Yes, it is the alignment of numbers that is the problem.

[GNC] Credit Card Reconciliation

[gmccollam]

In Gnu cash 3.1 the credit card reconciliation is not working correctly. 
After I finish marking all the cleared transactions and select the gears
icon to "Finish the reconciliation of this account" it briefly flashes the
screen to enter the payment, but it goes away just as quickly.  It used to
open and stay open so you could enter the payment information, but it no
longer does that.  Do anyone know why it is not working now?

Re: [GNC] Credit Card Reconciliation

[David Reiser]

It’s probably a bug related to gtk. My main menu disappears along with the 
transfer funds window/dialog. If I click on the main gnucash window, the menu 
bar comes back, and I can pick “Transfer Funds” from the Windows menu, and that 
gets me back where I need to be.

[GNC] Difference between Net Loss and Retained Earnings

[Gareth Davies via gnucash-user]

Again another Newby question.

 

When I generate a Profit and Loss report it shows a net Loss for the period
of £567, yet on the Balance Sheet report it shows a Retained Earnings figure
of £701.

 

I don’t understand why the difference, as I thought Retained  Earnings meant
Profit.

 

Any help much appreciated.

Re: [GNC] Fwd: The two modules

[Christopher Lam]

Hi Stephen

One of the most unique features of gnucash is the multilevel account 
hierarchy, meaning both parent accounts and child accounts can carry 
balances.


Would you mind liaising with the house accountant to ask about the 
following COA and the resulting balance sheet


Asset (bal=$0.00)
Asset:Bank1 (bal=$0.00)
Asset:Bank1:Savings (bal=$100)
Asset:Bank1:Bonds (bal=$2000)
Asset:Bank2:Current (bal=$500)
Asset:House (bal=$100,000, cost price)
Asset:ForeignBank:Savings (bal=GBP 500, bought last year at a rate of 1 
GBP = 1.25 USD

Asset:Broker (bal=$2000) i.e.cash with broker
Asset:Broker:Funds [stock] (bal=20units bought @ $200 each)
Liability (bal=$0)
Liability:Bank2 (bal=$0)
Liability:Bank2:Loan (bal=-$9,000)
Liability:Bank2:Creditcard (bal=-$500)

Let's assume the current valuation of the unit funds is $250 i.e. 
unrealized gains of $1000; the house is currently valued at $110,000, 
and today 1 GBP = 1.30 USD :)


How should the full expanded balance sheet look like? (XLS is fine) (if 
there are missing lines e.g. retained earnings etc please make up 
numbers and offer exact source)


Thanks!

Thank you this is very helpful.
 From my understanding the non-eguile version does produce satisfactory
headings and contents.
However its alignment of numbers is odd?
Is the alignment of subtotals and totals perfect in your amended
eguile report? How should it look if there are deeper levels of
subaccounts?
For html export, open the report tab, then File>Export>Export Report.
I believe the standard balsheet can be refined but this will take some
time.

Re: [GNC] Credit Card Reconciliation

[Gyle McCollam]

My main menu doesn't disappear and my "Windows" on the gnu menu bar doesn't 
have a "Transfer Funds" option, only "New Window" & "New Window with Page".  
Thanks for the attempted solution, wish it would have worked for me.


Thank You,

Re: [GNC] Difference between Net Loss and Retained Earnings

[Rick Copple]

Net loss or profit is for a specific period of time. Retained earnings would be 
for the whole file up until the last closing period. So if your annual start 
date is the end of the calendar year, then the retianed earnings would be the 
equivalent of running a profit and loss since the beginning of the file up 
until 12/31/2017.
