Re: [GNC] Deposit\Withdraw on one account, Increase\Decrease on others. Why?
Also, if you started with the wizard which creates some basic accounts for you, some of those would have been special types. Another example would be credit card accounts. You can create them as generic liability accounts but if you make them type ‘credit card’ there are special labels for those registers. I’m pretty sure Help documents each special type and the associated labels. (but I could be mistaken, I haven’t looked in some months. That info might be in the Guide instead.)

Oh wow. It was right in front of me the whole time! I guess my brain assumed that since it was next to the chart of accounts that it had something to do with that.

If you open the "Edit Account" view (where the name, description, parent account, and so on are also entered) you will see a choice of “Account Type”. Note that the available account types are also constrained by the parent account — for example, you cannot make an Expense account that is a child account of an Asset placeholder account. ___ 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.

I guess my question then is how does gnucash know an account is a bank account vs a generic asset account? The accounts I'm referring to are indeed bank accounts so I'd want to have that reflected in gnucash, if possible. I don't recall specifying that one of them is a bank account and the rest are generic asset accounts.. You're right, though, I could also just use the standard headings and get used to it :) Thanks --dave -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ 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] Deposit\Withdraw on one account, Increase\Decrease on others. Why?
Deposit/Withdraw are used for bank accounts. Generic asset accounts use Increase/Decrease. There might be other special accounts besides bank accounts with their own context labels, but I don’t know because I use formal labels. It doesn’t make much sense to ‘deposit’ into, or ‘withdraw’ from, an asset account that tracks, say—the value of your home. The only way (without custom programming) to get the same column headings is to use formal labels. (they really aren’t that bad once you learn how they work. I prefer them) Regards, Adrien > On Dec 29, 2019 w1d363, at 10:47 PM, ddhahn wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm a pretty new user to gnucash and am getting settled in.

[GNC] Deposit\Withdraw on one account, Increase\Decrease on others. Why?
Hi all, I'm a pretty new user to gnucash and am getting settled in. I've searched the list for the answer to this. I found similar questions but nothing that lead me to an answer. I've noticed that one of my asset accounts has deposit\withdraw columns while my other asset accounts have increase\decrease columns. I can't figure out why this is and where I might changed it so that all the asset accounts have the deposit\withdrawl nomenclature. The "Use formal accounting" names setting changes everything to debit\credit, so that's not it. Thanks for all your help and for supporting this great project! --dave -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ 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.
