Hi.
Thanks a lot for the response.
My misconception comes probably from looking at book keeping and GnuCash
through continental European eyes.
There may, of course be differences, how I keep books and what I need to
report vs somebody in continental Europe.
But I look at bookkeeping from the point of view of how it was done pen
and ink on paper not all that long ago (within my lifetime; how I
learned to do it). I am positive that continental European bookkeepers
were also able to do it pen and ink on paper.
If can be done pen and ink on paper, can be done using gnucash. If you
choose "journal view" then you enter transactions just like you did in
the good old days (not! because of the many transcription errors doing
manual posting from journal to ledger --- the computer automates
posting, no errors).
Show me the subsection of books, the transactions, etc. as they would be
pen and ink on paper ans then make your claim "can't do that using
gnucash" But please note that does NOT mean using one of the skeleton
example CoAs that come with gnucash. It means you may have to "roll
your own" CoA in gnucash to match your paper one. Nor am I talking about
terminology differences.
