That explains something I have always wondered about. I often have transactions that are in US dollars in one account and Mexican pesos in the other account. It expressed the exchange rate as a fraction, but a decimal value would be more useful. Now I know how to change that. Thanks, Will On

[GNC] Fractional Hours?

2020-06-22 Thread Andrew Clark
I generated an invoice last month for 85.50 hours. Weirdly, the invoice shows this as 171/2. [image: invoice.png] I'm running version 3.10+(2020-04-11) on Debian and I haven't changed any settings that I know of. How do I get decimal hours back on my tax invoices? -- Cheers, Andrew.

James, I’ll tackle a few of those for you. (not necessarily by your same point list) First - 2.4 is several versions old. You’ll need to first install something from 2.6 (the next major version after 2.4), open your data file with it, and perform Check & Repair. Repeat this for one of the 3.x

Hello, So I successfully used gnucash for a small S-corp, from 2012, thru 2017(September). Then several concurrent/random illnesses sidelined my gnucash usage. The small s corp trudged along and I did manage to get tax returns file (both S and personal) but the 100-200 transactions per year

Zi, Welcome to GnuCash! The answer is ‘yes, sort of’. While it doesn’t have an explicit class facility, you can make up your own tagging and filtering system. Specific to your example, each transaction can have multiple splits, that isn’t an issue at all. Each split has a ‘memo’ line where

While there is no official ‘class’ or ’tag’ facility, you can still accomplish this somewhat. You can do searches on any text located in any text field, Description, Memo, Notes, Action, Num, etc. Thus you can create your own tagging system using # or @ if you like. (or any other symbol or

Zi, Welcome to the world of GnuCash. As a user of GnuCash for nearly 15 years, I can tell you that it's a feature-rich application with a great user community. Unfortunately, "classes" is not one of those features. It has been discussed for as long as I can remember (e.g.,
