Re: [GNC] Addition to basis

2023-08-09 Thread R Losey
I am in the USA and I've seen this happen as well. It's been some years
(pre-GnuCash for me), but there was a way to do this in Quicken. I'm sure
that there is a way to handle this.

I don't remember what causes a basis adjustment, but what the basis needs
to change... if you have 100 shares at $10/share, the basis is $1,000.00.
When the basis changes, the result should be that the original basis of
$1000.00 changes; this can be lowered by increasing the share count (or
vice versa).

Let me add that I am not an accountant, nor a tax expert; I'm trying to
pull up memories from a number of years ago when I had to deal with this in
Quicken.  I'm sure if Quicken could do it, there must be a way to do it in
GnuCash.

But if "administrato" is a system administrator, files created (and
possibly written) by that user may not be able to be read by regular users
(assuming "Barry Mahon" is a regular user.  Even if not, there may be
permission issues.

Sign in as "Barry Mahon", navigate to the file under "administrato" and
look at the properties to see what permissions you have.

Re: [GNC] v5.3 split transaction auto completion not working

2023-08-09 Thread Martin Neumann

Thanks David,

I already reverted back to 4.14.
Good to know they work also in 5.1, I'll consider that.
And now I also understand that the problem only exists for recognizing 
transactions entered in past versions. I did not test that.


Regards Martin

Revert to 5.1 and your splits will be auto completed :-)  I found it 
was more work in 5.3 to have to manually re-enter the numerous splits 
I have in txns than take advantage of the latest auto complete features.


As Adrien mentioned, I understand 5.3 remembers newly entered splits 
after the upgrade to 5.3


Regards David H.

Hello,
I just installed v5.3 and encounter a problem with split transactions.
In the past on split transaction entries in the past prior used
entries
were auto completed, which now does not anymore happen.
I used this a lot to call up the correct account for the transaction
based on it's description.

On normal "non splitted" transaction entries the autocomplete
works as
documented.

Am I doing something wrong?
Is this feature removed?
Is it a "bug"?

If anyone could help it will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Martin

Should be trivial.

When signed in as "administrato", try to access the files stored under 
"Barry Mahon". Or vice versa.
