Re: [GNC] Thank You Michael D Novack (Geoff)
Hi Michael, I'd like to second Geoff's comments about your regular contributions to the list being not only interesting, but also very helpful. My mother is a bookkeeper and she always reiterates how important it is to know why you are doing something in principle before attempting to do it electronically. Your paper-to-computer explanations do this by helping us all remember and understand the fundamentals underpinning our electronic accounts systems, so we can therefore find the appropriate accompanying functionality in Gnucash (whereas in other tutorials for other programs you mostly get 'how' to force your numbers into the system in order to make them 'fit' and 'appear' correctly.

I send my thanks to the group that writes and maintains this software. I have used it since version 2.6.1 at least. I've used or at least played with Quicken, Quickbooks, NPTreasurer, and probably a few others. Gnucash is ahead of them all for my purposes.

Re: [GNC] Thank you
Doug, I have been handling GST in GnuCash for more that 10 years with the ability to manually define a tax table at least that long. It has been possible to define accounts to collect GST collected and GST input tax on purchases for all that time. Not fully automatic, not specific to AUS GST, and no reports but it wasn't too hard to extract the quantities from my accounts required for a BAS statement. Most of the discussion about setting this up was way back in the archives of the mailing list and is searchable (as early or earlier than 2010 when I began using GnuCash and preparing BAS statements using it). The more recent developments Christopher Lam mentions are more on the reporting side. As the ATO moves towards direct electronic submission, the requirements are also becoming a bit more rigid but so far not impossible. Agreed on the offset financial year. I have not really found a problem just using the custom settings in the preferences, apart from remembering to do it, but having it as the default option for a book would be nice and is planned for the next major release. The guide also has a section on setting it up under the Business features. It discusses specifically a sales tax setup but this is easily adopted for GST type taxes. The management of changes and mistakes is no problem at all. In most cases you can simply edit the transaction involved particularly if you do not formally close your accounts to equity which is not absolutely necessary given GnuCash's reporting system which calculates the necessary reports without having to use the formal procedure. The formal closure is also available if you really need to use it. If any accounts involved have been reconciled you will obviously need to re-reconcile them. If you are sure the errors are not compounded you can also use an adjustment transaction suitably notated to correct errors, at least within the same accounting period. Modifying transactions outside the current period will of necessity change the results of reports from previous accounting periods which can be a problem if you have submitted them for tax etc. Tthey can easily be regenerated and most tax and reporting authorities will generally allow you to amend previous lodgements, often, but not always without penalty, if you point it out to them and it is a genuine mistake. You can generate arbitrary adjustment transactions as needed. I admit you probably have to have some accounting knowledge to define the correct target accounts for adjusting and correcting transactions though. What specific problems have you had with exporting CSV? It is generally a follow your nose with the selection of the options. Re-importing data exported generally works but problems have been reported with foreign currency and stock transactions. Using the default GnuCash Export format data should be readily importable. I have a self imposed project to update and try to improve the documentation for the importers (mainly CSV, OFX and the matching process to existing accounts and transfer accounts) so I would be interested in any problems you have encountered, particularly from the perspective of a new user.

Re: [GNC] Thank you
So the question remains, have you tried opening those exports yourself and with what software? What software is your accountant using? (QuickBooks? since you mentioned .qif) Did they try opening in a spreadsheet app? Now, if I understand correctly, you are currently sending the HTML or PDF copies of the reports, but want to send the CSV export of the GnuCash book so they can import it directly to QB? I’m not sure if QB would just ‘open’ a CSV and intelligently offer to import the data or not. The accountant might have to intentionally do a CSV import from within QB with the file.

Re: [GNC] Thank you
If you mean in Preferences > Accounting Period, I agree. I’m surprised this hasn’t been fixed to ‘relative years’ yet. Certainly, filing a RFE (Request for Enhancement) in Bugzilla would be in order. I would think a user would expect a much more sane option to select the day/month and let the years roll over automatically just as they do for all of the ‘Relative’ options. I also find it odd that the Relative options don’t have ’Start/End of Quarter 1/2/3’ instead of ’This/Previous Quarter’ as that depends on todays date, which is kind of weird for that preference. In reports however, once the Accounting Period is set you can use ‘Accounting Period’ as a relative date reference.

Adrien, one thing that would help in Australia is in the setup to be able to set the year start as 1 July, & end as 30 June. Currently the only options are the beginning of the year, monthly, quarterly, or absolute. I usually use absolute, resetting each year. regards, Doug On Wed, 4 Sep 2019 23:09:55 +1000 Doug wrote: > Thanks Adrien.

Re: [GNC] Thank you
Thanks Adrien. Every year I need to send my data to my accountant who does not (yet) use Gnucash. I did not have any success exporting to .qif files: not sure why. (Would not read into Quickbooks) I thought a spreadsheet might be better way to go. This is a new accountant because my last accountant retired (at 85! & still runs a farm: tough people these rural folk). Previously I supplied hard copy reports because they were old-school. The new accountant is quite happy for electronic version, but last year I had no success with her reading my files. Basically, I have always prepared a report on each account for the 12 months which detail my tax deductible transactions. I am no accountant, & even tho I have used Gnucash for years, I still have issues every tax year but usually bumble through. regards, Doug On Tue, 3 Sep 2019 13:14:05 -0500 Adrien Monteleone wrote: > Regarding the export, > > What is the purpose of the export and what data are you trying to get out? > (there might be a way to craft a report in GnuCash that shows the same info) > > What are the steps you are currently taking to do the export? > (copy/paste/save report results or export -> CSV) > > Finally, what spreadsheet app are you using to read the exported data? > (Libreoffice Calc, Gnumeric, something else?) > > Regards, > Adrien > > > On Sep 3, 2019 w36d246, at 7:26 AM, Doug wrote: > > ... > > > > I have had little success exporting successfully to a spreadsheet, but that > > is probably my lack of skills.

Re: [GNC] Thank you
Regarding the export, What is the purpose of the export and what data are you trying to get out? (there might be a way to craft a report in GnuCash that shows the same info) What are the steps you are currently taking to do the export? (copy/paste/save report results or export -> CSV) Finally, what spreadsheet app are you using to read the exported data? (Libreoffice Calc, Gnumeric, something else?)

Re: [GNC] Thank you
Lyndon, it has worked in Aus for many years! So long that I cannot remember the first version I used. (One of my old loans was dated 1995 to give an idea) I used to run a business & when GST was introduced, it was a bit of a pain, but not impossible. Now I have retired, I use it to manage my bank accts & a rental property. There are some things I would like to see, but they are not a deal breaker to me: -Management of GST for Australia (I think A similar system runs in NZ & other countries too). What this requires is putting the 10% GST in a management acct, then managing the remittance to the Tax Office. Also being able to manage changes/mistakes. -Yearly Tax Management, in Aust case, July 1 to Jun 30. (Prebuilt but editable filters that exported the data for Tax to a spreadsheet that I could give to my accountant would be great too.) Perhaps in future releases these could be covered: There are many countries using Value-added taxes, so a way of plugging in the rates (ie dividers), then how it is managed would mean it would have general use. The Yearly rollovers, & the tax management might also be covered with a rate table. I have had little success exporting successfully to a spreadsheet, but that is probably my lack of skills. One advantage of the full history of the accounts is when a property is sold: all the old figures are at your fingertips which is much easier than the other well known commercial products (which do not easily run on Linux anyway). I am a PCLinuxOS user, also for many years (Easy to use & recommended too). I also would like to thank the developers. I have seen the advancements over the years. The program is now far more polished than the early versions. I have had hiccups, but never lost any data in 25 years! regards, Doug (Nth Coast, NSW, Australia, near Byron Bay.
