[GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts
From: davidbrown.r...@photos.bozeat.biz Sent: 03 October 2018 19:16 To: 'Geert Janssens' Subject: RE: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts Hello Geert I have made copies of the gnucash folder at “C:\Users\Office\AppData\Roaming” and have 3 sets. NAMED: GnuCash GnuCashACC01 GnuCashACC02 I have a batch file for accounts 01 which does this: REM THIS IS BATCH FILE "GNUCASH-RUN" REMThis is a batch file to run GNU Cash. There will be another batch file to CLOSE The application and rename the folder to previous listing. REMThe issue is that there are Reports for a set of Accounts. If one has accounts for two organisations, REMthe reports made for one set of accounts appear in the "Saved Report Configurations" of another set. REMThese reports are saved in "C:\Users\Office\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash". If that head folder "\GnuCash" is not there, REMGNUCash creates another set by default. REMThe idea then, as I have two sets of accounts, I want the reports of one set to be saved in the appropriate place and remain REMunique to that account file. REMIf I have two more sets of folders based upon "C:\Users\Office\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash" and save one named: REM"C:\Users\Office\AppData\Roaming\GnuCashACC01" REMand the other named REM"C:\Users\Office\AppData\Roaming\GnuCashACC02" REM There will be three sets of folders. REMSTART THE SEQUENCE for the first set of ACCOUNTS: REMENSURE THERE ARE THE REQUIRED NUMBER AND DEFAULT SET OF FOLDERS AND FILES REMRename the DEFAULT folder REM "C:\Users\Office\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash" to \GnuCashDEFAULT ECHO @ECHO OFF REN "C:\Users\Office\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash" "GnuCashDEFAULT" REMRename the APPLICATION 01 folder to "C:\Users\Office\AppData\Roaming\GnuCashACC01" to \GnuCash" REN "C:\Users\Office\AppData\Roaming\GnuCashACC01" "GnuCash" REMNOW START the GNUCash Application from "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash.exe" REMthat should load the report files for APP01 WHEN APP runs. CALL "ACCOUNTS SET RDPS" "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin" "gnucash.exe" CLS This now uses the Acc01 accounts with the reports and then use another batch file to close the App and put the folder names back as they were. Seems to work ok now, except GnuCash won’t run on that command. However it would be better to fun in VB so one can populate a drop down box with whichever account org one is working on and leave it running on the desktop. Have a default button with focus to close the App and rename folders back to first time. VB box can have a timer on it so it looks like it is doing something. I wonder if developers are considering multiple report save locations for each new set of accounts?

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts
Wed AM 03/10 Hello Geert I have just looked in my downloads and the “gnucash-3.1-2.setup.exe” dated 05/06/2018 file is still there; must have installed that v around that time.. I have now installed gnucash-3.3.setup.exe dated 01/10/2018. Before install 3.3, I found the folder .gnucash with these other folders and files. Note the date of the installs. I changed the folder name from .gnucash to xx.gnucash prior to install 3.3 and no further files were installed in my User folder at this place.. Just now I have tried to rename as before but the “.” In front of gnucash is not acceptable, get error message. Must be allowed during an install but not manual? NOW just tried %APPDATA% and there is a folder C:\Users\Office\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash the same as before as … Which is encouraging … now I know!! There is the 2.4-backup which I might rename and see what happens when opening. As a work around if this is the only place for storing the Saved Config files, I have just renamed the head folder \GnuCash to \GnuCashx and ran the App and it created a new set of files by default because unfound? Now that works, a batch file doing a rename of two sets of folders/files and start gnucash could be used to open one or the other of different organisations, and have each set of report files to each App. A little workaround mihght work. Do you see what is happening now and would that work?

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts
Hello David …. I changed the folder name with the May dated files, and then installed the newer version and no new files/folder were included in the “User” paths. I have yet to try a new report anyway, so we will see. Always a bit odd when specific notes are given and then doesn’t follow. They have to be somewhere!! I know when Apps are looking for those files it would be useful to store them in the folder alongside the main file. There would be no confusion between different Data files when all stored separately. I wonder whether this has been an issue over the years; I would have thought it was, because reporting is the thing we do for other people’s info. Tnx David … David B From: David T.

What version of gnucash are you running ? In addition there is a subtle difference between report configurations you explicitly save and reports you keep open when quitting gnucash. The former are stored in a file named saved-reports-x.y. The ones that are still open while gnucash exits will be saved in GNC_DATA_HOME/books/ .gcm.

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts
Hello David, I have looked at that location before but notice that the file “saved-reports-2.4” modification date is earlier in the year. This doesn’t align with the date of reports I have saved only just days ago. It can be viewed using Notepad, and wonder if it appends to the top of the text? There are no files dated September and would have thought that the mod date would change accordingly. I am using a different computer to store the different organisation data so have a work around for that. Once one knows the finer points it does make things a little easier!! Thank you ….

As all the reports are saved in one place, name them including the name of the book you intend to use each report with eg AB P GHF Income Statement I remove my out of date ones after the books have been finished by the accountant for the financial year to help deal with the number of saved reports that can accumulate over time.

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts
You don’t *need* to use the close book function. It won’t affect your saved report configs. If you do you use it, you will lose some reporting ability as the income and expense accounts get zeroed in the process. (with the amounts closed to equity) You’ll have to make sure that you run end-of-year reports before closing the books or you won’t have proper (or in the case of P, ANY) figures. I forgot about the issue that report configs can certainly be specific to an entity and it would make more sense to store them with the book rather than per user, at least as an option. That might be a good ‘Request For Enhancement’ (RFE) that you can file in bugzilla. (see the wiki for bug reporting instructions) In the meantime, perhaps rename your saved configs with a prefix to indicate which entity they are for as an aid to pick the right one more quickly. The list should then sort them all together for each entity.

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts
This is a known issue with how GnuCash handles saved reports, and has been around a long time. Your only recoourse is to create separate user logins at the operating system, and log in to each user account when you wish to access a particular GnuCash book and its reports.

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts
The saved reports are say for a year ending, for "Profit and Loss" in one organisation through "Reports > Income & Expense > Profit & Loss" and then set the parameters. Then save the report configuration Shift+Ctrl+Alt+S . The resulting Config is in path "Reports > Saved Report Configurations" which obviously is OK for one organisation, but the naming and other settings is not any use for the other organisation, but shows in the list even though a different GNUCash file has been opened. How can I store reports for the org that I am working on. As you say it seems though report config is per user and not per book. Will look at the "Close Book" function anyway to see what it does. Tnx Kind regards DAvid -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of Adrien Monteleone Sent: 29 September 2018 11:12 To: Gnucash Users Subject: Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts Not sure what you mean by ’saved reports’. There is a place to save report configurations. That is per user, not per book as far as I’m aware. If you want to run a report, say an Income Statement or P for each year and store the result, then run the report, and ‘print to file’ or use the Export to pdf function. You can store a copy of each report with the respective book if you like.

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts
Not sure what you mean by ’saved reports’. There is a place to save report configurations. That is per user, not per book as far as I’m aware. If you want to run a report, say an Income Statement or P for each year and store the result, then run the report, and ‘print to file’ or use the Export to pdf function. You can store a copy of each report with the respective book if you like. If you aren’t using the ‘close books’ function, you can run reports at any time for any period, no need to ’save’ them unless you really want to.

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts
Sat 29 September I have set up two Accounts of different organisations, both accessed from the same Programme location at "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash.exe" ... The files themselves are stored in different locations in their respective folder relating to that organisation. However I notice that when reports are Saved for one master file, they also appear in the list of the other file. They are saved in the Application location rather than being saved separately "attached" to each organisation file. I have installed a GNU.exe on a separate laptop and obviously that doesn't happen. It seems a bit odd to have reports of one set of accounts, being viewed in the list of another? Is there a specific way of dealing with this or are all bundled together by default? The list of saved reports from year to year just gets longer.
