Re: [GNC] invoicing
Hi, thanks Adrien. I really don't know if I'm subscribed to the list or what or not. I'm very inept at this mailing list thing. It was only on my last reply that I actually found the 'reply to all' facility on Yahoo mail here. And I used it. Previously I've been laboriously copying and pasting the address of the list in 'CC'. For years. :( Yes, I only get replies from yourself. There have been others? I better look see how to subscribe. I started the question, never occurred to me that I might be 'locked out' so to speak from part of it. I like the idea of the 'customer report'. I'll think about that. I wonder is it standard accounting practice that every sale is accompanied by one and only one invoice? So that at any time total sales = total invoiced amount ? I've seen many 'paid' invoices given to me in stores. Doubling as a receipt, too. 'Do you want a GST receipt?' say 'yes' and get that. Never been given a 'partial' invoice, though, or an invoice with 'part paid' on it. I'm not using gnu cash for generating any print outs at all right now. For the future I want to get to where I can do everything from gnu cash. But I also want a parallel paper system. I'm paranoid about disk failures and power failures. Right now as you can see from this correspondence I haven't even constructed an optimal paper system. For this simple thing. A single tenant's rent. Never mind a business with many ongoing customers. Got some way to go. :) On Thursday, 27 October 2022 at 10:34:43 am ACDT, Adrien Monteleone wrote: Arthur, I'm copying you directly this time in addition to the list, not sure if you are subscribed to the list.

Re: [GNC] invoicing
Thanks for that. I am after finding proper business practice. So I guess I should not be invoicing for the total amount I see as outstanding? I should invoice for each week and when there is an outstanding unpaid amount I could note that on the invoice perhaps? Or perhaps send a 'statement of account' ? What would you do on rent day if an amount was owing? And from the tone of your answer I guess it's not considered imperative that invoices be numbered sequentially but it's probably preferable. I have been dating them rather than numbering them. Giving each one a number that is the date and adding a '1' to it for the first one for that date. Wanting to check things one day I realised it would be easier for me if they were all numbered sequentially for then I could be sure I'd taken them all into account when looking back. And that's when I realised that looking back and adding them up isn't going to do much when I invoice the way I do. So I came asking. So number them and make them for the week's rent only. If there's a water or repair bill it goes in sequence. then I can total them all at any time and compare with receipts and see where we are at. It's notifying him, reminding him, of the outstanding that's the problem. Just note it on the invoice I guess. :) On Tuesday, 25 October 2022 at 09:46:00 pm ACDT, Derek Atkins wrote: IF you were to use GnuCash's invoicing system, then each (weekly) invoice needs to be $300, because that's the additional amount he owes each invoice period.

[GNC] invoicing
I only have to invoice one tenant is all so it's no big deal. But I would like to know what I'm doing. Currently gnucash is not doing it for me though I keep an account for him on it. I know it is a bit unreal and unusual but I invoice him every week - we've found that's the only way to remind him to pay. I'm in doubt about two things: 1. Should my invoices be serially numbered and each one accounted for or is that totally unimportant? 2. I am in the habit of invoicing for the outstanding amount each week. Is that okay? I begin to think it is wrong if accounts are kept of invoices. Because if his rent were say $300 and he was behind at the beginning by $50 we could get a series over weeks like this: Behind: $50. Invoice: $350 Pays: $330 Invoice $320 Pays: $300 Invoice $320 Pays: $300 Invoice $320 Pays: $320. Now he's square. But I've invoiced $1310 and he's paid $1230. Not at all the same. Doesn't matter?

Re: [GNC] Am I in business?
You're right. I get just as many individual emails addressed to me either way, don't I? But what do I use for the filter? Can't be 'from' if I want to catch both for they differ.

Yes, you could subscribe twice (with two addresses). Although I don't really see the point of doing that. You might as well just tell your email client to file all the gnucash email into its own folder and then you can peruse the subjects that way instead of using a digest AND individual emails.

Hello and thankyou. I'm 'replying to all' in response to your direct email I just got here. Great. Hope I'm doing it right. So it seems to me I should run two accounts with the list. Because I like to see what's being discussed at the same time as I don't like the hassle of responding to those who respond to me in the hassly way we have to do it when using the digests.

What should I be doing? [snip] You are signed up to get email list in digest form, which means the list saves up a bunch of individual messages and combines them into a single email (digest) for you. Unfortunately, yes, the only way to respond to a single message that way is to reply, change the subject, and add the target users. You should also remove the rest of the message, so it's clear *which* message in the digest you're responding to. Most of us do NOT get digests. Instead, each email arrives separately. That makes it much easier to respond to individual messages (although yes, it does sometimes clutter the inbox on busy days).

Re: [GNC] Am I in business?
Just want to thank all those who responded to my query. Thanks for the substack suggestion. Thanks for the cautions about advice. I'm aware of that aspect, don't worry. With respect to that: laws against giving financial advice and the danger of accepting such from the unqualified, I think we need a sort of boilerplate text we could append to replies and perhaps even queries which satisfactorily deals with both aspects. It does get tedious constantly running into it whenever you raise a question. My queries range across a lot of subjects and finance is only one them. And in each subject the are addressed to many venues - as often as not simply found by googling. Its obvious that great volumes of financial information is displayed freely on thousands, maybe millions, of webpages by such as solicitors, accountants, bookkeepers, software vendors and I don't know what-all else. Together with much, much more from 'authorised' sources like the ATO, Lands Dept, Rev SA and on and on.All of them issuing disclaimers and caveats without much problem at all. If they can do it we can all do it. There's far too much panicky nervousness and caution I think. There's real dangers and there's real ways of obviating them. All reminiscent of the covid madness. That's that. I've got this continuing problem with my inability to properly understand how to use this list. I get an email from a member addressed to me that's fine. I can respond to it and choose 'reply to all' as suggested or requested in the template footnote But mainly I just get mailing list updates with a number of subjects listed at the top. I look at that and see if my query is in there. If it is I go read it and then perhaps, like now, I'd like to respond to that particular person. But I don't know how to do that. Except perhaps by noting the email address, noting out subject line, noting the text, writing a new reply email and inputting all that and making the reply go to 'reply all' or something. Its surely easier than that. What should I be doing?

Re: [GNC] Keeping tenant accounts on Gnucash - periodic 'rent owing' ?
I am just making this late post only to say thanks for all the input and inform that my silence indicates my brow furrowed attempts at understanding and implementing. I hope no one thinks I am rudely and ungratefully ignoring their help. :) On Saturday, 5 March 2022, 06:51:20 pm ACDT, flywire wrote: Excellent question Arthur. This isn't a budget issue and you have no idea if tenants are in front or behind unless you compare it to payments due. Adrien seems to have presented the GnuCash features the best using a scheduled A/R. I've used a different approach with quickbooks for this purpose because it has classes allowing one set of accounts to be tagged to different tenants but it should be equivalent with GnuCash. Accounts include: Income/rent, bond (contra), Expense/water (partially reimbursable), various misc income and expenditure relating to tenants. It's easy to miss seldom used accounts. My concern is A/R is a lot of work just to get tenant statements if it's not used elsewhere. It is similar to the issue raised last month regarding tracking vehicles except for the regular rent due: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-February/099785.html As described GnuCash has filtering on tags (eg report a single tenant) but no grouping (eg reports for every tenant and everything else). This is important to ensure all transactions are accounted for with tags. Alternative Process:1. Upload bank transactions to GnuCash2. In GnuCash terms, run a transaction report sorted by say date and split notes (assuming it contains a tag) with payments3. Open report in a spreadsheet with sheets for each tenant having: Date, Due, Payments, Balance Owing4. Append date and payments to each tenants sheet5. Append date and amount due for each period6. Sort by date and payments then copy balance owing formula down for running total7. Check header and footer then print rental statement The spreadsheet ends up as a template that is updated. It's a simple process but it's manual so it carries a risk of mistakes. While GnuCash doesn't support grouping in reports the advantage of open source is the whole thing could easily be automated under piecash to generate reports. A dozen transactions would make a handy demo dataset. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] How To Account For Mortgages With Redraw Amounts?
We have two places and two mortgages already a few years in place. Starting using gnucash now. How to put the places and the mortgages on the books? And how to record the 'redraw' amounts we have paid in?

[GNC] How To Put Opening Balance in Acc Rev Account?
I've opened an account receivable account for my rental place. The tenant is
in credit. He's overpaid. I need to open it with that balance. I don't seem
to be able to put in an opening balance at all.
What to do?
:)

Hi Kerwin
You appear to have 2, or possibly 3, versions of Perl installed - is
that for a specific reason?
(1) An Activestate installation - what are the contents of your perl.bat
file?
(2) One or two mingw versions in slightly different locations - why?
You need to determine which version of Perl that GnuCash is seeing when
it runs - from a *WINDOWS* Command prompt (not a mingw shell) type in
"SET PATH"
Regards
Geoff

Re: [GNC] Subject: Re: Keeping tenant accounts on Gnucash - periodic 'rent owing' ?
I've just finally found the 'reply to all' feature of yahoo... I'm getting there.. That's interesting about the mail merge. I will look into it. Thanks. Sound like it might be the thing. Bit of a hassle setting up the document but from then on Meanwhile I'll play with gnucash. Learn a bit. Make an account for him. Credit with his payments. I or gnucash will debit cash at bank I suppose. And need another account for what he owes? That increments every week - can't be done is what I've learned here? And that would be an 'accounts receivable' account? Where's the double entry for that? If it increments $200 for rent where's the other entry? In his actual account? Credit acc. rec. and debit his account? Then if that's so how does it get wiped out? He pays: I credit his account, good, balance goes to zero. I debit cash at banks. Good, the two entries match. But the incremented 'accounts payable' remains with the credited $200 and they're just mounting up. Is that how it works?

[GNC] don't know..
Not sure if I'm doing this right. Hitting 'reply' on the email address of a poster that I want to respond to and putting a 'cc' in for gnucash-user@gnucash.org I see some people's posts seem to have been made to 'list gnucash' or something. And that advice to 'reply to list' etc. - what's that? I see no such options on my yahoo email. It's referring to choosing for yourself which email address to send to or its an actual menu choice somewhere? And when I do 'reply' yahoo want me to give a subject. Well what? Anything I 'should' put there to suit the list? Okay. That's that. Back to the question. Thanks to everyone for their input. It's got me pretty well fazed. Look like I'm going to have to do a bit of reading and learning on gnucash and accounting/book keeping on the one hand and on the other: it looks like gnucash might not be what I want for this little problem. Overkill or something. But I might as well do the reading etc. and get into gnucash anyway so I'll have a stab. I feel that advice to use the business features might be the way to go so I'll stumble along that road if I can find it, for a while. And I'll haphazardly throw in some posts of our normal household expenses as they come to mind and see how it all works out. You won't believe this but I'm supposed to know book-keeping. I once worked as a book-keeper. Used a couple of proprietary packages. Don't even remember their names now. Was so capable back then I converted the shambolic original system for the community onto the new package. Hard to believe now, eh? Perhaps it'll start coming back to me if I do as I say and start making postings... :) ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] accounts receivable for rent..
I'm sorry to say that I'm immensely ignorant.I have a totally blank gnucash open before me.No 'accounts receivable'.Could you spell it out for me or direct me to where it is spelled out what I should do?We have only one property. Only one tenant. Simplest possible case I guess. I'm thinking I must: . Create an 'accounts receivable' account.That would be an income account I guess. 'Other income' ? Every week I put the rent amount in there. (that's what I"d like to have happen automatically) Then I can print out that balance and show it to him: that's what you owe today. Somehow what he pays has to go into that account to reflect that he's paid. They pay by direct deposit to my bank account. So what do I do? Credit his AR account and debit cash at bank? When I become aware he's paid into my bank account. Then print out a statement showing his balance. That's how it goes? sorry to be so thick. I'm working on it. ab ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Keeping tenant accounts on Gnucash - periodic 'rent owing' ?
No. Sorry. Didn't put the question right. I mean automatic post to the account showing what's owing so that I can see (and print out) at any time (on week by week steps) the balance of the account at that date. Because in fact they're frequently in the red. And frequently in front, ironically, because they never match payments up with owings. So when they come from behind they may finish up with balance of an amount like maybe $27.50 , not enough for a week's rent but nevertheless by law I must consider it rental money. I guess if we credit their account with the monies they pay in then I'd be talking about an automatic debit of the rent amount each week. Would that be right? Save me the trouble of entering it on the due date every week. Or am I going about it all wrong?

Sure, you can set up a scheduled transaction to record it, but that of course assumes that the rent check DOES come every week... > :) > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] Keeping tenant accounts on Gnucash - periodic 'rent owing' ?
We intend to start using gnucash to keep an account of our rental property. This is our first for everything: having a rental, keeping accounts, using gnucash. We can open an account for the property and enter all amounts received as we get them. We can open another for other expenses such as water, I guess. Can we somehow set it up so that the rent due every week is posted to that rent account automatically? :) ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
