Re: Is there a way to set an account's beginning balance AFTER having created it in GnuCash?
A thought, I never, or just the last 40 years, make a beginning entry in account creating. Sometimes I set up my next year before I have closed out my previous year, so I don't have the final transactions for the Asset, Liability and Equity accounts. I have a list of opening balance transactions for those accounts. which I create each year, whether the amounts are zero or not. Keeps me in control vs. the program.

That shortcut just creates a transaction to offset the opening balance with an entry in Equity:Opening Balances. You can open that account and duplicate any previous entry changing the transfer account to a different account to create an opening balance in another account.

Just open the account tab and change the opening balance entry - the one at the top.

An account opening balance is just a regular tranasaction between that account and an Equity account (normally Equity:Opening Balances". During account creation if you enter that amount it will auto-create that transaction for you. But in your case, just create that transaction manually. It's the same end result. > Thanks! > > Bob > 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 https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Bob, The Opening Balance shortcut that you see when creating an account is not functional after the account is created, as you have seen. That shortcut just creates a transaction to offset the opening balance with an entry in Equity:Opening Balances. You can open that account and duplicate any previous entry changing the transfer account to a different account to create an opening balance in another account.
