Hello everyone, I'm having a rather intense discussion with a friend on a topic that might be common knowledge to most people with accounting experience, and since we are both newbies on accounting and GnuCash, I decided to ask around.
We are working on a GnuCash file to keep up with expenses and incomes of a farm. This farm has over 10 vehicles that we'd like to keep track of gas, maintenance and tax expenses. From my point of view creating accounts and subaccounts for this (no matter the hierarchy you chose) would be unmanageable and full of redundancy. This also represents only a small fraction of the farm's finance, but it is important being able to produce a chart with gas expenses for each vehicle. I've read that using other softwares one can benefit from "category" to better filter the information you want and create reports, I've tried using the description field for that using a simple structure like Expenses:Gas and placing the vehicle details as description but it just doesn't work, or maybe I'm doing something wrong? I've also considered making accounts for the vehicles as assets, but honestly I have no idea if this would be a viable solution and even correct from an accounting point of view... Does anyone have any tips on how to go about it?
