[GNC] csv export via terminal in Ubuntu
Hello everybody, I'm looking for a way to start the csv export via terminal command. Are there solutions to work around the GUI? Or is it possible to convert all accounts and bookings directly from a .gnucash file to a .csv file per terminal?

Re: [GNC] V2.6.19 XML Only File Format
See https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/basics-files1.html for details of setting up database backends. Basically it is just File ->Save As and then select the option you require provided you have the database systems installed and have the necessary permissions to create a database. This does require GnuCash to have been built with database support. This is the default and should be present, but it is really in the hands of the distribution packagers. If they have compiled GnuCash with the default settings you should be OK.

Re: [GNC] Struggling with Quicken import
I have given up trying to create an account structure and then populating it. Instead I exported one account with transactions of a limited date range and imported it into GnuCash. I got further this time. The import created the accounts from the Quicken account/categories, showed the matches for editing and things were looking pretty good, but the actual import failed and told me there was a problem with the import. No indication of what the problem was. I looked at the only log I could find but it was not helpful, at least there were no error indicators. I don't know how to troubleshoot this. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Struggling with Quicken import
That is a fair interpretation, since that's what the wiki says. However, it would appear that the wiki is in need of some correction. I'm not sure, but that wiki language may have resulted from a writer's misunderstanding of the different import vectors, with one writer assuming that account structures would be manually entered, while another assumed that it could happen via an import. It may also be that the importer logic changed, but that is less likely. David T. On February 13, 2019, at 2:25 AM, dmacklewis wrote: No, Quicken does not have the CSV option.

Re: [GNC] Struggling with Quicken import
If you are in a mood to experiment you could try exporting as qif a limited date range of a month or so from the bank account in Quicken that should match the account you have already set up in Gnucash both with and without the account tree. Then try importing both. That might at least get all the accounts and categories that exist in those transactions.

Re: [GNC] Struggling with Quicken import
Does Quicken offer the option to export just the account tree as a CSV? You can import an account tree into GnuCash if it is in the proper CSV format. This is a fixed format, you can’t map the columns so you’ll need to likley modify the Quicken export to conform before importing.

The question here is posted to ‘payables’ and ‘what else?’ Every transaction must have (at least) two splits. In the paper world, a cash-basis entity would not even enter any transaction for a received bill until it is paid.(their ‘payables’ would be kept separate from the actual books) What would need to happen in GnuCash is the option to mark a bill as ‘cash basis’ when entering it. This would set the posting date as the date it is paid, but still allow the ‘due reminder’ to fire, and GC would have to maintain a separate list of ‘due bills’ from A/P since it technically can’t be entered there.

They are part of the bill and that is the only place you can edit it. This is for safety. You could make a mess if you were able to edit portions of a bill, outside of the bill itself. If you really need to edit a bill that is posted, you have to first un-post it. But beware that even though you can put dates on line items, those do not affect posting or transaction dates. The entire bill gets a single posting date of your choosing. Those line item dates are merely reference for you or your customer. (if speaking of invoices) Again, having all four quarters show up in one year being ‘right’ depends on your situation. If this is merely a ‘payment plan’ then it is correct. The entire bill is owed now, and thus is an expense in its entirety, now, but they allow you to pay it over 4 quarters. If you were to sell the property mid-way, who does the town legally think owes the taxes? But by all means, speak to a local CPA to get a definitive answer on how to book this. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Can't delete security
Thanks for the tip(s)! I had forgotten that GC automatically creates a "Trading" account. After deleting that and the inital price ntry created by the first transaction, I could delete the security.

Re: [GNC] accrual of property tax payments
Thanks, Derek. The issue has been around for years, I guess. Looking at invoices, for a cash basis user the invoice should get posted to payables when received and the payable is reversed to expense on the date the payment is actually made. For an accrual basis user the expense could be posted immediately to the (past, present, or future) "due date". If it's in the future it won't show up in current P, which is correct. I found that I could not edit the dates on the expense transactions that were created by the business logic, so all 4 quarters show up as expenses on the day I posted the invoice. That doesn't seem right in anyone's world. But the invoice logic is overkill for me. I'll go back to scheduled transactions. For my purposes scheduling 4 transactions is fine.

I think the easiest is to start from the account register in which the transactions appear. Then apply a filter to this register and finally choose Reports->Account Report.

I just peeked at Quicken 2019 and they also have a QXF file format which does not work for GnuCash either. I did not have time to figure out what they do use that format for.

Re: [GNC] transaction imported do not show up
Do not overlook the possibility that you may be looking in the wrong file for the fresh data. Usually it is easiest to employ a file manager to look for data files that have the correct name and recent date stamps.

[GNC] Can't delete security
Because of the well-known difficulties associated with assigning the correct currency to a security, I need to delete and recreate a security. I have deleted the initial transaction I created for this security, as well as the investment account I created for the transaction. Nonetheless, when I try to "Remove" the security from the "Security Editor", I get the message: "That commodity is currently used by at least one of your accounts. You may not delete it." I am using GnuCash 2.6.19 running under Ubuntu Studio 18.04 How can I correct this? ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

It’s not possible to use Cmd-back-apostrophe to switch between two windows opened by the same instance of GC - this was present in 2.6.. versions too - so it’s necessary to click on the other window to give it focus. In 2.6… any part of the window could be clicked, so it was possible to enter new transactions during a reconciliation (for example). I’ve found that in 3.4 it’s necessary to click the Title Bar. Clicking the content of a window brings it to the front, but leaves it largely unresponsive. Switching to the account being reconciled in this way makes it impossible to edit the date of a new transaction, but possible to enter the rest. Switching back to the Reconciliation Window by clicking on the content leaves the window unresponsive, with the tick marks for already-reconciled transactions greyed out. In the short term, there is a simple work-around - always click on the Title Bar. It’s not clear whether this change from 2.6… arises from a change in the GC code itself, or in the window management code it uses.

Re: [GNC] Problem after upgrade from 2.6.14 to 3.x, bookings of an account are cut off
Hello, does anyone have suggestions how to trace the fault further? even if I launch gnucash with "gnucash --log "=debug" --log "gnc.backend.dbi=debug" --log "qof=debug" --log "gnc=debug", I do not get anything on STDOUT or STDERR.. Logs are by default written to https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile. Use --logto=foo to change that; stdout and stderr are special values of foo that do what you'd expect, otherwise foo is expected to be a file path. I just figured that out.. but first of all the problem: in the account/bookings view gnucash shows me only entries until a specific date. all newer and newly created bookings are not being shown. But there are bookings in the MySQL (respecitvely MariaDB) databases. I see there all corresponding transactions and splits. the corresponding bookings in the other accounts are shown. I migrated to 3.x by exporting the book into xml, but in this file(s) the contents are already missing. I have a backup of the database (which worked fine until gnucash 2.6.14. But if I open that database using gnucash 3.3 or 3.4 those data are not shown. currently: Version: 3.4 Build ID: 3.4+ (2018-12-30) Finance::Quote: 1.47 using the command-line option --debug doesn't show any database related information or exceptions. As a first guess you have a filter set. Select View>Filter By... and make sure that "Show All" is selected on the date tab. In fact that was he cause... I already invested 2 days in the last month, loooking for errors, trying to restore database backups... Thank you very much... I didn't note that word "Filtered" on top right.
