I'm not sure what you mean when you say "documentation," but I don't think the
Guide or the Help would be appropriate places to make such references. Section
2.1 of the Guide gives a few basic explanations on underlying accounting

Mike,
Gnucash can import a single amount column with deposits as negative amounts and
withdrawals as positive amounts without any problem. You may have to experiment
with whether to apply the Deposits or Withdrawals header to that data column
depending on how the bank has used the signs, to get a
I tried this myself and the positive dollars in the amount column does indeed
go to the deposit column in gnucash and the negative dollars number goes into
the withdraw column. I should also add the test account I used set up is a Type

"Double Entry" is an accounting method that makes it more difficult to make
mistakes that cannot be easily found and corrected during the process of
data entry. You don't actually see the 'other side' later unless you
deliberately look for it. It is not at all odd, in fact it is universally
used
Is that open banking platform a different way to get a list of
transactions? If so, how does it work?

I had used Quicken for only about 10 years when I changed over to GnuCash.
I just didn't bother to import anything (it didn't work at the time
anyway). I just kept Quicken data ending in year "X" and started fresh with
GnuCash in year "X+1". If I needed something from before X+1, I brought up

The data file (files) are the key thing. I recently updated both my iMac
(new machine) and my Linux box (disk wipe and re-install). The data files I
used are stored on my home NAS, so that all computers can see the file.
I did notice that I lost the reports, but since I didn't have many of them,
New versions generally come out once a quarter.

Wow... I would have thought, if one kept a balance at Paypal, it would be
relatively easy to see the balances... of course, one would need to see the
transactions as well.

I agree that rather than trying to include Accounting 101 in the GnuCash

Hi Deborah and welcome to Gnucash.
When posting, always include your OS and current version of Gnucash as it
matters and we don't want to be making too many assumptions and also what
your new pc OS is.

Hi Steve,
As Michael suggested, it is best to start with baby steps to learn how to
get good results with the import process. If you import more than one
account at a time you risk getting duplicates if both accounts in a
transaction are in the same import. There is a step in the import process

To each their own, but that seems like lots of work.
You can cancel a reconciliation once started, so if you discover
transactions are missing, and can't find the data, just start over later
when you do.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the issue?

Given the length of this thread and the apparent confusion documenting
