The first place to look might be the Concepts Guide available on the GnuCash web site. https://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml You did not specify which languages you are comfortable reading, but maybe you can have a look at the Concepts Guide in one or more of the languages provided -- English, German, Italian, Japanese and Portuguese. Over the years some folks have mentioned videos available on YouTube. (Search for "GnuCash.") I have not watched many and I definitely cannot vouch for the captions or translated captions, but you might find they demonstrate some principles in a video format.

The first place to look might be the Concepts Guide available on the GnuCash web site. https://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml Do read the Concepts Guide to become familiar with GnuCash's capabilities and structure. One thing to keep in mind that while GnuCash's application category is accounting it is actually a bookkeeping tool. The 'accounting' aspect (what accounts to have, how to book entries for specific business activities, etc.) are location-dependent and should be addressed by a qualified accountant. Depending on the record-keeping and taxing requirements of your business' location a practicing account will advise you of how to meet these requirements. Once you're all set you'll find GnuCash a pleasure to use.

Re: [GNC] Want to find some GnuCash example files
hello, guys. I am a newcomer here and want to learn how to use GnuCash. I don't speak english well, so if I made some strange sentences please let me know or just ignore them. Now I want to find some GnuCash example files, which maybe include foreign currencies, stocks,vendors,bills, invoices etc,more complicated more better, and show me how a real complex accounting book in GnuCash would look like. Could anyone give me some suggestions? thanks. Also, complexity depends on the type of entity for which books are being kept and the jurisdictions to which reporting must be done. Definitely not "one size fits all" and why you were advised to consult an accountant for that. Look, once upon a time (within my lifetime) books were kept pen and ink on paper ruled for journal and ledger. No matter how complicated the books, that worked. Similarly, to a bit more modern, instead of on paper could be spreadsheets with columns for journal and ledger. Software like gnucash can keep any books that would have been kept in those ways, just simpler to enter the data and less prone to error (autoposting: virtual journal) If you mean to be asking a QUESTION "if the books were very complicated,could gnucash still handle that?" the answer is yes. Michael D Novack PS --- "multiple currencies" is actually another topic entirely. There are (potential) aspects to that you will not see in examples on this list. That is because as far as I can tell all the users HERE are using solutions within gnucash suited to "continuous re-evaluation" assumptions (current currency market) << as opposed to entities operating with organizational or statutory requirements as to WHEN such re-evaluations/rate conversions are to take place, etc. or other restrictions on conversion>> Not that gnucash couldn't handle, but would be doing so very differently. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] Saved Reports Disappearing
1 - I began saving recent report configurations with a dash like in order to distinguish them from other reports... But, some of them disappear later on when I attempt to re-open them... Any ideas on what is going on? 2 - Where are the Saved Transaction Report Configurations saved? 3 - Is there a limit on how many Saved Transaction Report Configurations you can have? 4 - Is there anyway to set where the Transaction Report Configurations are saved? 5 - Can you have each "entity" save reports in different folders?

Re: [GNC] Saved Reports Disappearing
Fran The storage of report templates is defined here https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations. The diagrams of the configuration locations for various GnuCash versions on different OS's a bit down the page should help. The saved report templates are basically a list of options for creating a report template stored in a single text file. If you are saving reports for a specific period populated by data for that period these AFAIK are stored in html format in a location of your choice selected while saving the specific report.

Re: [GNC] Saved Reports Disappearing
Fran, First off, what version of Gnucash, on what OS?

No idea. An examination of the saved-reports file might help. I know that I had some unknown corruption in my saved-reports file at one point, and numerous reports kept disappearing. I think that one of them was causing the file to get truncated on save, but I never did figure it out. At some point, I think I rebuilt all my reports from scratch. >2 - Where are the Saved Transaction Report Configurations saved? David C. directed you to the Wiki page for this. >3 - Is there a limit on how many Saved Transaction Report Configurations you >can have? I am pretty sure the answer is "no." Since this is just a text file, the drive's the limit. How Gnucash handles a large number of reports might be an issue, but I've never had a problem. Neither have I heard one reported in the last 13 years on the list.I >4 - Is there anyway to set where the Transaction Report Configurations are >saved? I don't believe there is, short of recompiling one in. That would require programming as well. >5 - Can you have each "entity" save reports in different folders? But "entity", I assume you mean different Gnucash files. Reports are stored by installation, so all reports will display for every file accessed by that installation. This has been noted and discussed over the years, and bug 797124 was raised recently about it. Some workarounds are: use different logins for different files; use naming to group your reports.I HTH, David T. >Thanks for any help. >___ >gnucash-user mailing list >gnucash-user@gnucash.org >To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: >https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user >If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see >https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. >- >Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. >You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
