I have thought that a useful feature would be a balance-forward option on the year-end close tool. That option would replace all of the transactions in an account with a single entry that is the balance at the end of the year (or specified date if someone has a fiscal year non-calendar). Since the year-end close just ran, all the income and expense accounts would net to zero. I would have it saved to a new file rather than replacing the old (or ask for a name for the "old" file and write the pre-action file to there). I suppose this could be a stand-alone feature but it seems most useful in conjunction with the "close" option. -- Stephen M Butler, PMP, PSM stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com kg...@arrl.net 253-350-0166 ------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 8A25 9726 D439 758D D846 E5D4 282A 5477 0385 81D8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
