David,
I just stumbled through this issue as well. I was able to get a $2,000
customer credit to show as a payment on a new invoice by doing the
following steps:
1) create new invoice and post to A/R.
2) select new invoice and make payment.
3) when the payment window opens select the outstanding credit plus the
new invoice amount.
4) in the payment amount section enter $0.00. This should apply the
credit to the new invoice.
5) print new invoice. When printing new invoice select the Options tab
then Diplay tab and make sure "payments" are selected to print.
6) print new invoice as PDF and verify the customer credit was applied
Hope this helps.
-Ryan

After you post you need to Process Payment to attach the credit.
Unfortunately GnuCash no longer auto-applies credits.

Too bad. So I have to edit the printed invoice manually to indicate the
account balance. Well, thanks for your time.?

No, that's not at all what I said.
I said you have to tell GnuCash to apply the outstanding credit to the new
invoice by using Process Payment. And then you need to go into the Report
Options and tell GnuCash to display the payments attached to the invoice.
You do NOT need to edit the printed invoice manually.
By the way, there is another option that may suit you. Your other option
is to use the Customer Report, which will list all the invoices and
payments and provide an account balance.

Indeed, testing both 2020 and 2022 November dates result in a 19day due
date rather than 20.
I also tested the March dates for moving from standard to daylight time
and those worked correctly. (they didn't add a day)
Should I go ahead and file a bug?

Please do. It looks like the due date calculation is doing something wrong
when daylight saving time gets reverted.

I thought that was still an option. But perhaps disabled by default ?

Yes, it is Preferences > Business > Invoices/Bills > 'Process payments on
posting'.
I use it and it auto-applies outstanding pre-payment/over-payment credit
situations.
Of course, one has to have already 'processed payment' for that
vendor/customer for the feature to 'see' the amount to apply towards the
current invoice/bill.

Hello, Christine, and welcome to GnuCash!
One way to get started is:
1. Read through GnuCash's Tutorial and Concepts Guide
<https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=4&lang=C&doc=guide>,
2. Download the GnuCash app <https://www.gnucash.org/download.phtml>
3. Install the GnuCash app: do the usual thing on Windows and macOS,
and read <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Installation> for Linux or
if you encounter problems
4. Run GnuCash, create a simple new account hierarchy and new book,
purely for experimentation. Import data. Try things out. Make
mistakes. It's only a test book, not your real data.
5. Now start over and make your real account hierarchy and new real
book. Start importing data for real.
6. As needed, read the GnuCash Help manual
<https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=4&lang=C&doc=help>.
7. As needed, get help from the community. Send mail to this list,
follow suggestions at <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Getting_Help>.
8. Consider how well you understand the fundamentals of double-entry
bookkeeping. GnuCash requires you to use double-entry concepts, it
does not attempt to hide them from you. If double-entry bookkeeping
is new to you, maybe read an introductory accounting textbook.
Are those clues helpful? Best regards,
??? ?Jim DeLaHunt

I have made a test file with just two transactions:
Opening Balance in GBP on 3/13/2011
xfer and convert to USD 1/1/2016
So, those two transactions put two entries in the Price database for GBP.
I then added a third price between those two dates on 1/11/2013 The
Balance Sheet shows a mismatch if run on 1/11/2013 or any date after that
date but is OK if run on 1/10/2013 or any date earlier The value of the
GBP (reported in USD) is changing in the Assets section of the report, but
the Equity section is remaining constant.
Should the Equity section show an Unrealized gain/loss?
This looks like a bug to me. I am not sure how to report, or what is
needed.
The test2.gnucash file is around 5000 bytes small Now sure where the Price
history is kept, nor the Report options.

Fred,
The price database is stored in your main datafile for the set of books.
You can edit it from the Tools->Price Database in the menu.
