This is the recommended (i.e. to ensure reports and UI behave well) structure:
Assets (Top-level Parent) = Asset *[placeholder]* ---Current Assets (sub-account) = Asset [*placeholder]* ------Banks etc = *Bank* ---Investments (sub-account) = Asset *[placeholder]* ------Brokerage Account (sub-account) = Asset ---------Mutual Fund = *Stock* ---------Stock(sub-account) = *Stock* > Why is the Brokerage Account also not an Asset instead of a Bank? *The main differences between Asset and Bank relate to UI and report headers AFAIK. Ditto Liability & Credit Card (Credit Cards can also trigger a Credit Card interest input dialog during reconciliation).* > When I create a new file using a different Category (Sv language) I get the following structure and types: * Equity* (Top-level Parent) = Equity ---*Opening Balances* (sub-account) = Equity On Sun, 28 Mar 2021 at 00:24, viking <viking...@san.rr.com> wrote: > @Christopher, > What should it look like? > Also, does it matter if the type is incorrect? > > > > -- > Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html > _______________________________________________ > 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. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > _______________________________________________ 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.
