I am a renewed user of gnucash (used it 10-15 years ago) for my personal use and am setting up my account list.
I use multi-currency primarily for 2 currencies: ALL and USD. My primary is USD. I want to set up my expense accounts like this: Expenses:Auto:Fuel-USD Expenses:Auto:Fuel-ALL Expenses:Groceries-USD Expenses:Groceries-USD:Groceries-ALL Then when I enter something in Fuel-ALL or Groceries-ALL *I'd like to automatically see this in the corresponding (parent) USD account*. I recognize that with changing currency values this is an inexact science (unless gnucash is smart enough to use an exchange rate from the date of the transaction?) but since I'm using it for tracking personal expenses it's not too big a deal to me. My difficulty is that "automatically see this in the corresponding (parent) USD account". I'd like to be able to do this in transaction reports, budget reports, etc AND in the register (with a running balance) if possible. As another use case of these sub-accounts being shown in the parent account... In our savings account we have several "virtual" accounts for longer-term savings (saving for car insurance, saving for car repair, etc.). Sometimes we want to see the bank account with these sub-accounts excluded (we don't want to spend the money that we have intentionally set aside) but other times we want to just see a normal register with ALL transactions in that bank account. Is there any way to switch this on/off? -Peter _______________________________________________ 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.
