Re: [GNC] envelope method, equity sub-accounts, cash vs. hybrid vs. accrual accounting
First, let me say that I have never in my 50 years of accounting/bookkeeping, been successful setting up and using a budget. It was just too much work when the information was already in the books as to how much was spent in each account in each period. The few times I set up a very simple one, there was no relating it to actual. I have been treasurer of a non-profit for the past 7 years. My predecessors, if I was lucky, kept a check register. It took a long time to get the term assets/liabilities in to some sort of books. I suppose I was fortunate that we weren't big enough, here in USA, that I didn't have to make detailed reports to the government, and the members were only concerned with cash in bank. We do, from time to time, have dedicated funds to specific purposes. I can easily see the balance of these funds and make deposits/withdrawals. 110 Bank of Gnu$1,337.34placeholder shows sum of sub accounts 110.1 General fund$1,234.45 110.2 Dedicated fund 1 $67.89 119,3 dedicated fund 2 $35.00One bank account with virtual funds. Now I know at a glance how much is each dedicated fund. I even had one slip into the red this month which is ok in that it tracks donations for our dinners and would have come out of General fund any way. In fact, based on a comment by our Commander, I had just set up the fund using data from the first of last year. Bruce Preach the Gospel wherever you go.

Re: [GNC] Difficulty with online price retrieval
John, I am so sorry, I have slightly misled you. It is the "Fetch Rate" button which returns the error message. I only use Gnucash for my business accounts and have no need of the "Get Quotes" button. On 11 August 2020 18:54 John Ralls < [1]jra...@ceridwen.us> wrote: Samantha, Sorry, I lost that in the ensuing conversation about how to work Powershell and got hung up on the previous no Get Rate button issue. The Fetch Rate and Get Quotes buttons work a bit differently from each other: The first looks only at the currencies involved in the transaction you're entering and the latter tries to retrieve rates for all of the currencies in your book. Can you try the Fetch Rate button? You can do that most easily by editing the rate on a foreign currency split. (Open a foreign currency transaction, put it in split view, select a split in the "other" currency, right-click and pick Edit Exchange Rate from the context menu. Note that which currency is the "other" one depends on which account you started the transaction from so it might be GBP if you created the transaction starting from an account denominated in, say, EUR.) Please run from the PowerShell command line with the --log gnc.scm=debug option as before, try both a Fetch Rate and a Get Quotes and paste in the contents of the resulting log file.

Re: [GNC] envelope method, equity sub-accounts, cash vs. hybrid vs. accrual accounting
On 8/11/2020 8:32 PM, doncram wrote: The idea of "envelope method" then is to mirror the model of budgeting and control done by real life envelopes holding the cash allowed to be spent in each budget area. This is an inspiring model/image. The physical model is very visual, very clear... each envelope of cash is a continuous visible indicator of how much more can be spent in that category. It is alarming if one runs low or empty. If overspending really does have to be done, then cash must be "borrowed"/transfered from another envelope/budget category. In a household where one person has the envelope for groceries vs. another has the envelope for clothes purchases, there would be "transaction costs" or punishments of having to beg other person to fork over some of their budget. I see the appeal of trying to make an accounting/budgeting system follow that. However There is a fundamental important difference no matter how you try to implement in gnucash (or pretty much any software). With physical currency in physical envelopes or somebody else holding the different debit card there is no such thing as negative dollars. In other words, if you actually need the enforcement provided by physicality, if lacking in the discipline to follow a budget unless so enforced, gnucash can't help you nor probably any other program. What do you want here? A way of specifying for an account that cannot go opposite? That a transaction would be refuse to enter if it was doing that? TOO LATE. When you enter the transaction in gnucash (or anything else; even old fashioned pen and ink on paper) it has already happened. You are just recording that fact in the books. Understand? If you want accounts in gnucash to represent the envelopes you still need to have that physical cash in physical envelopes for enforcement> Even in the case of entities with legally enforceable budgets this is true. Just because there is no more money left in the budget for expenses of a certain category doesn't mean if a check is written that would fall in that category it would bounce. Or that the entity could say to whoever got that check "sorry, the budget for that was exhausted, send the money back". If something is done wrong (with respect to an enforceable budget) somebody is in trouble, maybe deep trouble, or a board might have to call an emergency meeting to authorize or a town a special town meeting (I'm in new England) to authorize << but even in that case, the voters could say "NO" >> Michael D Novack ___ 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.

Thanks Derek. I did not realize this was source code. My os is Linux Mint, v 20. I've been thinking recently of compiling some source on this box. It looks like I've fallen into my next journey. Hopefully I'll come out smelling like a rose and not the other stuff.😎 I'm going to take a day or two and run through the READMEs and check on my compiling tools. I started using linux around 1995.
