You got some suggestions when you posted this before. Did you try them?

I think your best solution -- maybe your only solution -- is to work in
the General Journal.

Auto-completion of new transactions references anything in the current
view of the General Journal. Once a new transaction has been created by
auto-completion, you can edit it just like any other transaction in the
General Journal. All splits are visible and remain where they are even
if you change the account in a split.(*)

If you want older transactions to provide the source of auto-completion,
once you have opened General Journal click View » Filter By, and be sure
to tick the Save Filter box.

(*) This is not necessarily true in the account registers. Suppose you
are working in the register for Account A, and you see all splits
because your view is Auto-Split or Transaction Journal, or because you
have clicked the Split button for a particular transaction. At least one
split in that transaction will reference account A, and it is said to
"anchor" the transaction to Account A. If only one split in a particular
transaction references Account A -- the usual case -- and you change
Account A in that split to reference some other account, the transaction
will disappear from Account A's register and appear in the other
account's register.

Jan,

There were several responses, some of which went to you directly as well as
the to the group, to your original posting, between the 12th and the 17th.
Perhaps you're not  receiving them directly, check your spam folder, and
also check wherever you see other postings in the group.

Hi everyone:

 

GnuCash "remembers" the description of postings and fills in previous
values, e.g. for account and value. This memory seems to be account
dependent, i.e. postings from one account are not remembered in another. Is
it possible to turn the automatic population of posting values based on
description ACROSS accounts on?

 

Alternatively, is there an easy way to cut a posting out of one account and
put it in another (other than using the Transaction Journal view and
changing the account manually). With Quicken, you could just cut and paste .

 

Thanks for any help, Jan

Re: [GNC] Automatic population of posting values based on description ACROSS accounts

[G R Hewitt]

I always went the 'pen and ink' route at work, I firmly believe a
paper-trail is essential, especially when every transaction is logged in an
audit trail,
like in Sage Line 50 etc. This way you have a reason and provable
explanation as to why a transaction was altered, especially months later
when an auditor asks 'Why was this changed?'.
For personal finances I go the 'correct the transaction' route, after all
I'm not going to 'carpet' myself.

While I know I can do this, I just keep forgetting to use it when I put a
transaction in the wrong account.

Personally, I consider using the wrong account akin to a typographical
error, and I don't have a problem editing it correctly, as long as that
account has not been reconciled... and usually, reconciliation is when I
find I made the error.

For those who may not know ... It's also possible simply to change the
wrong credit card to the right one, directly in the original
transaction. If you do it in the account register for the wrong account,
the transaction will disappear from that register (and appear in the
correct account's register, if you have it open) as soon as you press
Enter to commit the transaction.

There are two main philosophies around correcting transactions. One
thinks in pen-and-ink terms and so will enter a correcting transaction:
in the case of a credit-card transaction that means a debit to the wrong
account and credit to the correct account. The other will correct an
error by editing the original transaction as outlined above. (Some
people will edit a recent transaction but not a transaction that was
entered months ago. That's my own approach.)

For people's personal finances, it's a matter of taste which approach to
use. I just mentioned editing an old transaction as another possibility.

There are functions to Cut, Copy, and Paste Transactions... I use them when
I find I have posted a transaction to the wrong credit card account.

Sure -- do data entry in the General Journal rather than in a particular
account register.

[GNC] Automatic population of posting values based on description ACROSS accounts

[Jan via gnucash-user]

Hi everyone:

 

GnuCash "remembers" the description of postings and fills in previous
values, e.g. for account and value. This memory seems to be account
dependent, i.e. postings from one account are not remembered in another. Is
it possible to turn the automatic population of posting values based on
description ACROSS accounts on?

 

Alternatively, is there an easy way to cut a posting out of one account and
put it in another (other than using the Transaction Journal view and
changing the account manually). With Quicken, you could just cut and paste .

  I actually found that info some time ago as well, but it seems not to
  do the trick (for me).
  In the security's account I have the buy transactions (which are taken
  into account by the advanced portfolio template) and also the dividend
  payments in a "neutral" transaction as part of the dividend payment
  transaction. That means that the dividend transaction has multiple
  accounts involved (translated, so terms might not be 100% accurate):
  - "Earnings:Dividends" containing the whole amount I get from the company
  - "Expenses:Taxes" the amount of taxes that was deducted from the above
  - "Assets:ClearingAccount" the amount that remained after the deduction 
 of taxes
  - "Assets:Securities:CompanyXY" just added without any amount

  Is there something I am missing to make it work?

  Best,
  Thomas

Re: [GNC] Advanced Portfolio Template: Population of data with dividends

[Thomas]

Thanks for the clarification Richard!
it seems like the dividends are added in another column that I did not
look into as I always expected to see the dividends in the 'money in'
column.

Thanks to all of your feedback!

Re: [GNC] Advanced Portfolio Template: Population of data with dividends

[David Carlson]

If dividends are reinvested, they do add to the cost basis.  Wouldn't that
be considered "Money In" by the  Advanced Portfolio Report?  Or is it only
"New" money?

I think that the dividend income and security purchase or zero share
security reference split lines need to be in the same transaction for the
APR to assign the dividends to the correct security.  Then, if "Money In"
does include the reinvested dividends, the report should find them.

Re: [GNC] Advanced Portfolio Template: Population of data with dividends

IIRC Tom's suggestion is the key to getting dividends correctly assigned in
the Advanced Portfolio Report.  I cannot find the documentation either, but
there is a lot of information in the Tutorial chapter on investments <

I don't remember where it is in the manual, but add a split to the 
dividend transaction and include the asset account for the stock. You 
shouldn't have to enter any amount for the stock itself unless you are 
reinvesting some or all of the dividend.

[GNC] Advanced Portfolio Template: Population of data with dividends

[Thomas]

Dear User-List,

I successfully populated the advanced portfolio template with most of
the data by selecting of all the accounts of my securities.
What I did not manage to get filled is the "money in" column, to also
include received dividends in the calculations. I tried to add the
accounts with the dividends, but that was not successful.
My question essentially is, how to properly fill the "money in" column
with dividends.

I also tried to decipher the template definition in GitHub, but
unfortunately, I couldn't identify what I would need to do to achieve
my goal.

Version: 4.8
Version-ID: 4.8a+(2021-09-28)

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best,
Thomas

RE: population

[Christine Maloney via gnucash-user]

Hi Maf
I followed your instructions and I am happy I have completely removed the memo 
and it works well now.

Hi Christine,

OK, so if you can see the "memo" boxes, then you are looking at a splits-view 
of the transaction.  That's fine, I shall do the same and tell you exactly what 
I press to enter a new transaction in my bank account register. 

I use auto-split double line as my default view settings, and for this I've got 
Formal Account labels set, which I think you have too.

From the Chart of Accounts view, I double-click to open my bank account 
register, and the view switches to show it.

The Date field of a new transaction is already selected.  I press minus twice 
to enter a transaction from 2 days ago.

TAB -> num field.  Leave blank.   
TAB -> Description field.  Type TestTransaction TAB -> New Row, Notes field. 
Type TestNote (won't be visible in single line
view)
TAB -> New Row, Action field (was num, but the heading has changed) LEave Blank 
TAB -> 1st Memo.  Type test1 TAB -> Account.  Already shows bank account. leave 
it as is.
TAB -> Debit. Leave blank
TAB -> Credit. Type 1.00
TAB -> New Row, Action. leave blank
TAB -> Memo.  Type test2
TAB -> Account. Type Expenses
TAB -> Debit already filled with 1.00. Leave it.
TAB -> Credit. leave blank
TAB -> new row, action, leave blank
ENTER ->  Transaction remains in bank account register in the correct place in 
date order.

what happens if you follow the exact sequence above?  If it differs, please 
explain clearly in terms like above, press such-and-such, click here etc.

If you don't want to see the memo lines, then you'll have to go to the View 
Menu, and select "Basic Ledger", but if you ever need to enter a transaction 
with more than 2 splits, you'll see them anyway (all transactions in GC have at 
least 2 splits (to 2 accounts)).

HTH,
Maf.

Hi,

Only press Enter if you are ready to commit a transaction to the register.  
Tab to move between all the various fields for data.

If you are putting a 1.00 in the memo, then what are you putting in the 
transfer account and Credit/Debit/Deposit/Withdrawal etc columns?

Which version of GC have you installed, so as to be more stable than what you 
had previously?

Maf.

Christine,

 

Windows being Windows, have you rebooted since installing GnuCash?

The tag at the end of your email suggests another possibility: Have you
tried disabling your antivirus program?

 

If neither of those resolves the problem the next test is to create a new
user and try running GnuCash while logged in as the new user. Don't
customize the new user id at all.

It seems that you are the first to report your problem.  That is why the
developers are asking so many questions about details.  Please check the
about gnucash screen and tell them the exact release number and build date.

Yes the date and time are correct on the PC, I have windows 7 home premium. And 
I got the latest I think Gnucash 2017. I wonder if there is a fix for this.

Is the date and time correct on your pc and in other programs/apps 
(clock/calendar) running on your pc ?

13/01/1899 is the exact date. I have downloaded a later version, 2017 and it
is still doing the same. The date range is amended correctly but the report
still does not show it.

Hmm. That's interesting. We don't use the Windows date library at all, so I
don't understand how that could be leaking in to GnuCash, but it's a better
explanation than anything else I can think of.

Christine, what is the *exact* date on the report?

Windows uses 1/1/1900 as the first second of its epoch rather than the
Unix epoch of 1/1/1970.  The year 1899 will sometimes show up if you
feed Windows a zero for epoch seconds (depending on the program it might
also display as January 0, 1900 instead of December 31, 1899, Excel does
this)

Christine,

What version of Outlook are you using as "Reply all" has worked with
Outlook for years - just make sure you either have the ribbon with the
icons at the top displayed and click the envelope icon that has "Reply All"
underneath it (if the icon ribbon is not displayed click the Home menu
which should display the ribbon and then click on Reply All.

Having said that what version of Windows are you running ?

And as John already asked for what version of GnuCash are you running ?

Cheers Dave H.

Christine,

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Reply-to-or-forward-an-email-message-2d7a77e7-b55d-4921-9c8a-d04b4c70c5a7

 has instructions for forwarding and replying to messages.If I misunderstand 
and you know how to reply all but outlook is ignoring you when you use the 
"reply all" button then you can just type "gnucash-user@gnucash.org 
<mailto:gnucash-user@gnucash.org>" into the "CC" header.

What version of GnuCash are you using? I think we might have seen this problem 
a year or two ago.

John Ralls

Christine,

Please remember to copy the list on all replies (reply all works well for most 
users). Please also bottom-post.

The date range is selected on the general tab of report options. You'll find a 
convenient button in the report toolbar for opening that dialog.

1899 is a weird value. Have you set an accounting period?

Regards,
John Ralls

Hello

Whenever I try and get a report for the trial balance it produces itself
without being populated with amounts although all the accounts are there.
Could you let me know what I am doing wrong please.

Thank you

Christine
