Re: [GNC] GnuCash: What scheduled transactions can't do

It seems to me that the OP is running up against the fact that GnuCash has always been focused on Real, rather than Potential, transactions, since it follows a more strict accounting perspective. Users encounter this with Scheduled transactions; they encounter it with budgets; they encounter it

Re: [GNC] Scheduled Transactions Window Sorting

Adrien M, Are you able to sort transactions in the Since Last Run dialog as well as in the Scheduled Transactions Editor? Are they still sorted the same way the next time that you open the Scheduled Transactions Editor? I think there may be some confusion about when the stickiness arises. I

Would it be possible to rework the Future Scheduled Transactions Summary report to display the scheduled transactions? On Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 4:15 PM Michael or Penny Novack < stepbystepf...@comcast.net> wrote: > > > If you mean in number 1 that there's no way to specify a future exchange >

Re: [GNC] GnuCash: What scheduled transactions can't do

If you mean in number 1 that there's no way to specify a future exchange rate, that's correct. ROFL If it were possible for gnucash to CORRECTLY predict what exchange rates will be at some future date then I wouldn't be using it just to automate my bookkeeping. I'd be using it to make a

Re: [GNC] Entering Share Purchase/Sale

You don't change it in the Security Editor -- it is changed in the account. (Right-click on the account, and select Edit to bring up the options). I don't have GnuCash up at the moment, but from memory, the account type is in the lower left area. On Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 9:00 AM Rajesh Maini

Re: [GNC] Entering Share Purchase/Sale

No, that's a great explanation... When I have the account set as a stock or mutual fund, it has the additional columns for shares and price. On Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 8:41 AM xboxboy.mageia+GnuCash < xboxboy.mageia+gnuc...@gmail.com> wrote: > I went through something similar only a while back: >

Re: [GNC] GnuCash: What scheduled transactions can't do

Hi John: Thanks for the quick response! I don't need a future exchange rate for my scheduled posting, any exchange rate will do. So I experimented a little more and it turns out that I CAN schedule a payment from a non-USD (the primary currency) account after all. Only when I use the checkbox

Re: [GNC] Entering Share Purchase/Sale

Installing Finance::Quote isn't a prerequisite for anything except retrieving quotes from some online services. "Share" seems like an unlikely name for a security, but whatever. What problem did you have creating the security? BTW, xboxboy misled you a bit: Your share account must have a

Re: [GNC] GnuCash: What scheduled transactions can't do

For some things I can't get Gnucash to do I just export transactions to CSV and then use Excel (and Power Query if needed) to get info in form I want it to be. I don't know whether scheduled items can be exported or not because I haven't set up any (I know what it is about, I just don't need

I just wish to thank everyone for their help again. I've successfully entered 35+ years!! of dividends, franking credits, left over credits, and dividend re-investments, name changes, and takeovers for one of my long term stocks. It all balances perfectly (couple hiccups along the way, but I

Hi guys: I'm still relatively new to GnuCash (after decades of extensive Quicken usage) and want to make sure that what two things I couldn't do with GnuCash really can't be done: 1. No option to schedule future transaction if an exchange rate is involved - workaround manual
