That would be of interest to me.

I also know others for who a GPL submission bridge would be of interest - ie
they have home grown accounting and need to submit to Making Tax Difficult.

The mechanism looks like this: customer orders from our online store 
(typically) some items of ours and some of the neighbour’s.  Branding is clear 
on the store.  Twice a week we deliver orders.  On that day or the one before, 
we inform the neighbour what they need to supply (we have no inventory of 
theirs - they are responsible for informing us how much we can sell) and they 
bring it over.  We pay in cash the amount the customer will pay us, less a 
percentage.  The customer has already paid us through the online store. 

Where it starts to look like bills and invoices is that the online ordering 
system provides us with what can be (fairly) easily converted (perl script) 
into an importable invoice.  But the online system, being 3rd party, has no 
idea that we have a mix of sales out of our inventory and commission sales, so 
the invoice contains both.

I was aware that I could not enter an expense account in an invoice, but hadn’t

This looks somewhat cleaner than having an expense amount that later gets 
re-characterized.
Cleaner yet would be putting an income entry in a bill, but that’s not 
permitted.

Re: [GNC] Changing end date on a saved report config option

[Michael or Penny Novack]

No way for us to know what you are doing wrong, but it SHOULD work.

You run the report << wrong end date shows up >>  You then use Edit +> 
Report Options and then the "general" tab. You should see there a way to 
specify start and end dates.


If you were doing it this way, remember you have to "apply" etc. on the 
way back to make it stick. When I think I made a change but it didn't 
seem to happen, THAT (forgetting) is usually what the problem was.

Okay, so this is more formal than I was thinking. Certainly, if you can 
make this work by importing from a 3rd-party app, that is the best route.




This looks somewhat cleaner than having an expense amount that later gets 
re-characterized.
Cleaner yet would be putting an income entry in a bill, but that’s not 
permitted.



Probably because that would then be a charge to the neighbor, which is 
usually done for a 'customer' rather than a vendor. (the devs seem to 
take the approach that it is extremely rare for customers to also be 
vendors and/or employees, or all three. From personal mom & pop small 
biz experience, I beg to differ, but I understand trying to accommodate 
such cases might be a bit messy for the code.)


You could possibly initially treat the commission as a discount from the 
neighbor. I don't know if you can use the discount feature and have it 
hit a proper income account, or if it needs a special contra-expense 
account that you later balance out with income. Otherwise, you could 
maybe enter it as a separate line-item.


Maybe ask a CPA, as it might work as a discount the whole way around and 
you don't need to involve income accounts at all for it. (if you are 
tracking COGS, it would reduce your cost, thus increasing income, as 
distinct from revenue) This would be similar to 2/10Net30 terms (does 
anyone offer that anymore?) where if you pay within 10 days, you can 
deduct 2% off the invoice, otherwise you have to pay within 30 days to 
avoid late fees or interest. Such terms are vendor discounts applied 
against inventory, and thus against COGS. (and very likely tracked in 
their own account a la "Vendor Discounts" so you can tell if you are 
taking advantage of them. Some business even track available vs. 
utilized discounts for that reason.)


Since you are paying the neighbor for the merchandise and taking 
possession of it, perhaps you should be booking it to inventory anyway. 
(again, a local CPA can better answer that for your exact situation)


This kind of sounds like a 3rd party shipping and payment factor 
situation (common in the furniture industry for example) where 
sometimes, the trucking company takes possession of the merchandise 
legally, buying it (the invoice less a percentage for the convenience) 
from the shipper, and then collects the full amount from the retailer. 
This used to be common with owner/operator single-rig truckers, but can 
still be found with small fleet operations.


Other than the manufacturer/wholesaler shipping on their own trucks, the 
other scenario is the retailer takes legal possession at the shipping 
point (known as "FOB shipping") and pays the shipper and trucking 
company separately. The trucking company is merely custodian for the 
retailer's product.


I know all of that gets off the main topic, but it may shed some light 
on how you approach this.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Commission sales

[R. Victor Klassen]

The reason it matters that it is not revenue is that in this jurisdiction there 
is a subsidy based on reduction in revenue during COVID-19.  The neighbour’s  
ability to sell was severely hampered so we helped out.   Before the pandemic 
we were not selling anything for him, nor did we have an online store.  So it 
doesn’t make sense to inflate revenue. For income tax purposes the difference 
is only what goes on what line of the tax forms and the end result is the same. 

Regarding your side comment with the discount for early payment - yes we have 
at least two such vendors.  It would be nice if bills permitted discounts like 
invoices do, since there may be five line items with three accounts and I 
generally don’t but should allocate the discount proportionately.

Adrien,

I think that's mostly a justification of the internals, wherein a particular 
entity can be one of Customer, Employee, or Vendor and each of those types is 
closely coupled to the corresponding Invoice, Voucher, or Bill respectively.  
The workaround is straightforward: If the same entity is both a customer and a 
vendor then create an entry for each role. If you want to "wash out" payables 
and receivables you can make an asset account for the other part of the 
transactions.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Login error

That would be attempting to get a list of all registered users and their 
e-mail addresses.


Of course, it requires admin privileges...

Ha Ha, well spotted - should have clicked on the next button down to update
my options - I blame Lastpass as it's prefilled every user name/password on
the website :-)

Thanks David H.

That has snagged me more than once even typing stuff in.

It is a poorly designed page.

[GNC] Upgrade from portable 2.6 to 4.4

[W. Michael Schoel via gnucash-user]

I am presently using GnuCash Portable 2.6.19 on win-10 and am attempting to 
upgrade to GnuCash Portable 4.4 which is already installed and with the 
accounts transferred from the older version. The accounts are all empty and all 
my attempts to transfer the entry data have failed. I am concerned that if my 
computer died I would loose all my GnuCAsh Data.
assistance would be appreciated
Thanks

1. Make a proper backup of your GnuCash data (and any other data that you 
value) to at least two separate disks, one local and one as remote as you can 
manage so that you can recover if your disk or computer fails or your house 
burns down.

2. Set up a routine so that backup happens frequently.

3. To safeguard against data corruption, keep old backups.

Now to the GnuCash issues:

Portable Apps has in the past patched GnuCash sources, so we generally don't 
support their port. Supported GnuCash binaries are available from links at the 
top of https://www.gnucash.org.

No "transfer" is needed, GnuCash is able to open files from a previous version. 
For absolute safety we strongly recommend that you load into the last dot 
release of each major series and run check and repair, then save and move to 
the next major. Since your' starting at 2.6.19 you should first install 3.11 
and load your book(s), run check and repair, and save before trying to load 
them in 4.4.

Regards,
John Ralls

[GNC] Newby questions opening accounts

[Peter S. Shenkin]

Hi

I've recently volunteered to take over as treasurer of a non-profit. The
previous treasurer was keeping his accounts with a different (tty-based)
system and I wanted to try Gnucash instead.

1. After having set up my accounts, I looked at the documentation and saw
that Opening Balances are supposed to be entered when accounts are first
created. Is there a workaround, or do I have to go through the whole
account setup process again? And what do you do if you make a mistake! (No
transactions have been made so far.)

2. I wanted to keep Equity under Liabilities (only because the previous
treasurer was doing this), but after I put it there (with the Opening
Balances subaccount beneath it), GnuCash created a top-level Opening
Balances account. When I delete it, it comes back. Is there a way I can use
the schema with Equity under Liabilities?

3. Is there a way to set the top-level display order of accounts other than
by using the "optional" account numbering scheme and ordering by the
numbers?

Thank you,
-P.

Re: [GNC] Newby questions opening accounts

[Geoff]

Hi Peter, and welcome to the GnuCash world.

Q1.
The recommended practice is to create an Equity::Opening Balances 
account and use that as the contra-account for all your opening balance 
entries.  It won't be a problem doing this after you have started 
entering other transactions, just choose an appropriate date.
Further details here: 
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/txns-puttoget1.html


Q2.
I'll leave for someone else to answer.

Q3.
If you are referring to the main "Accounts" tab, you can sort (within 
the account hierarchy) by clicking on the column heading, by:

Account Code, Name, Description, or even Notes
P.S.  To expose / hide columns, click on the triangle on the far right 
side of the column headings.


Some of the reports have sorting options too.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Geoff
