Re: [GNC] Transaction Report

[GNC] Reconciling credit card
Hi, I am sure this is explained somewhere, but I haven't been able to find a simple explanation. I have a register of transactions in an a/c called credit card. I enter the data from the monthly statement, allocating them to various expenses and enter the monthly payment from a bank account. [In my naivety]?? I assumed that when I enter the monthly payment the a/c will reflect the 'net' situation, i.e. the balance of current transactions less the latest payment. I seemed to be motoring along ok until a while ago when everything in the balance column ended up -ve!! Typically a se of entries looked like this - but now it looks like this - Obviously I have been doing something wrong or have created an error. But what??

[GNC] Installing or updating Finance::Quote
I've started this thread separately from "[GNC] getting price quotes" (from which I gained helpful advice last week), as it's a more specific problem I now face. Following the advice from David H and others last week, I eventually decided to upgrade from GC version 3.5 to 4.12, in the hope that it would automatically install the latest version of Finance::Quote and enable me to resume downloading stock prices again. I'm using Windows 10 and the previously installed version of F::Q was 1.47, which had worked without problems until the first week of November. The upgrade to GC v4.12 turned out to be more straightforward than I'd previously feared, but I then found that F::Q was still on 1.47, and attempts to update or run "Install OnlinePrice Retrieval for Gnucash" from the Start menu have been unsuccessful, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a solution. I should add that, prior to the GC update, I installed the latest version of Strawberry Perl (v5.32.1), after first removing the previous version (v5.18.2).

Re: [GNC] Transaction Report << offline >>
I solved my problem. I created a new TYPE bank account named it expense. Imported all my transactions from the TYPE A/payable account that was causing my issue to the new TYPE bank account expense. When I did the import the dollar amount import went in as a credit/withdraw. Created transaction report with two accounts: My Type bank income and My Type bank expense. Set reverse option to credit accounts. I now have all the transactions in the expense account that show as a negative dollars and the total of them as a negative dollars. I may not be using GNUCash the correct way but it works for my needs. My intent was to set the two accounts sort of like a checking account. All my deposits would go to income account and all my withdrawals would come out of my expense account. Since the expense account started with a zero balance it would always have a negative balance that would continue to grow as transactions where added as credit/withdrawal. Since the income account started with a zero balance it would always have a positive balance that would continue to grow as transactions where added as debit/deposit. The transaction report was to simply show all the expense transactions and all the income transactions, and then to show the Grand Total as Income minus Expense ( i.e balance) Thanks Everyone For the help provided Joe -Original Message- From: Michael or Penny Novack Sent: Friday, December 9, 2022 10:31 AM To: rov...@comcast.net Subject: Re: [GNC] Transaction Report << offline >> On 12/8/2022 6:33 PM, rov...@comcast.net wrote: > Michael, >Hope this explains it better > > > There are two accounts in the transaction report > > Expense Type A/Payable > IncomeType Bank > Some fundamentals of double entry accounting. Take a MUCH harder look at "Income Type Bank". Part of your problem is with the "subtypes" being allowed (both by standard accounting and gnucash. There are only three FUNDAMENTAL types, Asset, Liability, and Equity. The other types will actually be under one of those. In this case you have A/P and Bank. Bank would be under Assets. A/P under Liabilities. Neither is of type Income or Expense. When you purchased each item or otherwise incurred the expense that transaction was a debit to the particular expense and a credit to A/P. The normal balance of a liability is credit, so you were INCREASING pour payables balance. When you paid each of these using the bank card that was a debit to A/P (reduces the temporary debt) and a credit to the bank account (reduces the bank account balance). Nothing to do with any expenses, you bought with debt and now you are paying that debt off (transfer between asset and liability) Your choice to use +/1 as your senses rather than debit/credit. Michael D Novack PS -- please note, even if you are creating the payable and immediately paying the bill in the logical sense still two transaction. Doing it in one means not using A/P so will not show in A/P totals, which I assume is what you want. But do note in a larger business,might be two people doing this, a "purchase clerk" ordering things for the company and creating bills to be paid and somebody else trusted with the company bank account doing the actual paying. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

There are literally dozens of IRC clients out there to choose from. If you care about Matrix, then I suggest you contact them about it; it was working before, so I'm sure they can make it work again. We have no control over such third-party integrations. While we do have a channel registered over at libera, it is not actively monitored, logged, or maintained at this time, so using it is completely at your own risk. -derek On Fri, December 9, 2022 9:20 am, JokerGermany wrote: > Looks like you can join as Matrix user anymore because irc.gimp.org > isn't bridged to matrix? =( > > Am Dienstag, dem 29.11.2022 um 15:47 -0800 schrieb John Ralls: >> The Gnome infrastructure team has changed the alias for irc.gnome.org >> from irc.gimp.org to irc.libera.chat.

Since the expense account started with a zero balance it would always have a negative balance that would continue to grow as transactions where added as credit/withdrawal. It is not so much using gnucash (in particular) the wrong way as not doing double entry bookkeeping properly. It means that most helper folks here will not be able to help you. We won't be able to answer questions like the one with which you began "why is this negative?" a) Using an app like gnucash to partially automate double entry bookkeeping does not mean that you can skip learning the fundamentals of double entry bookkeeping << those who learned the old way, pen and ink on paper, first entering in the journal and then posting to the ledger accounts will know what is being automated >> You will be far better off in the long run not skipping the "fundamentals". b) Somebody like myself, having learned in the old days doing bookkeeping by hand, can utilize gnucash in unorthodox ways. And I do that sometimes. But I know how that will affect what report now means what, etc. Not to be recommended until you really know what you are doing.

But I asked another question the other day, and was told that vendor reports (or similar wording / implications) we possible if one went via Accounts Payable. Can you generate reports for specific vendors with your system?

I have not tried reconciling PayPal yet. That looks to be tricky, as you can not go back and see the balance at some time in the past. I would be interested to hear from others about this.

[GNC] URGENT: Fake gnucash website with fake download, most likely compromised file
I just typed gnucash in google and the first hit was an ad pointing to gnu-cash.org (with a dash). It is a fake site that is a carbon copy of the official site but the download link goes to a setup.exe that is most likely a corrupted virus file. We need this removed ASAP. There is an option in google to report the site and mark it as spam/phishing. I imagine if more people do this it will get removed faster hopefully. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Installing or updating Finance::Quote
Hi Alan It looks like the install has failed for some reason as the modules should be under: C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\ The entries under "perl\vendor" are not related to Finance::Quote and are irrelevant. I suggest that you try to install it again. The installation can be a bit fiddly as there are a number of dependencies, and some modules take a while. You can do this with the GnuCash installer. Open a command prompt as administrator and type:- perl C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update Or directly by downloading from here:- https://metacpan.org/pod/Finance::Quote Good luck!

I should add that, prior to the GC update, I installed the latest version of Strawberry Perl (v5.32.1), after first removing the previous version (v5.18.2).

Re: [GNC] URGENT: Fake gnucash website with fake download, most likely compromised file

I don't see that ad when I search Google for gnucash; when I type https://www.gnu-cash.org/ into my browser's address bar I'm taken to a page titled "Dot Com Inovations"[sic] with a heading "October 20, 2022" and nothing at all about GnuCash. Not that there would be anything we could do about it if it did exist.

Re: [GNC] Buying with PayPal - how do I split the transaction?
David I treat my Paypal account as a Liability account, just as you would treat purchases with a credit card. Mine is linked to a bank account from which funds are automatically transferred to keep the balance in the PayPal account at 0. ( I no longer accept payments through it and only use it for purchases). I also don't use the business features anymore. To use the business features, so you have the vendor record, I would have a separate PayPal Liability account. On purchase record the bill to credit Accounts payable and debit the appropriate expense account as normal. To record PayPal paying the vendor, debit the Accounts Payable and credit the Paypal Liability, essential make a payment from the Paypal Liability account. I don't know if the account checking on the business features payment process will prevent this or not. Then to record the transfer of funds from your bank account to Paypal credit the bank account and debit the Paypal liability account.

Re: [GNC] [GNC-dev] URGENT: Fake gnucash website with fake download, most likely compromised file
You need to go to the main.php page link to see the fake site. Full link is https://gnu-cash.org/main.php or possibly https://www.gnu-cash.org/main.php Google ads are location and search history dependent so might not show up everywhere. Google has a separate tool to report phishing sites. But make sure you report the whole URL with the main.php https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en That said the https://gnu-cash.org/main.php doesn't seem to work in incognito mode nor on microsft edge.

Re: [GNC] [GNC-dev] URGENT: Fake gnucash website with fake download, most likely compromised file
OK sorry for the flood of email but as of 4:05PM US Pacific time the ad is no longer showing for me either. So possibly already removed via my report and others. As for the actual site there is nothing we can do, the important thing is that it doesn't show up on Google. No trace of it on Bing either. So I think we are good for now.

That's good news. Possibly the whole site is now blocked upstream and I am just seeing a cached version on my side. It would explain why I also get a blank page in incognito mode and Edge.

[GNC] Overflow menus in invoices/bills not working in latest release on MacOS Ventura
I’ve not poked at it very long, but what I’m experiencing is if the window isn’t wide enough (my normal practice) there appears a menu on the right of the toolbar with (typically) one or more of Post, Unpost, Pay - possibly more. Normal behaviour is that I can select any of these by pulling down on this menu. What I’m seeing is that the menu appears (with the little triangle), and I can pull down the menu, but the items in the menu don’t get shaded, and clicking on them only causes the menu to disappear. This may be the case when not using invoices/bills, but I generally keep the window wide enough to avoid running out of icon space. (I’m currently at home and can’t test this without upgrading the OS on my personal machine, which isn’t an M1 anyhow, so it wouldn’t be a perfect reproduction). There was a recent thread about having to click more than once for some things to work, and I’m wondering whether this is just another manifestation of the same thing. I just installed the latest version of GnuCash on a shiny new Mac (M1 chip), with the latest version of OSX (13, Ventura). ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Buying with PayPal - how do I split the transaction?
Michael You are right but I just find it convenient to reconcile the Paypal account against my statement from them and my bank account against the statement from the bank, rather than having to find the payments to Paypal in my bank account records. I could just as easily use an asset account with reversed debit credits of course. My bank account records don't have a description of the purchase whereas the Paypal records do. Makes it easier to select the appropriate expense account to assign a particular purchase. The additional work in maintaining the Paypal account offsets any extra work in having to match the amounts in the bank records to receipts to identify the appropriate expense account. I was assuming David Kirby was wanting to use the business features to maintain a trail to the vendors On Fri, 2022-12-09 at 20:19 -0500, Michael or Penny Novack wrote: > On 12/9/2022 7:01 PM, David Cousens wrote: > > > > I treat my Paypal account as a Liability account, just as you would treat > > purchases with a credit card.

Re: [GNC] Overflow menus in invoices/bills not working in latest release on MacOS Ventura
Um, on macOS there aren't supposed to be menus on the window, they go on the menubar at the top of the screen. If it's too wide macOS is supposed to make room for it by hiding as many of the "menubar extra" icons on the right side. So is there somewhere that I've missed setting up the integration to put the menus on the menubar or are you using a self-built GnuCash? Regards, John Ralls > On Dec 9, 2022, at 5:02 PM, R.

Re: [GNC] Overflow menus in invoices/bills not working in latest release on MacOS Ventura
John, It sounds like Victor is describing the ToolBar overflow 'menu'. I can get this menu when I narrow my window width such that icons would be 'off window' to the right. But I can't reproduce the behavior described. My overflow entries appear to work properly.
