Accessible? Sure. Always visible in the same location as their regular file

them hidden so the user isn’t confused.
I still don’t see ANY other software dumping backups or log files into my data

seems to be happy a

Norbert,
If the vegetables, fruits and handicrafts that you buy are purchased for resale
as your inventory, then yes, you can and should, use one account to track them.
(not by quantity, but by value)
Because you are also a manufacturer, you might also have a ‘work-in-progress’
account at leas
I too believe this is a good idea, just like several others:

Jeff,
Buying inventory is not an expense transaction. It’s an asset acquisition. (or
rather, shift)
See my other reply to the original question.
A purchase of inventory looks like this:
Dr. Assets:Current Assets:Inventory $100
Cr. Assets:Current Assets:Cash $100

Bert,
I posted some more replies in the original thread containing various inventory
related transaction examples and suggested accounts.
Let me know if you need anything specific that isn’t covered and I’ll see what
I can do.

This issue must have come up before. The wiki could ideally use some discussion

Hi all,
For tax purposes non-cash donations of goods and services are deductible.
I would like to track those as an account (or off-setting accounts) in

Matt,
Perhaps you are misunderstanding.
I’m not describing any integration between inventory and Gnucash.
Gnucash is an accounting application.
It can handle lots of situations without special features.
Inventory is just one of them.
Anything I’ve posted is just a regurgitation of accounting
That was quick, you answered your own question with a recommendation from an
accountant in 3 minutes. (at least by my clock)
I’m curious for a clarification.
Does your accountant mean to expense the non-cash goods and services provided
at once?
Or to hold these as deferred and expense them as
