Re: [GNC] Newby questions opening accounts
Peter, Q1 You can create transactions between any of your assets and liability accounts at any time. The setup routine gives you the opportunity to do this while setting upp the accounts. It is just a normal transaction but you would normally create this at the date on which you open the books with the balances of the requisite external accounts at that date. Q2. Liabilities would not be kept under Equity in any accounting practice anywhere. Your previous treasurer was not following any standard accounting practice. It will actually work since the debit and credit entries have the same sense for Liability and Equity accounts, but it removes the ability of the balance of the Equity accounts to reflect the overall financial state of the set of books and a Balance Sheet report would be effectively useless without external manipulation. Q3 .Using the account numbering scheme is the way to make accounts appear in a particular order within the standard top level account headings Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Income and Expenses. There are standard numbering scheme often used in some accounting practice. There are some discussions of the reasons for numbering schemes and some standard practice at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_of_accounts#:~:text=Account%20numbers%20are%20often%20five,%2C%22%20it%20is%20an%20asset. and https://www.accountingtools.com/articles/chart-of-accounts-numbering.html or https://www.accountingcoach.com/chart-of-accounts/explanation. Some counties require a particular order in the presentation of accounts in financial reports. The account numbers in GnuCash are a multidigit number with no internal punctuation AFAIK so make sure you have enough digits for the numbe rof levels of sub-accounts in your account heirarchy.

Perhaps there is, but the difficulty you are finding suggests that this may not be a good idea accounting wise. Best advice is to see (or telephone) the accountant responsible for the audit or other checks on the non-profit and set it up under their guidance.

Re: [GNC] Newby questions opening accounts
Peter, Just one other point. the numbering of the top level accounts will also affect the order in which they appear in reports.

Re: [GNC] Newby questions opening accounts
First, to all who responded, Thank you. Summary follows: Q1: (Adding Opening Balances after setting up the account) Yes, using transactions is the obvious solution. Clearly, I am an accounting newby as well as a Gnucash newby. Q2: (Whether I can keep Equities under Liabilities) I was told by the previous treasurer (who is a finance guy) that this is the accepted International (as opposed to GAAP) practice. Perhaps I misunderstood, but I'm reverting back to keeping Equity separate, because that is what Gnucash likes. Q3: (How to order my accounts in my favored arbitrary order) It appears that numbering them and then ordering by number is the only way.

Re: [GNC] UK specific: MTD - Making Tax Digital
I would consider this a great addition to gnucash (even though I'm in Belgium and don't need this personally). I have a few questions regarding the 'integration' though. How exactly do you see this happen ? Lots of subquestions in that regard: 1. How does HMRC "approve" a bridge for "production" ? And can the code of the bridge still change after approval without re-approval ? Is there a check on the resulting binary or do they use some other kind of validation ? 2. Do you intend to keep your bridge as a separate project, to which gnucash can interface ? Or would you like the functionality to become part of the gnucash code ? 3. Will you provide your integration (in whatever form) in a way that it's compatible with the GPL code (under which gnucash is released) ? I'm asking mostly to get a better idea of how to proceed. For example if it should be part of the gnucash code, java is a stumbling block. GnuCash is mostly written in C(++) and guile. There is limited support for python integration on linux, but not on Windows or Macos. If the HMRC bases its approval on the binary not changing, that also means C(++) would be difficult as we the resulting binary would be different on each platform and could change again with each build (depending on compiler versions for example). I suppose all of that could be solved though, just starting off a more detailed discussion here. Or should such discussion move to gnucash-devel due to its more technical nature ?

There is an approval process. Anyone can get credentials on the sandbox API, but the approval process applies to getting production credentials. I'm part-way through the process so I haven't seen it to the end yet. There are some questionnaires to fill in, and HMRC verify that the API usage is correct by looking at logs in the sandbox environment. There are two types of application: "In-house" is used for an enterprise which wants production access to submit their own VAT records. "Retail" is used for a developer which creates a VAT product for other people to use. I'm part-way through a retail application. The API reference is public online, but you get access to more detailed documentation by submitting an application for production credentials. > Is there a check on the resulting binary or do they > use some other kind of validation ? > No, there is no validation of the binary / code itself. The HTTP request must meet what HMRC call the 'Fraud API' which is a bunch of headers describing various things like the hardware, device ID, local IP/MAC address, software version, etc. The internal use of these headers is not defined, but I guess there's some anomaly detection for fraud/abuse purposes. > 2.

Re: [GNC] Recent list in file menu
Hi David, Been playing around with that exact same setting for a while now but it doesn't seem to work on my Big Sur / Gnucash 4.4 system. My setup is slightly different in that I installed Gnucash in /Applications/GnuCash as opposed to /Applications itself, so I've been tinkering with defaults write -app GnuCash/Gnucash "/org/gnucash/history/maxfiles" 5 but no luck so far Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Recent list in file menu
Have you tried without the extra directory info? man defaults says that the -app flag specifies the name of the app, not a directory. I haven’t tested it myself, and the manfile is a bit vague on details here. But since defaults write is writing to the pfile in Library, it doesn’t have to know the location of Gnucash. Gnucash reads the pfile on launch, so it shouldn’t matter where the app is stored. -- Dave Reiser dbrei...@icloud.com > On Jan 16, 2021, at 5:54 PM, David H wrote: > > Hi David, > > Been playing around with that exact same setting for a while now but it > doesn't seem to work on my Big Sur / Gnucash 4.4 system. > > My setup is slightly different in that I installed Gnucash in > /Applications/GnuCash as opposed to /Applications itself, so I've been > tinkering with > > defaults write -app GnuCash/Gnucash "/org/gnucash/history/maxfiles" 5 but > no luck so far > > Cheers David H. > > On Sun, 17 Jan 2021 at 07:52, David Carlson > wrote: > >> Searching the archives of this list I found a thread a year ago.

Re: [GNC] Recent list in file menu
Hi David, Yes tried it without and get "Couldn't find an application named "Gnucash"; defaults unchanged" so it definitely seems to need the folder name in addition to the app name.

The previous treasurer was keeping his accounts with a different (tty-based) system and I wanted to try Gnucash instead. 1.

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.) There is nothing special about an Opening Balances entry. It is simply a transaction balanced between whatever account is in question and "Equity:Opening Balances", and can be entered at any time after the initial setup, if not done during setup. 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? I am not certain, but that is certainly not standard accounting behavior/practice as I understand it. The 'basic' accounting equation is: Assets = Liability + Equity Therefore, Equity is not a sub-account of Liability, but its own 'top-level' account. It should not be (maybe depending on legal jurisdiction) listed under Liability. 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? Not sure what you are trying to accomplish.

Re: [GNC] Recent list in file menu
On Big Sur, I have Gnucash installed directly under /Applications, which is the default Installer option. I either double-click the icon, or, in a Terminal window, type "open /Applications/Gnucash.app". If you have Gnucash.app installed somewhere else, just type open /Gnucash.app. Once it opens, the icon will appear in the side bar. You can then right click on it and select Options > Keep in dock. From then on, you can just click the icon. FWIW (for geeks), I have a function set up in my .bashrc. The declaration says: appo() { # "appo Foo" will recite "open /Applications/Foo.app" open /Applications/$1.app } The comment (beginning with the # sign) tells how I start an app that's in /Applications from a Terminal session. For Gnucash, I just say "appo Gnucash". (The mnemonic is "app open".) I hope the above helps. -P.

Hi, Andrien, And thanks. If you look back up to the last email of mine in this thread, you will see that all the issues I mentioned have been successfully addressed. I've now set up all my accounts and have created opening balances by means of transactions involving each account together with Equity:Opening Balances, as you (and others) suggested. -P.
