Summary: Is there any way to display and sort by Account Codes when working with GnuCash Budgets?
Background: I recently volunteered to help a treasurer for a religious organization. I've used GnuCash for personal and small business books for 10 or 15 years. SO I thought GnuCash might help make the treasurer's books easier to maintain. It's a very tiny organization. The primary existing bookkeeping is on a paper ledger. They use single entry accounting, income items on the left page, payments on the right. They have one checking account, three investment accounts. They supplant their paper ledger with some very simple spreadsheets for keeping up with donations and a few budget items. Everything else is done with pen and paper (plus cryptic pencil marks in the margins). :-) Unfortunately, converting things to GnuCash is taking a bit more fumbling than I expected. The challenge for today: I thought one time-saving innovation would be to use Account Codes to match the numbered lines in the organizations's annual budget. I have never used budgets in GnuCash before, but this looks like an ideal use for them. The codes work great in the Accounts window, and it's easy to quickly see the accumulated totals, etc. HOWEVER I created a new budget in GnuCash, and the Account Codes are nowhere to be seen. Am I missing an option to respect account codes in the budget accounts listings, or was this an oversight? I realize I could go through and rename the accounts to start with the code numbers... but I'm hoping I'm just missing an option somewhere. I also don't see any way to display Account Codes on any of the budget reports. P.S.: I dug around and I believe the only reports in GnuCash that have an option to show Account Codes are: General Ledger, Account Summary, Transaction Report, Future Scheduled Transactions Summary, and Reconciliation Report. (Though I may have missed some.) I'm running GnuCash 3.7 on Ubuntu 19.10. _______________________________________________ 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.
