[GNC] Version 5.5 crashing when running Customer & Vendor Reports
Hi all, I recently upgraded to version 5.5 and noticed that whenever I try to run a Customer or Vendor report GnuCash crashes. I have tried running the reports several different ways all result in the program crashing immediately. I came across a few posts about this occurring to other users and wondering if there is a workaround or if I should revert back to version 4.14 until a new stable release is updated.

[GNC] Issuing a credit to customer
Hi all, I am curious how one may resolve the following scenario in Gnucash. A client sent me a payment check in the mail for $1,450. The check was lost in the mail so my client issued me a new check and I successfully received and processed the payment in Gnucash. Then a few months later the missing check appeared and I mistakenly deposited the check without cross-referencing the check date and amount (lesson learned there). Now I have $1,450 extra in my checking account. My client asked I just issue them a credit on their next invoice. So my question is two-fold: 1) How would I categorize the extra $1,450 since the original invoice has already been marked paid? Marking it as "assign as payment" does not seem correct since there is no invoice to apply it to. I was thinking I could assign it to "Income - Sales" or possibly "Income - Other" and not process it as a payment. 2) How would I issue the Credit Note back to the client to be applied on future invoices?

Re: [GNC] Invoice showing balance due
David, I just stumbled through this issue as well. I was able to get a $2,000 customer credit to show as a payment on a new invoice by doing the following steps: 1) create new invoice and post to A/R. 2) select new invoice and make payment. 3) when the payment window opens select the outstanding credit plus the new invoice amount. 4) in the payment amount section enter $0.00. This should apply the credit to the new invoice. 5) print new invoice. When printing new invoice select the Options tab then Diplay tab and make sure "payments" are selected to print. 6) print new invoice as PDF and verify the customer credit was applied Hope this helps. -Ryan -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of gnucash-user-requ...@gnucash.org Sent: Friday, June 3, 2022 1:49 AM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: gnucash-user Digest, Vol 231, Issue 4 Send gnucash-user mailing list submissions to gnucash-user@gnucash.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to gnucash-user-requ...@gnucash.org You can reach the person managing the list at gnucash-user-ow...@gnucash.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of gnucash-user digest..."

So I have to edit the printed invoice manually to indicate the account balance.

Re: [GNC] Closing Books - Pros & Cons
Thanks Everyone. ADRIEN hit the nail on the head! I didn't know you could select "Period Totals" to display in the Chart of Accounts. This gives me what I was looking to achieve without the need to use the "Close Book" feature which as described can lead to some problems with running reports that overlap fiscal years. PS - Am I correctly replying to the List Serve in regards to "editing the subject line" and "replying all" so the thread is documented correctly? As mentioned, I am knew to all this. Thanks again y'all!

[GNC] Closing Books - Pros & Cons
Hi All, I am using Gnucash for my small business (a design consultancy) and I have no experience or knowledge of accounting. Could someone please explain the PROs & CONs of using the “Close Books” feature in layman’s terms? The online database states that using the “Close Books” tool will result in some report inaccuracies. Could someone elaborate on which reports would result in inaccurate reports? I ran a few test reports after using the “Close Book” tool and I did not notice any report inaccuracies. Given my limited accounting knowledge it only seems intuitive that one would always want to reset their chart of accounts for each fiscal year so you can quickly see the correct period totals for each account. What does everyone else do when starting a new fiscal year?
