GnuCash: Register Entry Autofill

2018-03-18 Thread Charles Sliger
Is there any way to turn off the autofill function when ebtering
transactions in a register?
GnuCash frequently insists on creating a split transaction that I have
to deconstruct in order to enter a simple transaction.
I've looked in the Preferences but can't find anything that turns this
off.

John,
What I will be documenting is the actual nuts and bolts process for
using GnuCash, Python, and Postgresql together.  Integration is probably
too strong a word right now but I see these three as being very
complementary.  While it might be true that all of the information is
out there somewhere, I have had to make a number of educated guesses in
the process of just getting GnuCash and Postgresql working together.
This was after purchasing and reading all three books on GnuCash and
spending a good deal of time with on-line research.  Most people are not
going to have the time to become dba's in order to reap the benefits of
an RDBMS such as Postgresql.  I find they can benefit from having the
documentation for something like this pulled together in a single
narrative.  Given that the average PC today can easily handle running a
combination like this, it seems natural to leverage the capabilities of
a database like Postgresql.
S...  I just thought I'd ask if there was a place put this kind of
information and a process for getting it there.

Regards,

GnuCash: Multiple Views Of Data

2017-09-20 Thread Charles Sliger
Switching from QuickBooks to GnuCash.
Q: Is there any facility in GnuCash that allows you to create multiple
views (reports, etc) of your financial data?
In QuickBooks you can use what they call a "Class" to provide an
alternate grouping of records that can be used in reports.
What would be even better would be the ability to assign a set of
keywords to data items (transaction, etc) that could then be used in
reports to look at the same item from multiple viewpoints (jobs,
projects, localities, financing streams, material lots, etc).
Does anything like this exist in GnuCash or is anything along these
lines in the works?
Regards,
