Re: [GNC] Should GNUCash allow a split to reference the same account twice

Just to add one more instance, the business features, regularly do this, when entering a bill or invoice. 10 items on an invoice/bill could correspond to as many as 10 different income/expense accounts, or as few as one. Once the transaction has been posted, (one transaction per

Re: [GNC] Reconciliation Dates

John, Only because when I see an old date, I think I missed reconciling the account and I'm OCD enough that I want the date to be current. Just to show how OCD I am, I created a new parent placeholder account and moved the subaccounts, then I deleted the original parent placeholder account.

Re: [GNC] Income Statement versus Transaction Report

See https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797796. It has a long and detailed discussion about handling foreign-currency investments. CDB-Man is a licensed accountant practicing in Vancouver, BC. My take-away from that discussion is that GnuCash has painted itself into a corner by not

Re: [GNC] Should GNUCash allow a split to reference the same account twice

There are many situations where that can legitimately happen-- for example, when you have two charges contributing to a particular total (think of a paycheck with income from base salary and income from bonuses). Your want to see each listed separately, even though they combine to one final

[GNC] "Mod" field in GNUCash log file

I'm trying to sort out a baffling data problem with GNUCash and I'm looking at the logs.   I can get most of it, thanks to the column name record at the start, but 1. What do '=START" and "=END" signify?  2. What is the "mod" field (field #1); I see values of 'B', 'C', and

[GNC] Should GNUCash allow a split to reference the same account twice

Earlier today my wife was running GNUCash to update "her" bit of the accounts and got into a serious tangle because she (inadvertently) changed a newly-imported transaction so that its two splits -- which should have been our current account and her credit card account -- both referred to the

Re: [GNC] Income Statement versus Transaction Report

Ah. Interesting conundrum. Many moons ago that there was issue with some of the code for the various price options in reports. I don't recall the details, but I seem to remember that 'average' was thought to be the most accurate at the time, and there was discussion of removing the other
