[GNC] Transaction report
OS: Linux GnuCash 4.13 Default currency: USD I am doing a Transaction Report for one account that is in COP for last year. Each month, I receive a fixed amount of COP. In the Options for the report, in Currency, I have checked both Common Currency and Show original currency amount. The Report currency is USD The price source is Last up through report date. In the report: The Debit column shows the same amount each month (as expected). The Debit (USD) column shows different amounts each month. If the price source were based upon report date, I would expect the USD amounts to also be constant. Perhaps, the price source is Last up through <> date. Also, is Report date: Date I run the report (today)? End date (in General Option)? Something else? ___ 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] Schedule transaction for 2 Wednesday?
Set it on the Frequency tab.
Frequency -- pick Monthly
Every ? months -- (enter 1 into that box)
On the {big drop down list} -- Pick the '2nd Wed' from the list.

The closest method I can find is to set the first instance to the
second Wednesday then set frequency to 28 days, or 4 weeks.
But of course, that will sometimes fall on the first Wednesday.
The workaround there is to set it for remind and review without
auto-creation and adjust as needed.

Hi David,
I did something similar to that. I set the
transaction to the 14th.
If the 1st is a Wednesday, then the 2nd W would be
the 8th.
But if the 1st was a Thursday, then the second
W would be the 13th, so picking the day of the
week is not helpful. This is why I picked
the 14th.
Thank you anyway for the reply!

Re: [GNC] Schedule transaction for 2 Wednesday?
In the scheduled transaction editor, in the Frequency tab, in the box under the
Daily/weekly/monthly/yearly drop down menu there is a box where you can set
“Every {number} [time period]
on the next line, it says “On the” [drop down menu] “except on weekends”
[another drop down menu]
At the bottom of the long list in the first of those drop down menus, you can
choose 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th [pick a day of the week]

Re: [GNC] Business Features: How to put info in "Description" field of a vendor's Bill?
Unfortunately, you can't. That field is populated from the Notes on payment transactions as you have discovered, but the Notes field from a bill do not auto-fill into the AP register Notes field on that transaction, and once it is there (by posting it) it is immutable and you can't edit it. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a bug, or if changing it would be an enhancement request. Regards, Adrien On 3/8/23 11:51 AM, Eric Chapman wrote: Hi, everybody!

Alan Well, it's all context related. On my linux desktop files get properly sorted already now with .9 appearing before .12. In fact linux desktop environments have been properly sorting such version numbers for years. So I don't even notice this on the PC I use every day.

Re: [GNC] Confusing version numbers
The fact that 9 is less than 12 is not confusing to me, but sorting by Windows File Explorer routinely puts 12 before 9, whereas 09 is always correctly arranged before 12 (and before 900). From the link, https://semver.org/ provided by LI Daobing, I now understand that there is a conventional way of numbering software releases, but I remain puzzled by the insistence that leading zeros must not be used. It is often the case that the status quo can be seen to work, but it is my opinion that, if an improvement can be made and the effort to do so is minimal, it is normally worth making that improvement. I assume that's what drives the developers to make evolutionary changes and introduce updates. I'd just like to see a numbering system that works in all circumstances. Alan From: Adrien Monteleone For each set of numbers, they run sequentially, without leading zeros. 9 is less than 12. How is that confusing? It isn't '90' and '12' It is '9' and '12'. ___ 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.
