Together with alle the previous posts this final explanation helped a lot.
I finally feel equipped to start building my own scheme or know where to add my
own accounts to the existing logic of GnuCash.
Thanks to Frank, Adrien, David and Liz!

Frank,
I think the term Balans accounts will refer to Assets , Liability and Equity
accounts while Gain and Loss accounts will refer to Income and Expense
accounts.
In accounting the latter are known as temporary accounts as they record the
income and expenses for the current accounting period a
I forgot to add that you may not ever need the Retained Earnings account.
GnuCash can calculate this figure at any time with an Income Statement (P&L)
Report as ’Net Profit/Loss’
If you desire to ‘close the books’ (not necessary) then that amount will get
put into a Retained Earnings account an
You can assign account numbers in GnuCash. Accounts can be parents with child
(sub) accounts and those parents can also be placeholders. (you can’t put
transactions in them if they are placeholders, only in the sub-accounts)
For the other question, this sounds like Equity:Retained Earnings in En
Did not have time to rest all in GnuCash but I am very happy with the
discussion and all the suggestions and clearifications.
One question might help me even further: my old program made structure by
numbering all accounts and keeping record what group or subgroup the entries
are part or if th
Frank,
I had realised that was likely the situation. Fortunately, with the
occasional exception or two, most standards would have been converging
towards the IFRS in the core requirements prior to adoption, if they weren't
completely compliant.

As christopher and Adrien have commented, GnuCash is forgiving in that if
you have assigned an account to a specific type, you can easily change the
type of an account and the account types are used for specific
functionality, not just in GnuCash but in accounting in general. The

There are a few other limitations.
The Business Features restrict certain account selections for various functions
based on type. (what you can post line items to, what you can post entire
bills/invoices to, what accounts are available to make payments from, etc.)

Otherwise you're right, you can tweak any account-type at leisure within
limits eg can't change currency-type account to stock-type account;
subaccounts of Asset/Liability/Income/Expense are limited according to the
parent-type.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions!!!
Very happy but not sue yet if it really got clear yet.
Now I wonder:
Does it really matter that much what type I use for a new account? And could I
change this Type as I find out I was wrong or think an other might be more
convenient? As long as I put
Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Hi Adrien,
part of the confusion might be:
Frank asked for the account type to create a few, which you tried to answer.
I saw, the requested accounts were already defined in the template and
referenced the group containing them, not the type itself.

I did ask my question in the dutch mailing list but it does not seem to be very
busy there :-(
I did start of with the GrootboekSchema 1.1 but this list has no clear types
for these 4 accounts:
>> 2 Tussenrekeningen (suspense accounts?)
One example is “Kruisposten”
Hello Frank,
I had hoped one of the native speakers had answered, but it seems they
are currently all in their caravans. ;-)
How about using the Referentie GrootboekSchema, versie 1.1, which we
are shipping with Gnucash?
You should see it after downgrading your Gnucash Mac version as

Dear GnuCash friends,
I want to switch from an old accounting program to GnuCash and the first
requirement is to set up a good accounting plan.
Now I know what I used for years and also what is used as standard in the
Netherlands, but how does that match the format that GnuCash uses? Who helps
