I recently imported 20 years of financial data. The issue I'm facing is
that marking an account as hidden doesn't remove the balance from the
total of the higher level accounts. Such that only active (unhidden)
accounts are reflected in totals. Being accustom to Quicken that did
have this featu
I would have expected a closed account to have a zero balance.

No not all have zero balances. However, Quicken allows the account to be
treated as if that is the case. It seems the hidden function in GNUcash
doesn't function the same way.

Sounds like a bug or mis-feature in quicken to me. I think I'd prefer that my
accounts package didn't hide money from me.
Seriously, though thinking about it for a second, what financial institution
would allow you to close an account you held with them and leave a running
balance for the rest
It's a nice way to handle joint accounts that are no longer joint yet open.
Also, for handling very old accounts not reconciled that are closed. Plus
during the import process from Quicken lots of transactions were removed
from accounts. For example, anything that says cash or salary. As you all

If they are accounts that no longer have any value (monetarily I mean) but
when you look at the account it says it has a value then your accounts are
in error. Add a transaction to bring the value to zero.

Actually, it looks like Geert fixed this already in GIT.

I have been playing with the gnucash flatpak package in the last few days.
And I can add some information regarding the file open issues (though not
everything is clear yet).
For starters I can confirm that by default USB sticks and network shares are
not accessible. I have fouind this is due t

If you control those funds, certainly you wouldn’t want to hide them.
If you don’t control the funds, as noted, you should zero and then hide the

many many more accounts that are closed (aka zeroed balances) that
GNUcash was reporting differently. And if the account had a balance when

Would you mind attaching a screenshot?

The reconcile report 'date' selection applies to the 'reconcile date',
so any reconciled transaction whose reconcile-date falls between
start-date and end-date is included. I think this behaviour applies from
3.2 onwards.
Any unreconciled transactions are also included. The reasoning was that
Hi,
There is documentation on employing a Gnuash account hierarchy to produce
special purpose gl codes for VAT, and that is extremely helpful. I can see
that a report could be then run against them to produce the numbers to go
into the various boxes of the return and first time round the return ca
Hi all, sorry if this is not the right place (if so, please advise) for this
post.
I'm having a hard time trying to get GnuCash to 'Get Quotes'. It throws an
error saying 'Unable to retrieve quotes for these items: Currency:INR
Continue using only the good quotes? Yes/No'.
I've got just the 1
The simple answer is there is no 'VAT-done' flag. You'd either book the
VAT-able transaction using posted-date, or not... If a transaction is
booked in error and already processed/reported to authorities, then do
another reversing transaction (IMHO; if the accountant agrees) at a
later date.
Bridgit,
The hidden feature in GnuCash simply means that the account will not be
visible in the Account Tree (and any popup selection menus ? - see below),
not that the account is inactive, and not in use at all and is effectively
removed from the account tree.
A hidden account can still have tra
