I am at the stage of lots of rude words at the moment! :-) I am just starting to try and set up GnuCash for the PCC accounts and I've fallen at the first hurdle. I can't work out how to enter opening balances for the two accounts we have - a current account and a savings account (which is basically the building fund).
I have to say at present the help system is worse than useless, maybe I'll get used to it later but it really doesn't help at all at this beginner level. A search for 'opening balance' in the Tutorial and Concepts Guide always takes me back to the top level whereas I want to search within a section. HOw do I search for 'opening balance' in the Managing Business Finances section? So, ignoring the help system, how do I enter an Opening Balance? There's a section in accounts under 'Equity' for opening balances and I tried creating two accounts under that and entering balances but the result made no sense at all to me. Having entered an opening balance I'd expect the balance sheet to show me that amount but GnuCash just did a decrease and a balancing increase in the Equity account which doesn't really make much sense. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ 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.
