A predictive bar graph needed

[Cliff McDiarmid]

   Hi

   I've just moved over from Quicken.  There was a rather neat feature in
   it, whereby through a 12 month calender, one could input expenses and
   income over the days of the months and see the predicted outcome in a
   bar graph below.

   I need a similar thing in gnucash, but through the budget feature a
   cannot get the outcome at the moment.  I can only get a monthly view
   which is not imformative enough.   Any advice appreciated.

   thanks

   Thanks got it now.   The mistake I was making was putting my current

   One more thing on this subject.  Why, when posting the invoice does it
   place the amount in the A/R account as you explained, BUT also in the
   receivable account(current)as a DEBIT!

Template for invoicing

[Cliff McDiarmid]

   Hi

   Is there a way of creating an invoice template that comes up every time
   I bill someone.

   At the moment I have to go to 'Style sheets' and select the 'Custom
   Invoice' I created, every time I create an invoice, in order to get it
   to display.  Even then, try as I might, I cannot get a heading to work
   in the invoice.  Created in Openofficedraw, even a size 12 font will
   not be accepted.  Even a 'Default' invoice has the date out of place.

   Any tips?

   Many thanks

Creating and Posting an Invoice

[Cliff McDiarmid]

   Hi

   I've nearly got gnucash running as i want it but i need some advice on
   posting an invoice which is proving confusing.

   I create an invoice where one has to select an Income account; in my
   case a current account.  But when it gets to posting the invoice one
   has to select a 'Post to Account' where one has to create a 'A/c
   receivable'.  I assume this because of the double accounting, but why
   can't I just select an Income account such as 'Wages' at this stage?

   If i create a new 'A/c receivable', then when I post the invoice it
   only goes to that account, but not to my current a/c.  Erh, why is
   this?

   Also.  Is there a way of creating an invoice template that comes up
   every time I bill someone.  At the moment I have to go to 'Style sheets
   and select my 'custom invoice' every time I create an invoice in order
   to get it to display properly.

   many thanks

   Thanks Geert.  I thought you had the answer, I had 5 voided
   transactions 'buried' amoungst my data.   I reset them using the filter
   option and then saved the filter, but I still can't delete these a/cs I
   have.  The voided transactions have disappeared from the accounts in
   question, but still reappear when searching all accounts.  What's going
   on?

   I right click on the account and select delete account.   I get a box
   that gives me two options. To move the transactions and to delete them,
   but the delete option is greyed out.  The message in the same box
   says:  'This account contains read-only transactions which may not be
   deleted'

Read only transactions

[Cliff McDiarmid]

   Hi

   I still haven't sorted my Quicken import, getting the correct balances
   without a 'balance adjustment' is difficult.

   But the question is:  How do i delete an account when it contains read
   only transactions?  I know i can move the transactions elsewhere, but I
   need to delete the accounts.

   I understand that the 'placeholder box' needs to be unchecked; it
   already is.  Need a solution, Google yields nothing.


   thanks

Thanks Jeffery.  I have reached the point now where I'm doing as you suggest.  
There are many alterations to make.

   Quicken is huge and has references to other card accounts as categories
   within it. These accounts don't exist anymore and gnucash is trying to
   create them as part of the import. This is something I'd like to avoid.
   Hope this makes sense. Cliff

   Thanks again for all the thoughts.   Me thinks this data transfer is
   going to take some time.

Dealing with a large QIF file

[Cliff McDiarmid]

   Hi

   I'm importing a large QIF file(a current a/c)about 6000 entries.
   There are about a dozen other a/c's from Quicken, now closed,
   associated with this large file.   When importing, Gnucash seems to
   want to create these defunct a/c's to 'balance the books'.  I assume
   there isn't any way of avoiding this.   The whole thing looks like it
   will be horrendous.  I've imported some small credit card a/c's already
   with success, but they were not any of these other closed accounts.

   Any advice please.
   thanks

   Cliff

   Thanks Colin and all, but in the end I managed to compile from source
   and it started first time!  I had wanted to do this originally but had
   problems with guille.

   All I've got to do now is learn the damn thing.

Gnucash coredump

[Cliff McDiarmid]

Just found this here 'https://lists.gnucash.org/wiki/Slackware'
 
/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas >/dev/null 2>&1

 
Please execute the last command after installation or you will receive error 
like:  Settings schema 'org.gnucash.general' is not installed
 
Maybe this is not a fault.  At a terminal all I get is : Trace/breakpoint trap 
(core dumped)
