Re: [GNC] Need help

2021-04-16 Thread Fross, Michael
Hello Glen,

As a note of encouragement, I also read it when I first started after
bumping my head into things which now seem obvious.  The authors did a very
nice job making it easily readable and walking you through step by step.
It doesn't answer every question, but it gives you the foundation which is
really needed to be successful.

Have fun with it and welcome to the community.

Michael

Glen,
Welcome!
Because it is so easy to make practice files and more practice files and
delete and start over, you do not need to read the entire 311 pages before
you start!

Also, the only test is the one where you get a result that meets your needs.

Glen
Welcome here
I think that you would do well to read the concepts guide and tutorial,
which does have detailed explanations, and then start a set of books
simply to experiment with and practise in.

https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide.pdf

Warning, because it is detailed, it's 311 pages long.

Then come back with your questions.

[GNC] Need help

2021-04-16 Thread Glen Bailie
Dear Sirs,

I am trying to set up a set of books, but have come across some problems for
which I need help.

!) How do I get into Accounts,

2) How do I do transactions from a bank cheque account, such as receipts and
payments that are not from customers or vendors. For example bank charges,
and subscriptions.

3) When I enter a new Vendor, I get the message " no valid vendor can be
found" What is wrong  here? 

 

Would you please give me detailed instructions about solving the above
problems.

Regards,

Glen Bailie
