Re: [GNC] Gnucash terminal commands not working & e-mail reply to all
Assuming you installed gnucash in your usual applications folder, in a terminal window (zsh) try /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/gnucash-cli /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/gnucash --version You can see & expand these paths by right clicking on gnucash.app in Finder and clicking "Show Package Contents" and then expanding the various folders to find these...

Re: [GNC] What is the current GnuCash version and...
Fran, Since you are using Windows, the Windows installer will automatically remove the current version and install the new version. If you had done a non-standard installation that might not work smoothly, but it will leave your saved report settings, window sizes, etc. intact. I believe there may be an issue with selecting accounts if you are building new transactions in that particular release - see "[Bug 798061] Quickfill for account splits on Windows: input freeze if more than 2 characters are typed" for info. If that will affect you, you may want to wait for the next release before updating.

Re: [GNC] Need Transaction Report on Checking to show only Debits
This almost worked for what I wanted but it gave me a double line for each transaction... line 1: the goes in account line 2: and the goes out account As opposed to when I simply run a Transaction Report on Checking... I can get one line per transaction. I can, of course, export the checking account and do this in a spreadshet... but I thought I could previously do it via a Transaction Report. That said, I've been away from gnuCash for months... maybe a year... and just got called back to do some work... so I'm learning all over again. I do appreciate the help folks. Thanks!

Re: [GNC] Equity Accounts - Opening Balance or no?
Troy Please use Reply List or Reply All when replying to the User forum mail messages. This allows other users to benefit from the dialogues Assuming your file/book has been started before or concurrently with your business then yes. You would then record the contributions and draws as normal transactions as they occur (or backdated appropriately where necessary - for example I paid a lot of the setup costs for my business out of personal funds as I had no business accountsor accounting initially, then included them as owner contributions once I had the accounting setup backdated to when they were made). Owner contributions would be recorded as a debit to the bank account (or the appropriate asset account if you have used personal funds to purchase a business asset for example) and a credit to Equity:Owner Contributions. Owner draws will be the reversal of the debits and credits to the appropriate accounts. David On Wed, 2021-05-12 at 10:24 -0400, Troy Spindler wrote: > I see. Thank you.

[GNC] Error on Advanced Portfolio Report
Hi everyone! I'm facing an issue with in Advanced Portfolio Report: *There is an error processing the transaction 'buying 100. share units'. This may to be caused by a sell transaction causing a negative stock balance, and a subsequent buy transaction causing a zero balance. This leads to a division-by-zero error. It can be fixed by preventing negative stock balances.* I looked for the cause and I found it. But I don't know how to solve it. This problem is caused by a sequence of stock register (just this specific stokc): * Jan 12 - Sell 200 Stock XXX * Jan 12 - Buy 100 Stock XXX Until now, no problem. The report works well. Then I finish this operation: * Feb 17 - Buy 100 Stock XXX When I register this last operation the problem happens. I don't understand that, because I have other operations like this one and the report always works well. To avoid any data entry error, I removed all transactions and inserted them again. Do you have any idea how to solve that? Thanks!

Re: [GNC] Equity Accounts - Opening Balance or no?
On 5/11/2021 3:39 PM, Troy Spindler wrote: Hey all. Does anyone know what's the difference between an Equity account with vs. without having "Opening balance" checked off? From what I can tell, they do the same thing. I have a new business with its own Gnu Cash file, and I'm trying to record my transfers from my personal accounts as equity rather than income. It seems right to use an "Opening balance" account to record my initial investments I made in the company, but should I treat all future transfers from personal the same way? If so, what would a Equity account that isn't an Opening balance account be used for? Thank you, Troy Sad but true, using an application like gnucash to partially automate the processes of bookkeeping do not mean you don't have to take the time to learn the fundamentals of double entry bookkeeping. a) "Opening balance" is a shortcut you ca use when beginning a set of books instead of using an explicit opening transaction or transactions (using two means not having to enter a transaction split on BOTH the debit and credit side) b) Yes, in the future, putting money into your business or taking money out would be transactions where the other side is an equity account. Keep in mind, in the general case the business might not have a sole owner (so partner shares need to be tracked, further investments and drawings). c) With gnucash, you don't have to explicitly "close the books" (close the temporary equity accounts of type "income" and "expense" to equity). Gnucash can produce the P&L report without that. But in this report, you do get to see a virtual (equity) account for net gain or loss. This is the amount that would have been transferred to equity (an equity account) had you done a "close the books". That amount will also show up when you run a Balance Sheet report as a (virtual) equity account "retained gains" (or losses). d) If you do use "opening balance" when opening the books, that account is usually never changed. Especially if, as is likely, you will both be putting money in and taking money out, and you want to see "owner's equity" in one place, that is an argument for not using the "opening balance tool". Thus, personally, I would create the (new) set of books with all accounts 0 (in other words, no opening balance) and under equity I would put an account with a name like "owner's equity". I would then, using your balance sheet from before gnucash to enter two transactions, spits, one for all the asset accounts (credit side "owner's equity) and one for all the liability accounts (debit side "owner's equity) with description "opening the books" dated as of the date the books are being opened for. Then, when in the future, you are making additional investments in the business or taking money out, your net equity will always be available at a glance.
