenses *for the entire book* (with account 
selection), you want the P or Income Statement report. (same report, two 
names)

4. The Cashflow report will show *all* movements of cash, not just those 
involving income or expenses. For example, a payment on a loan or credit card 
is not an expense, but it is a cash flow. (the expense was incurred when you 
charged on the card at the store, not when you pay the bill) A loan usually is 
for some asset like a car, land, house, or equipment, but it could be for a 
major expense as well. The expense is incurred when you receive the 
goods/services, not when you pay the loan.

5. If you are using your book for multiple people, like those in a household 
and you want to see each person’s income-expenses in addition to the entire 
household, then you can take three approaches:

  5a. Separate Books for each person, and a combined book for the entire 
household
  5b. One book, with entirely separate account trees for each person
  5c. One book, with separate asset accounts like checking and cash, and 
possibly income, but common expense accounts, using a tagging system for the 
expenses and income.

5a. Will require duplicating entries into the common household book - the 
formal method. (can use Income/P report)
5b. Will require lots of extra accounts and diligence to make sure you aren’t 
using the wrong account in transactions. (can use Income/P report)
5c. Is the least work, but does require making up a tagging system and likely 
saved *Transaction* report configurations for each person. (to save time later) 
Can’t use built-in Income/P Reports, use Transaction Report instead.

The tagging system would work like this:

Using the Notes or Memo field, include text like “#me” or “#bob” et cetera for 
each income and expense transaction. (The exact text can be anything you want, 
even emojis I think)

Then run a Transaction Report

1. Options > Accounts - select all expense accounts and the income accounts. 
(if segregated, then just those for that person)

2. Options > Filter > Transaction Filter - enter the tag text you want to 
filter by, you have an option to use Regular Expressions if you like. (or even 
exclude a text match, such as running a report for the household sans #bob)

3. Options > General > Start/End Date - set to ’start/end of this month’ or as 
desired

4. Options > Sorting > Show subtotals only (hide transactional data) - check 
this box

5. Apply or Ok

This will give you a single column informal Income Statement. (that is, it 
doesn’t create headings for Income and Expenses or separate them) Depending on 
your account tree, more than likely, your expense accounts will be first, 
followed by income accounts.

The default is to show a single figures column with income as negative. You can 
switch to Debit/Credit columns via Options > Display > Amount > ‘Double’. With 
’Single’ you get the option to alter the Reverse Balance setting, but it 
doesn’t appear to work as expected.

The ‘Grand Total’ will be the net income.

!!BONUS

The Transaction Report is very versatile and *can* give you a monthly breakdown.

1. Options > Sorting > Primary Key - change to ‘Date’
2. Options > Sorting > Primary Subtotal for Date Key - set to ‘Monthly’
3. Options > Sorting > Secondary Key - set to ‘Account Name’
4. Options > Sorting > Secondary Subtotal - check this box

optional for readability:

5. Options > General > Table for Exporting - check this box

Now, you’ll get each month for the period 

Re: [GNC] Income Statement for specific Asset Account ?

[Long]

Hello Adrien Monteleone-2,

I think P doesn't have ability to report for only my asset account. For
example, i have Asset named "ME" and Assets named "You". each accounts have
their own expenses - income. i want to have MONTHLY REPORT (Expense vs
Income) for each Asset Accounts.

Now, the only ways are use the Cash Flow report, And it doesn't have Monthly
Report (P doesn't have monthly report too, i saw no option to do that).

Regards.

Re: [GNC] GNC Equity and Retained Earnings not tracking together?

[Brian via gnucash-user]

Christopher, my error.  If you re-read the original post the transaction
was posted Assets:Cash and Equity:Shareholder Distribution.  Liability
was not in the equation.  Basically, your comments confirm that the
GNUCash automatic calculation is rudimentary and to get a true
"retained earnings" that one must "close" books, or consider the
Balance Sheet report with a correction needed for the "Retained
Earnings" line is involved.

My previous statement should have read

While that is disappointing, I can properly calculated true
"retained earnings" from the Balance Sheet report and simply need to add
the steps of "saving" a "open" version prior to closing the books, then
closing income and expense to "EQUITY:Retained earnings" and "saving"
that gnucash version with a tag of "closed" in the file name.  Then
there will be available a non-close version to go back and make
corrections if errors are found in the future.  Extra steps but
workable.  Thanks for the help.

Re: [GNC] GNC Equity and Retained Earnings not tracking together?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Just for the record,

That should be a reduction of cash *and* a reduction of ’Shareholder 
distribution’, not an increase. You aren’t increasing your liability by paying 
it down.

Dr. Liability:Shareholder Distribution
Cr. Cash

The liability is increased via a transaction with Retained Earnings.

Dr. Equity:Retained Earnings
Cr. Liability:Shareholder Distribution

Research Dividends transactions for corporate accounting. You’ll find the 
appropriate accounts needed and how to structure the transactions. (better yet, 
speak to a local CPA!) I think the general term for your ’Shareholder 
Distribution’ is ‘Dividends Payable’ or ‘Dividends Declared’ (which might be a 
separate account)

Some also simply make those distribution accounts as contra-equity accounts 
under Retained Earnings or Shareholder’s equity and don’t involve liability 
accounts at all. It depends on the nature of the payment.

You can have an actual Retained Earnings account along with not closing the 
books, but you may wish instead to close the books. Otherwise, you’ll have two 
Retained Earnings lines on your balance sheet (one as net-income, one as actual 
account) which will require you to export to spreadsheet, combine them, then 
print. An improvement to the current report would be to add the balance of the 
real account to the net-income calculation.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Income Statement for specific Asset Account ?

[Adrien Monteleone]

The GnuCash ‘Cashflow Report’ is misnamed because it doesn’t work like every 
other Cash Flow report out there. (A Cash Flow report is supposed to show the 
effects of cash movements that don’t get reported in the P) It breaks down 
flows by special categories. There is a bug report on this. I don’t think the 
plan is to junk the current report, but until a proper one is made, it will 
retain the current name.

The GnuCash version is more like an overall in-out report, which might well be 
what you are looking for and yes, you can run it each month.

What you won’t see are income and expenses organized like a P, but you will 
see *all* flows in and out, even those that don’t include income or expense 
accounts. (like paying down a liability, it was cash-out but not an expense, so 
it won’t show up on the Income Statement)

You likely want to restrict the account selection for this report to just your 
asset accounts like a checking account and/or a cash account.

Either the Cashflow or P (Income Statement) can be customized with select 
accounts. So if you have multiple sub-entities within your household books you 
can still report on the activity of those entities. But that will depend on 
having either separate accounts for each entity in your tree, or using a field 
like Notes, Memo, or Description to add some sort of tag as part of the text, 
then filtering the report for that tag. (note, this is not official 
functionality of GnuCash, but it is possible to do)

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] GNC Equity and Retained Earnings not tracking together?

[Christopher Lam]

The right answer will be to submit the Transaction Report to the
accountant, have him/her calculate the Retained Earnings and Shareholder
Distribution for you, then you pay your shareholders via Assets:Bank/Cash
-> Liability:Shareholder (and later Liability:Shareholder ->
Expenses:Shareholder Dividends I guess?)

I also think you'd close the books to an Equity:Retained Earnings account
rather than Liability:Retained Earnings. I think untold surprises will
arise if closing books to Liability.

IMHO Balance Sheet's Retained Earnings seems designed to be Net Income
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_income

That's all I know.

Christopher, then I believe you are saying to get a proper "retained
earnings", which recognizes the reduction of Assets:Cash and increase to
Liability:Shareholder distribution, that one would need to properly
close the books by moving income and expense to a Liability:Retained
Earnings sub-account?

Re: [GNC] Income Statement for specific Asset Account ?

[Michael or Penny Novack]

You can select/exclude accounts when running the Income Statement 
report. HOWEVER, asset (and liability) accounts are not involved in an 
Income-Expense report. Why? Because (taking expense first) not concerned 
with whether an expense was paid for by a decrease in cash (from your 
wallet) or increase of  debt (put on your credit card).


It is possible what you want is a report on cash flow. The two reports 
are not the same.

Re: [GNC] GNC Equity and Retained Earnings not tracking together?

[Michael or Penny Novack]

This question MAY require delving into "accounting for corporations when 
using gnucash". It may be that for corporations, the usual process of 
not closing the books and having gnucash showing a VIRTUAL account 
"retained earnings" isn't going to work well for corporations << where 
dividends paid out of earnings and dividends representing a return of 
capital are treated differently >>


It has been far too many years (decades) since I looked at an 
"accounting for corporations" text. We need an accountant here, then 
first describe what is needed were it being done the old fashioned way 
(pen and ink on paper) and THEN seeing how we get gnucash to model that.

Brian,

Brian the Retained Earnings is a component of the total Equity of the
business that records what the operation of the business has contributed to
the Equity. When a distribution is paid it is paid out of Equity and if it
is debited to the Shareholder Distributions and credited to the Asset:Bank
account then it has decreased the Equity appropriately. If you were to also
debit it from Equity:Retained Earnings what is the other account for the
debit side of the transaction? You will have decreased the equity twice for
the one distribution to the shareholders and Retained Earnings will no
longer reflect the operational contribution to the Equity of the business.
The shareholder distribution is not part of the operational aspect of the
business but a part of its capital/financing structure.

The calculation of Retained Earnings and Unrealized Gains in the Balance
Sheet is rather primitive, and has been as such since nearly forever.

Retained Earnings = sum total of income less expenses at the balance-sheet
date.
Unrealized Gains = sum total of (asset-liability) value, minus sum total of
(asset-liability) cost.
