If you are in a (bank or credit card) account register, and you wist the record a purchase, you should have a transfer account of "Expenses:something" Equally, if you are entering the transaction in an Expense register, the transfer account should be a Bank or Credit Card account.

Re: [GNC] Regarding a issue with GNUcash
Hello Maf. Thank you for your reply. Issue is resolved. I was not transferring it to the expense account. Also, I would like to know, where, how and what type of account should I create for my payment gateway provider? I am very confused about that matter.

[GNC] Getting prices at startup
Hi, I've been a long time user, and have had automatic prices set up for ages. Normally, they update automatically at startup, but just recently, although I still get a black command box that pops up (as though prices were being retrieved), they aren't updated. If I manually hit the 'get prices' button, they work fine, so they are set up correctly. I can't find a specific option to enable/disable retrieval at startup - is there one, that I might have turned off somehow?

Re: [GNC] Getting prices at startup
Given that GnuCash doesn't have such a feature implemented (see https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628734), I imagine that at some point in the past, you created a script that first invoked the command line update process before invoking the program itself. With the latest upgrade, the command for this was changed, which would result in no action in your script. At least, that's what I'd look at. David T.

[GNC] Check printing via the command line?
Is there any way to access the check printing capability of GnuCash via a CLI? I haven't tried it via the GUI yet. I just became interested this morning when I had to write a check manually and, being of advanced age with not-so-good hand-writing, thought about the GnuCash software I've been using since I dumped Quicken many years ago. Note I only use it on Windows at the moment (mainly for access for my Windows-only wife), but can use it on my Debian at any time. I'm not interested so much interfacing with my account data as in getting the printing and check templating access at the moment. I see only one GnuCash module on CPAN, but that doesn't do what I need, although it does provide some help with developing Perl interfaces. I mainly program in Raku now (see https://raku.org) and its NativeCall access will help create the necessary interface if the API is reasonably documented or if some kind soul can point me in the right direction. I will of course publish anything I write that may be useful to others (see my repos at https://github.com/tbrowder).

No, sorry, only reports can be printed from the command line, nor is it possible to make check printing available from the command line as it's currently implemented as it prints the currently selected transaction from a register. What's more all of the printing functions are internal to dialog-print-check so there's no way for you to script them or even call them from another C program.

[GNC] Command Line Report Options
In the release notes and the help page, the documentation lists 'export-type' as an option and the example cites html as an export type option. Are there any other supported options? I tried 'pdf' and 'PDF' and neither of those worked. From the release notes: • A new separate executable, gnucash-cli (gnucash-cli.exe on Microsoft Windows) for doing command-line things like updating the prices in your book. gnucash-cli gains the ability to run reports from the command line. Specify reports to run by name or guid. It also provides an export format and an output file name without which it will output the report to stdout. • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] datafile.gnucash • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html datafile.gnucash • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash Thanks, Robin ___ 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.

Re: [GNC] Command Line Report Options
Hi Robin The documentation is not comprehensive yet. The export-type argument refers to the *report-specific* export types available, rather than PDF/XLS/DOC etc. Report-specific exports are rather sparse; currently only the following exist: Income and GST Statement: CSV Tax Schedule Report & TXF Export: TXF Tax Report & XML Export (in German only): XML To export "Income and GST Statement" CSV, you'd need to customize the report options, save into "Saved Report Configurations" eg. "My GST", then run as follows. I cannot assist with the tax reports. $ gnucash-cli --report run --name "My GST" --export-type CSV --output-file gst.csv datafile.gnucash outputs the following into gst.csv "from","01/04/20" "to","30/06/20" "Gross Sales",220.0 "Net Sales",200.0 "Tax on Sales",20.0 "Gross Purchases",110.0 "Net Purchases",100.0 "Tax on Purchases",10.0 On Sat, 18 Jul 2020 at 02:52, Robin Chattopadhyay wrote: > In the release notes and the help page, the documentation lists > 'export-type' as an option and the example cites html as an export type > option.
