Re: [GNC] Real Estate property-segregated costs tracking

This question applies to various business models where you need to track revenue and expenses by 'entity' or 'project'. GnuCash does not have an analogy to 'classes' as an extra dimension for reporting or tracking purposes. There are various alternatives: 1. Use a spreadsheet or alternative

Re: [GNC] Exporting Data

Rogier, Have to agree with Adrien and David Carlson that redoing everything from Dec2020 is the hard way to fix the problem. If you can identify the transaction(s) which were incorrect at that time and then fix then they will be unreconciled but will appear in the reconciliation window panes at t

[GNC] Real Estate property-segregated costs tracking

Does anyone use GnuCash to keep track of wholesaling/flipping of Real Estate properties? In Quickbooks this is done by entering each property as a 'class', as described here . I have been struggling trying to find a way to accomp

[GNC] Reports, how to use

Have copy Gnucash/saved-reports-2.4-backup & Gnucash/saved-reports-2.4 from before, had to replace computer due to age & not being able to access spreadsheets after upgrade, had to downgrade for that to work. How can I now use the backup files? OK I am an end user using pop-OS Linux 20.04? Chuck598

Re: [GNC] Exporting Data

First: File > Export > Export Account Tree in CSV is what you were looking for. Second: if you have a backup as of 12/31/20 then make it your current file and start 2021 over again. I've never had to do this, so not sure if the reconcile column flag is in the transaction CSV, but I suspect i

Re: [GNC] Exporting Data

Usually GnuCash will allow any change to previous transactions, although some are more difficult if they reside in accounts marked hidden or placeholder, which may require extra steps or voided transactions also need to be unvoided. Almost the only thing that cannot be undone would ba a transactio

Re: [GNC] Correcting reconciles

David, It seems reasonable to me that if the information on a transaction is changed, particularly dates and amounts, that any splits reconciled in another account would be unreconciled to force checking that they remain correctly reconciled. I generally note if other reconciled accounts are aff

Uncheck: Preferences > Register > Reconciling > 'Check Cleared Transactions' I have this turned on, because if I've 'cleared' them in the register, I already know they are correct and reported by the institution. Thus I'd only have non-cleared transactions left to reconcile, saving me time. I

There is the function to edit 'all periods' for a particular account at a time. (on the toolbar, and in the Edit menu) Of course this isn't just 'to the right' but for all periods in the budget. There is not an easy way I can see to copy an entire period to others. And of course there is the '

[GNC] Exporting Data

If I want to redo a year, is the only way to redo it to export the data and set it up all over again? Or is there another way of rolling back all my reconciliations. Reason is, I seem to have a corruption in my last December (2020), and there appears to be no way to fix it, so it seems I have to

Re: [GNC] Correcting reconciles

Mahon, A few comments from a largely accounting perspective. If your previous reconciliations have been correct, then the opening balance in GnuCash should be exactly the same as the opening balance in your external statement. If it is not, a previous reconciliation is incorrect and there is no po

Thank you for that pointer. The puzzling part is that the quote source for all my securities is yahoo_json but the 'Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:' window is popping up for only mutual funds randomly, so far. I am not discounting the fact that you are very likely to be right that sour

Sounds like he is using docker to build a 20.04 LTS container (matching his target OS), so that he might be able to "ninja install" in the container, and obtain code that could be installed outside of docker. docker here is being used for a backport environment. I'm not a gnucash developer, but g

Yes, git pull updates what you already have. There's a lot to git and it can quickly become confusing, but to just build gnucash you don't really need to know much about it. In simple terms, it is a database that records changes to files/code. Making an analogy to gnucash, each git commit is like a

David, Thanks for the heads up on the git pull, I guess that just updates what I've already got? Git is all new to me as well so I'll have to do some reading up on it and I'll keep an eye out on the wiki for the details. Thanks again for doing this, it's actually nudged me enough to try building
