Re: [GNC] accounts catergories are missing

[Deva -]

Awijeet,

You can try changing the locale to US and re-launch Gnucash. It should show the 
Common Accounts setup this time. Once you have chosen your account setup and 
saved your datafile, you can switch your locale back to India.

I setup my datafile around mid 2015 when GST Indian Business was non-existent 
and so it showed me the Common Accounts to create my own hierarchy from 
scratch. But when I try to setup a new accounts file now, yes, I too see only 
the GST Indian Business.

I think the Common Accounts hierarchy is more useful to new users than GST 
Indian Business. The latter is only useful if you are providing services under 
GST. It will be nice to have the option of both hierarchies, so a new user can 
pick whichever (s)he wants.

Cheers.

Awijeet,

For personal finances you should  be able to use the Common Accounts
setting. This will give you a basic set of accounts you can customize
further to your needs. See the Help and Tutorial and Concepts Guide in the
links below for instructions and more detail on how to do that. It may be
possible waht you can see is being limited by your locale setting.  Try
setting it to somewhere like the USto see if that allows you to see the full
list of account heirarchies. If it does then select the Common Accounts,,
then change your locale back. You may have to edit some account names to
suit your local usage.
