Re: [GNC] Downgrading to 2.6.21
2.6.15 can’t reliably read the data file from 3.x. (if at all, I haven’t tested it) The lowest you can go is 2.6.19. You could use the Flatpak version, the .deb that was posted on this list, or build from source.

[GNC] Don't understand why I have what I have
Hi All, especially Adrian, Here is what I have so far. I have two accounts: "Little Visa", which is a Credit card account "Little Visa -- Expense", which is an expense account Credit card charges I have entered into "LittleVisa" (transfer column) as a "debit". I get a corresponding "credit" in "little Visa--expense". Payment go into "LittleVisa -- Expense" as a "debit". I get a corresponding "credit" in "LittleVisa". Every entry I have found on my bank statement I have placed a "c" for "checked" in the "R" column of "Little Visa". I have about 15 entries And will wonders ever cease, the "Balance" at the bottom is correct! Confusions: 1) In "Transaction Journal", I have to assign each and every transaction to "little visa" and "Little Visa--expense". How do I make these two the default? 2) In "Basic Journal", it shows everything as "LittleVisa -- Expense". The balance is still correct. Why not "LittleVisa"? 3) When I press the "reconcile" button, it asked me for the "statement date". Is that the ending date on my bank statement? If so, it changes the "ending balance" to some bizarre number not even close to the ending balance on the bank statement. Why? 4) If I try to enter a test charge, it goes into "Imbalance-USD". I can change it back, but why?

If you enter from the credit card account, that sets one "half" of the transaction to LittleVisa. OVer time, if you have repeat purchases with the same description, GC will recall the "other" account. EG eating again at Joe's diner will auto-fill a template transaction and all you will need to do is edit the sum of money. > > 2) In "Basic Journal", it shows everything as "LittleVisa -- Expense". > The balance is still correct. Why not "LittleVisa"? Presumably, you are in the basic journal for LittleVisa. so the other account is the expense half. For your unusual use case, the other account is always the same. for must of the rest of us, the other account might be Expenses:fuel or Expenses:Groceries etc. > > 3) When I press the "reconcile" button, it asked me for the "statement > date". Is that the ending date on my bank statement? If so, > it changes the "ending balance" to some bizarre number not > even close to the ending balance on the bank statement. Why? Yes, date is the ending date shown on your statement. GC auto computes what is thinks the balance is at that date. What GC thinks and what the bank think won't always agree, due to bank processing times etc. Just edit the end balance to that of the statement, and all should be well in the end. > > 4) If I try to enter a test charge, it goes into "Imbalance-USD". > I can change it back, but why? Because you didn't set the "other account" to something? GC *has* to balance a transaction that is entered, so if the credits != debits, it puts an imbalance line in - really it is gently saying that you've messed up and you need to re-assign that txn. in your use case it probably isn't important, and you could put every txn to imbalance.

Again, backwards. Reverse your debits and credits. Payments are a debit to the credit card account and credit to the asset account used to make the payment. Also, you don’t want to make your payments go to the expense account. You aren’t paying the card with expenses, you’re paying it with an asset. (that account I mentioned in the other thread...) Note, now that you can see what is going on, you can switch back to Basic View and informal labels if you prefer.

More likely a blocked port though since the OP said curl works to retrieve the same URL, but not perl. A look at the perl script will probably expose the issue.

Re: [GNC] Finance::Quotes stopped working for me
The URL is given several times in the thread, it's http, port 80. That aside, get real: A firewall that blocks a port when perl's LWP is the agent but not when curl or a web browser is? Besides, the request isn't blocked, it's munged so that Yahoo! returns a 500--server error response.

Re: [GNC] Finance::Quotes stopped working for me
LWP apparently will also self report a 500 status if the connection fails for any reason. The first suggestion would be to add lots of debugging to the perl script to dump its internal state at various points and also snoop on the connection. I would also check to see if the malfunctioning router is utilizing a proxy of some form. Some tools are able to pick up on a proxy if the OS has automatically put in the appropriate environmental variables but I don't believe LWP can do that. (Curl does look for the environment variables and most browsers can query the OS for proxy information). Admittedly it would be very odd to have a proxy running on a basic router but not impossible.

[GNC] Split transaction: more than two off-setting accounts
When I enter a mortgage payment I credit the checking account and have three off-setting debit accounts: principal, interest, and escrow. The split transaction button opens only two rows so I enter the checking account credit and the principal amount debit, then close the transaction and re-open it to enter interest and escrow. Is there a way to open the split with more than two data entry rows?

Christian, That works as long as there are available rows. Two are the default so when I want to add two more rows closing and re-opening the transaction presents an imbalance row and another one. This provides the needed space. I've not found a way to add more rows when that transaction is on the bottom of the gnucash window.

If you don’t exit the transaction beforehand this account also won’t be set up in your CoA. The other solution could be to switch to full transaction view for every transaction.

Re: [GNC] Split transaction: more than two off-setting accounts
Two other ways that could work include a) tab after entering the description might trigger auto complete into a full clone of the last transaction or b) use auto split ledger view or transaction journal view . Either of those methods add extra rows for additional split accounts.

Re: [GNC] Don't understand why I have what I have
Todd, When you edit a register and change a debit entry to a credit entry for example in the first line, the original transaction will have had an equal credit entry corresponding to the original debit entry. After you edit the first line younow have two credit entries for the transaction and no corresponding debit entry until you change the second line. GnuCash automatically balances the transaction so it creates a default debit entry to the Imbalance account. If you continue and then edit the original credit entry in the second line to make it a debit, the automatically calculated correcting entry to the Imbalance account should change to zero again and when you hit enter after correcting the second line. This behavior is all described in the GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts guide and Help manual. You would really save yourself a lot of confusion if you worked through some of the examples on how the registers function. Chapter 6 of the Help manual https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/ch_Common_Trans_Ops.html describes what is happening and why. Whether to debit or credit an account in a transaction in an accounting program may also not be what you expect from the everday experience with bank statements etc. The actual behavior of debits and credits on each type of account is summarized below for each basic account type. Asset accounts: Debits increase the account balance - credits decrease the account balance; Liability Accounts: Debits decrease the account balance - credits increase the account balance; Equity Accounts: Debits decrease the account balance - credits increase the account balance; Income accounts: Debits decrease the account balance - credits increase the account balance; Expense accounts:Debits increase the account balance - credits decrease the account balance; this works like this because sum of the balances in the accounts of each account type in double entry satisfy the followingrelationship: Sum of Assets= Sum of of Liabilities + Sum of Equity +Sum of Income - Sum of Expenses and the requirement for each transaction that the Sum of the debit entries equals the sum of the credit entries. GnuCash strictly implements and enforces these requirements on accounts and transactions which is why you get the apparently inexplicable behavior.

Re: [GNC] Unable to import QIF or QFX.
Evan OFX/QFX files can be edited or examined with a text editor. Usual caution about line endings and text editors between Linux and Windows environments apply First check to see if the exported file from Quicken had any content. If nothing is coming up after selecting the file and pressing the import button then either the file has no content or GnuCash is failing to parse the content correctly. OFX/QFX files are It is unlikely that Quicken would release a program that doesn't write correct QFX files but it is always remotely possible. They should be readable as OFX files as well, they just contain extra tags for proprietary information which is ignored on import to GnuCash The latter could result from corruption of the file during writing/editing copying as well as software bugs. Unclosed or missing tags are one possibility The QFX/OFX formats are described in the following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QFX_(file_format) http://www.ofx.net/downloads/OFX%202.2.pdf and some info about QIF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicken_Interchange_Format. There have been no major problems reported recently with OFX/QFX or QIF import at the level of stopping an import. I have imported OFX/QFX files from my bank in 3.5 on Linux Mint in the last day without any problems and import has been working for the the recent 2.6 versions. Less sure about QIF. If the files look OK then it may be a Windows only bug.

Re: [GNC] Unable to import QIF or QFX.
Wow I feel like an idiot. Attention to detail LOL. Quicken is exporting a QXF file. Gnucash is importing QFX. So my guess is to export from quicken to Gnucash I have to do account by account with QIF? Or is there some other way? So Importing one of my QIF files (my main QIF file) - file looks good. About 2 MB. When importing, it just says failed. It's at the final QIF import screen.

Re: [GNC] move files into sub folder
The GnuCash datafile ends in .gnucash. Simply create your desired folder and move the file there. Then (if on Windows or Linux) double-click the data file to open it and GnuCash will remember its new location. Otherwise (or on a Mac) Open GnuCash first, (it will fail to find the last used file because you moved it) and choose File > Open and then navigate to the new location and select the data file and click `Open`. There may be other files (logs, backups) associated with your GnuCash data file, you can move them all to the same place. (but GnuCash will create new ones in the new directory anyway) Regards, Adrien > On Apr 13, 2019, at 11:45 PM, Karen Remick > wrote: > > When I installed GnuCash I told it to put files in the folder for my > business.

Re: [GNC] move files into sub folder
Alternatively, after creating the subfolder, open Gnucash (which will open your last file automatically), select File->Save As, and save your file to the new subfolder. Exit Gnucash and verify that your file its in its new location, and then clear out the old folder.

Then (if on Windows or Linux) double-click the data file to open it and GnuCash will remember its new location. Otherwise (or on a Mac) Open GnuCash first, (it will fail to find the last used file because you moved it) and choose File > Open and then navigate to the new location and select the data file and click `Open`. There may be other files (logs, backups) associated with your GnuCash data file, you can move them all to the same place. (but GnuCash will create new ones in the new directory anyway) Regards, Adrien > On Apr 13, 2019, at 11:45 PM, Karen Remick > wrote: > > When I installed GnuCash I told it to put files in the folder for my > business.
