David,

 

Thank you for that primer appreciate it.

 

Boy was I under huge mis-understanding behind their intent for sure. My 
understanding of “value” was more aligned with like value of the transaction at 
hand for me, for example like $90 for the monthly train pass as a scheduled 
transaction.

 

Since I deal only with US Dollars currency, should that be just a value of 1? I 
reckon that I won’t have any transactions that creates imbalance.

I'll take a stab at answering these questions.

 

1 the value column comes into play when there are accounts valued in more than 
one currency or security and there is an exchange involved.   The most common 
case is an investment transaction.   The Since Last Run 😈  needs manual input 
to assign an exchange valuation to the transaction. 

 

2 All transactions must be balanced with equal debits and credits.  The 
Scheduled Transaction Editor cannot test amounts defined with variables for 
balance.   The Since Last Run 😈  can force the user to assign an exchange rate 
where needed, but for cases where there is still an imbalance in a single 
currency GnuCash will automatically assign it to an imbalance account in the 
specific currency.

Hi Everyone –



Two questions –



1 - I noticed that the “Value” column next to “Status” in the “Since Last
Run …” window that pops-up when GNC is launched or manually run from
‘Actions” à ‘Scheduled Transaction’ à ‘Since Last Run…’ is blank. I know I
have some scheduled ones that have fixed amount so I was wondering where
that setting is configured to show the value of that transaction. All of my
scheduled transactions are set as reminder in advance and create in advance
if that is in play somehow.



2 – In scheduled transaction editor, is there a column that shows the amount
of the transaction, whether fixed amount or the formula? I think not given
that it could be a split transaction that would be difficult to represent in
a condensed format. I checked the column selector drop down and I don’t see
one so not likely but I figure I ask in case it is there and can be made to
seeable.



I am running GNC 4.8 on Windows 10.



Thanks.
