Note too that there are some 'defined' register colors. The example CSS files linked from the wiki should at least illustrate these. (though I don't think there is much 'documentation' on them, their names should be self-explanatory) I'll dig into my own CSS file to see if I adjusted that tab-

You can certainly create 'Other Liabilities' or 'Provisional Liabilities' under the main 'Liabilities' account, as you see fit. I'd create that as a placeholder-parent, and then create a separate account for the specific liability 'owner'. (or whatever description/name makes sense) This prac

You'd need to ask the accountant at *least* two questions. (more will arise, I'm sure) 1) where in the CoA does/should this 'provisions' account reside? 2) how do you determine its balance? (what other accounts affect it?) Note, it is certainly possible in accounting (and in GnuCash) to track a
