So really I want to create a bill in June. In what sense is this a "reconciliation error"? Reconciliation is the process of comparing your records with the bank's records, and dealing with any differences. One class of difference is when your records show a transaction, but the bank's records do not show that transaction. That transaction is left unreconciled. Another class of difference is when both your records and the bank's records show a transaction, but the details (e.g. the amount) differ. That transaction gets corrected in your records, or flagged as a bank error, or something. In this case it looks like your records omitted a transaction from June, and you just now see it in the bank's records from August. Have you reconciled your records with the bank's records from August yet? If so, you should have noticed the transaction in the bank's records. If you have not yet reconciled with the bank's records from August, then now is the time to correct the discrepancy. …What's the best way out of this? First, validate that the bill is valid, that the vendor did issue it, and that it was correct to pay it. If any of those are not true, start a dispute about the error. If they are true, then create a bill in your records dated in June, and record that it was paid from your bank account in August. You got two month's worth of float. Congratulations.

[GNC] Invoice tax bug in GNUCash 4.13?
Hello, I noticed that when I enter a discount my tax amount is off. It seems that GNUCash 4.13 calculates the tax on the item price and ignoring the discount amount. I enter an invoice with: quantity: 1 item price: 169.95 (sale price including taxes/VAT) discount type: $ discount how: > (so the discount is after tax) discount amount: 17.00 tax included: X tax table: German VAT (19%) I then get: subtotal: 125.82 tax: 27.13 So they add up to the discounted price of 152.95. However the correct subtotal should be: 128.53 and VAT/tax should be: 24.42 I tried different settings, like <, = and no tax included. Also, when I enter the price excluding vat (so 142,82) then the tax is still off when applying a discount. Only when adding the discount to the price and skip the discount column, then it calculates VAT fine. Is this a bug or intended use? Thanks. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Is this a wacky idea?
Like us PortableApps is using SourceForge only as a download site. The source code there is 8-10 years old. There's newer source at https://github.com/PortableApps, some of which seems up to date but mostly not: The GnuCash package at https://github.com/PortableApps/AppConfigs/tree/master/G/GnuCash is 3 years old and for 3.6; that's not what's offered at https://portableapps.com/apps/office/gnucash_portable. I can't find any source at all anywhere for https://portableapps.com/download. The launcher at https://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_launcher says 2.2.3 but what's at was last updated 2 years ago and the last tag there is 2.2. What's in the GnuCash package files is a bit lacking as well: It contains configuration information for their platform, things like directory locations and registry keys. There's no build information, no dependency information (other than environment variables for AQBanking and Gwenhywfar versions), and no indication of what runtime it uses. If it all works OK for you then no problem, but the GnuCash community may not be able to help with problems that aren't clearly inside GnuCash. Be sure to read https://portableapps.com/support/gnucash_portable#known_issues, though it's at least partly out of date: The Microsoft update linked in the Network Drives item 404s.

Re: [GNC] Is this a wacky idea?
I agree with Fred Bone's comments about the portable version. You might be clicking on some ad-driven thing or maybe going far afield. I think you are not getting to the right website to download portable Gnucash. There is one site on SourceForge "brought to you by Rayven01 that seems pretty HINKY. It promotes a very old version of GNC, has no reviews and no recent downloads. No way to know if this is where you are getting your spammy dating site or monthly charges "offers" or not but you surely have a problem somewhere along the line. If this is the SF site you are on I would WALK AWAY! It could be possible that you have a browser or host file problem perhaps that is redirecting you somewhere bad? re: Portable Apps -- on SF you can dl the actual PortableApps platform which provides a launcher for lots of apps under the PortableApps umbrella. I don't use it. What I do use is the latest portable version is GnuCashPortable_4.13.paf.exe which can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/ and then navigate to the Files tab then click gnucash portable (dated 2022-12-24) click then navigate down the page to the PAF file you want. As an option to using portable versions one can use Revo Uninstaller which will uninstall a standard install of Gnucash reliably. Or I use Revo Uninstaller Pro (paid) which will track an install and allow a very thorough uninstall.

There I see a large green "button" saying "Download Now - Free". I click it and get a page headed "Download PortableApps.com Platform 23.1 - Free App Store & Menu" with another green "button" saying "Download from PortableApps.com". I click that and the resulting page autostarts a download. (I cancelled that because I already run PortableApps for a couple of things and it will update itself anyway next time I run it). Yes there are several ads on the page, but there's no compulsion to click on them. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] Is this a wacky idea?
Anyone can run https://portableapps.com/apps/office/gnucash_portable in Windows without installing it. It is probably better than installing GnuCash on your computer. It also allows you to install a dev version on your computer without messing up the working version. I still think you would be better to just run the reports and give them to your accountant as a searchable pdf or html. No, the links don't work after they have been exported but it's normally just a matter of referring to another report. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] add note to transaction
To make significant changes to transactions I normally export them as csv, change the file, delete the transactions with a keyboard shortcut, and import them back in. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
