Re: [GNC] How do you edit the defaults for new account creation?

[Ronal B Morse]

Take a look at the menu bar:

file > export > export accounts

That might do what you want

Hello,

I want to use individual folders to sort each year with the .gnucash
database file named with the corresponding year.

eg: 2018.gnucash

Is there way to create a new "account" that is prepopulated with my bank,
credit card, mortgage and expense categories information using automation as
opposed to manual entry?

Thanks!

It is unclear for what you are asking.

Do you want separate books for each year? (like in the old days of pen 
and ink on paper, they might start off each year with a fresh set of books.)


Something else in mind?

Re: [GNC] How do you edit the defaults for new account creation?

[David T. via gnucash-user]

John,

It’s not entirely clear what you’re asking for. It sounds as if you want to 
create year-based account trees within your main GnuCash data file. IOW:

Assets:Checking:2017
Assets:Checking:2018
Assets:Investment:2017
Assets:Investment:2018

or perhaps:

Assets:2017:Checking
Assets:2017:Investment
Assets:2018:Checking
Assets:2018:Investment

There is nothing to prevent you from implementing such a structure, but it will 
likely result in a great deal of work for you, as there is no automation to 
support this.

If, however, you are looking to set up separate annual data files for gnucash 
(i.e., mybooks-2017.gnucash and mybooks-2018.gnucash) you should look at 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Closing_Books 
 for discussions relating to this. 
The short answer to your specific question about availability of automating 
tools is, “no, there are no such tools.”

I will also tell you that a perennial topic on these lists is whether or not 
such steps are useful or needed, with opinions on many sides. You could google 
“closing books site:lists.gnucash.org ” to see some 
of these discussions.

HTH,
David T.

[GNC] How do you edit the defaults for new account creation?

[johnblue]

Hello,

I want to use individual folders to sort each year with the .gnucash
database file named with the corresponding year.

eg: 2018.gnucash

Is there way to create a new "account" that is prepopulated with my bank,
credit card, mortgage and expense categories information using automation as
opposed to manual entry?

Thanks!
