Re: [GNC] how to delete a new file
I’m not sure what screen you are viewing but there should be a balance column for every transaction in every account register. However, you do not enter the balance. GnuCash calculates it for you. There probably is no need to start all over, but if you must, simply delete the data file after you’ve closed the program. The next time you start, GnuCash will open with a blank book, which you’ll need to set up again. You can also use the File > New File option which will open a blank book, and you retain the original should you decide to not delete it quite yet. > On Jan 8, 2020 w2d8, at 3:51 PM, Harvey Moxness wrote: > > I hope someone can help I am new to gnu/cash and trying to set up a simple > bookkeeping file, as a chequebook.

Welcome to GnuCash. To answer your question - you can simply delete your unwanted file using Windows Explorer - I’m a Mac user, so I’m not sure where a Windows machine will store its GC files by default. It will be called XXX.gnucash, where XXX is the name you chose for it when you first set it up. Alternatively, you can use File—>New to create a new one, and ignore the first one in future. However, your problem with the missing opening balance can be resolved without deleting anything. See https://lists.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/cbook-accounts1.html for instructions.

Re: [GNC] how to delete a new file
Hi Harvey, When you say " When i get to the point of entering transactions, there is no space for "balance" at the end of the entry line" does this mean that the register is not showing all the columns? If so, you might just need to resize the columns you can see by double-clicking on the dividing lines between the columns (at the top of the columns in the header), especially at the end of the description column.

[GNC] Tracking designated balances in the total checking account balance?
The issue I am wrestling with is how to deal with what I will call designated funds that our organization tracks internally but are just part of the one checking account. To explain further. Say there is a total checking balance of $1000.00. Then say there are two standing funds one with $200.00 and the other with $400.00. Conceptually I have: Fund A $200.00 Fund B $400.00 Undesignated$400.00 Total (as the bank statement shows) $1000.00 As deposits and withdrawals are made, in order to keep sync with the bank statement I should just work with the running account total at all times. Initially, I thought I should create and transfer funds to additional Assets accounts, but this doesn't work, as I see it, especially for reconciliations as the checking balance gets reduced accordingly. If I don't track the bank account closely, I'll go insane! I guess the standing funds will need to be tracked outside of GNU Cash, perhaps in a spreadsheet. Their balances will change throughout the year but not so often as to make this method unmanageable. The outgoing Treasurer used Quicken/Quick Books (whichever, I don't know) and he gave me several .qdf-backup files which are naturally not usable by GNU Cash. I'm not sure if he understood my request for an export to .qif. I'm loathe to buy a Windows 10 computer just for this so I'm starting from scratch to get going as quickly as possible and then may try to help him generate a .qif file sometime down the road. I'm not sure how he tracked the standing/designated balances. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."

Brian- THAT is where you are going wrong (making it hard), trying to do it WITHIN the checking account itself. There are a couple ways of accounting for restricted/dedicated funds. Having such funds is a common situation for non-profits. If somebody gives the organization money "toward a new computer" (or whatever) while the organization gets to deposit that check now it isn't REALLY the organization's money till used for the designated purpose. You really need to read something on "accounting for the non-profit". I will describe ONE way of doing it (that will cause no change to reconciling the checking account). But which way of doing this really depends on the formality of the restriction and the frequency of qualifying expenses. So . let's suppose we will be collecting funds for a while dedicated to a major project and formally restricted << if the project abandoned, need to return the money or get from each donor a release >> Could do this with a liability account named something like "Project A Fund". When a donation for this fund comes in, debit checking and credit this liability. Also create an account under income "Restricted Funds Used". OK, now say the time has come to use those funds. In other words, there is an expense that qualifies (is for that purpose of A). Can write the check normally, debit the expense and credit checking. But not done yet. Also enter a transaction debiting "Project A Fund" and crediting "Restricted Funds Used" << if you are very experienced with splits, could do in one transaction BUT entering two way splits is tricky >> But you say, going to be a lot of extra work because instead of saving up for one big project this is something ongoing with frequent qualifying expenses. Do I have to enter all of these twice? No, you might choose a different approach. Let's say there is a "Flower Fund" to pay for flowers in front of the altar. Create in the expense account "flowers" a child for each quarter. Every week, debit this for the flowers bought (the one in the right quarter) and credit checking. Then at the end of the quarter, enter just one transaction in the amount of the quarter total debiting the liability "Flower Fund" and crediting the income account "restricted funds released".

Re: [GNC] Tracking designated balances in the total checking account balance?
I should perhaps add that although there are many methods possible, you perhaps might want to rethink explicitly partitioning the checking account << doing that for funds kept in the savings account a different matter >> Money is fungible. It isn't specifically money in the checking account that is restricted but organizational money, and the restriction means that amount must be used for the specific purpose. The "liability" method I described is making it clear that "this money is owed to the donors" but how is this really different from a member making a loan to the organization? In other words, for cash flow purposes, for determining if a check can be written without bouncing, those funds are IN the checking account. They can (at least temporarily) be used for something else. And if so used not NECESSARILY needing to be replaced. Remember, restriction is at the will of the donor. Can always ask a donor or donors to release the restriction.

Re: [GNC] Tracking designated balances in the total checking account balance?
Michael’s answer is what you are looking for with regard to the individual funds. As for the QDF issue there are a few options: A) Find someone who has Intuit software that would do a backup-restore and QIF export for you. B) Use a VM with trial software On that option-B: You can get trial versions of Quicken/Quickbooks online and you might even find an older disc somewhere. (Someone you know might even have one) Just be sure the version you are using is at least as new as the version the backup was made with. You then only need a Windows version that will run that Intuit version, it doesn’t necessarily have to be Windows10. But if that is the case, you can still download Win10 ISOs for free from Microsoft. (a simple web search will turn up the direct link) Family, friends or associates also might have the needed Win-whatever install disc laying around. Then follow these steps: 1) Install VirtualBox (also free) 2) Install the relevant version of Windows in VirtualBox, but don’t worry about activation as you won’t need it that long. (be sure to do this once you have the Intuit software in hand, Windows will complain if you don’t activate within 30 days) 3) Install Quicken/Quickbooks trial version or full version as a trial, according to what you were able to find. 4) Restore the backup 5) Read this wiki page: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Quicken_Migration 5) Export to QIF according to the recommendations in the wiki 6) Import to GnuCash and make sure all is well 7) Nuke the VM unless you find another use for it, accepting you’ll have to deal with the Windows license issue later.

Re: [GNC] Tracking designated balances in the total checking account balance?
I forgot to mention, you didn’t say what OS you were on, but apparently it isn’t Win10. If it is Linux or Mac, (you might find a relevant version of Intuit software for Mac) you might be able to run the Intuit version you need via Wine. Mileage varies and there has been some success. Be sure to check out winehq.org and their app database for possible issues. A cursory glance looks like older versions (pre-2005) should work, but newer release will be a tougher nut to crack. The VM route might be saner. You can also remove Wine when you’re done.

Re: [GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing
Check on bugs.gnucash.org to see if it has been reported yet. You might have to get creative with your search phrasing as you never know how someone will word a bug. (or just browse them by section) A cursory glance doesn’t show anything related so far. There is a bug for invoice windows, but that *might* not affect registers if it isn’t the same code being used. It would be better to file a separate bug. You’ll need to create an account there to file the bug. Please, look for one well, but if you do happen to file a duplicate, it will be marked as such and closed, pointing to the earlier report.

Re: [GNC] (GNU) How to Transition to a New Year
Do you *need* to start a new file each year? While GnuCash has a ‘close the books’ procedure, it is not necessary to use it as that is a holdover from the days of pen and paper where physical limitations of bound volumes required doing so for organization purposes. (maybe some minor security purposes as well) Computers can keep everything in one file and you simply run reports for the time periods you need. If you want to proceed anyway, there are various methods and workflows, but that really depends on your reason for doing so in order to determine which will be most useful to you. Yes, you can simply ’save as’ a new file and the old one will not contain newer entries. This is the easiest and simplest way to retain your account tree and current balance info across all of your accounts and any book-specific preferences. Some people burn the old file onto a read-only disc for archival purposes along with PDF copies of year-end reports, though they can be regenerated by opening the file. You can also just keep the file going and run the ‘close books’ procedure. This will close out your income and expense categories to Equity:Retained Earnings. Again, this is not necessary, but some people who’ve been doing accounting for decades are more comfortable maintaining the habit. There is no real benefit, and you will lose the ability to run reports across period boundaries or even for prior periods depending on the date of your closing entries. (yearly for most people) You can do either of the above, and start with a fresh file every year, recreating your chart of accounts, adding in opening balances from last period’s ending balances, etc. Note, if you use the Business Features, you’ll need to export-import all of your customers, vendors and employees, and you’ll have to figure out a way to handle carryover AP/AR as there is no built-in mechanism for doing so. You’d lose all invoice/bill aging data. If you are tracking investments, especially if you have many of them, I’d highly recommend to just stick with the current file. Other’s may report decent mileage, but I’d think trying to move ending balances over to a new file and then losing historical price information for still-held securities would be a nightmare.

Re: [GNC] Adjusting Column Widths
What version and what OS? I just tried to resize and it worked as expected. Perhaps drag the right-hand header border for the description towards the left and let it go. It will snap into place taking up the remaining space. This will ‘reset’ the Description column. Then try dragging the right-hand header border for the account again. Note, if you are in Double Line mode, you need to drag the border on the second line, not the top one as that will instead expand the Reconcile column which really doesn’t need to be wider than 1 character.

I just tried to resize and it worked as expected. Perhaps drag the right-hand header border for the description towards the left and let it go. It will snap into place taking up the remaining space. This will ?reset? the Description column. Then try dragging the right-hand header border for the account again. Note, if you are in Double Line mode, you need to drag the border on the second line, not the top one as that will instead expand the Reconcile column which really doesn?t need to be wider than 1 character.

Message-ID: <028505ba-ddcb-4b81-a550-78ba384cc...@lusfiber.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Michael?s answer is what you are looking for with regard to the individual funds. As for the QDF issue there are a few options: A) Find someone who has Intuit software that would do a backup-restore and QIF export for you. B) Use a VM with trial software On that option-B: You can get trial versions of Quicken/Quickbooks online and you might even find an older disc somewhere. (Someone you know might even have one) Just be sure the version you are using is at least as new as the version the backup was made with. You then only need a Windows version that will run that Intuit version, it doesn?t necessarily have to be Windows10. But if that is the case, you can still download Win10 ISOs for free from Microsoft. (a simple web search will turn up the direct link) Family, friends or associates also might have the needed Win-whatever install disc laying around. Then follow these steps: 1) Install VirtualBox (also free) 2) Install the relevant version of Windows in VirtualBox, but don?t worry about activation as you won?t need it that long. (be sure to do this once you have the Intuit software in hand, Windows will complain if you don?t activate within 30 days) 3) Install Quicken/Quickbooks trial version or full version as a trial, according to what you were able to find. 4) Restore the backup 5) Read this wiki page: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Quicken_Migration 5) Export to QIF according to the recommendations in the wiki 6) Import to GnuCash and make sure all is well 7) Nuke the VM unless you find another use for it, accepting you?ll have to deal with the Windows license issue later.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash Reports - Comparative Income Statement
Bill, You might explore creating several 2 x 2 multi column reports with the individual reports embedded--one for each of your entities, with each row putting current and previous year in a column. Although the multi column report can be picky and slow at times, it might meet your needs in this case. David T.

[GNC] Navigation in register window
Hi all, Just started using GNUCash and have a basic navigation question. I've figured out how to page up/down, tab between columns and hit enter to save work in the register but I have been unable to figure out CTRL+HOME and CTRL+END (top of register/bottom of register). Any suggestions on where to find this kind of navigation guidance is appreciated.

Re: [GNC] Navigation in register window
The Help Guide documents all of the screens, menus, shortcuts, etc. The Tutorial & Concepts guide walks you through using GnuCash to keep track of various types of finances. There are also a few scattered tidbits concerning the UI there. (for example, resizing register columns is located in the Tutorial, not the Help for some reason) It is a good idea to read over both documents at least once to be familiar with them and gain some familiarity with the software. I’d offer a shorter specific answer with the exact shortcut, but as I am stuck without an extended keyboard, I don’t use those two. Another place to look would be the menus, specifically the Action menu. Most of them (and that one in particular) will change entries based on the screen in view. So viewing a register, you’ll see entries in the Action menu particular to account registers and transaction entry. One of them is ‘Blank Transaction’ which will take you to the next empty transaction, usually at the bottom of the window. (I say usually, because it will default to ’today’, but if you have future dated transactions already posted, they will sit below the blank transaction, though this is not usual or common practice) Note that most menu entries have an assigned keyboard shortcut (known as ‘accelerators’) so you don’t have to use the mouse if you don’t want to.
