Re: [GNC] Access GNUCash From Different Devices

2021-03-06 Thread Greg Feneis
GnuCash on Android is theoretically possible, but it's probably not going
to be simply downloading and installing from Google Play. However, a
Windows GnuCash installation should work on Wine, and recent releases of
Wine appear to work on Android. 🤷 I wish I had the time and resources to
see if I could make it work.

Kind regards, Greg Feneis

Re: [GNC] Access GNUCash From Different Devices

2021-03-06 Thread Colin Arndt
The Android app hasn't been updated in almost 3 years now, unfortunately. The 
maintainer kept up with it for 6 years beforehand, so I certainly don't 
begrudge him for moving on with his life. In the github threads someone offered 
to release a fork with the pull requests merged, but the link he included is no 
longer good.

I'd be genuinely interested in how others handle the use case for the mobile 
app. Seeing reports and charts from my phone could be useful. But as far as the 
data entry side, I don't think I'm missing out there. (Disclaimer: I tried 
importing my books into the Android app but it errored out, so I haven't seen 
it in action).
My workflow is to update my books once a week, mostly from QFX imports or 
manual entry off of online statements. It takes maybe 10 minutes total. Cash 
transactions are the only thing I need to record on my phone and a simple text 
note works for that. I do almost nothing in cash these days and so manually 
entering these in GnuCash takes 1-2 minutes.
Given that workflow, entering them more formally in a mobile app, exporting the 
CSV and importing it into GnuCash on my computer would not be worth the extra 
work.
Cheers,
Colin

[GNC] Best way to close unpaid invoices?

2021-03-06 Thread Daffy Duck
Hello,

I have some clients that, for whatever reason, I didn't finish work for
because something happened, so we ended the transaction without the
full payment.

They continue popping up on invoice reminder, etc.

I have another client who I have agreed to settle for a lesser price
than that which was billed.

In these cases, how do "close" the invoice but still have the ability
to see the details if you ever have to?  What is the recommended way to
do this?

Thanks!

Re: [GNC] Best way to close unpaid invoices?

2021-03-06 Thread David Cousens
The methodology is a little different for each case.

Where they have not paid the full amount of the invoice without your
acquiesence, then you would generally regard the unpaid amount as a bad
debt.  In a direct write off, you would create an "Expense:Bad Debts"
account and you would credit the Account Receivable account  by the amount
of the write off and debit the Expense:Bad Debts account by the amount of
the write off. Your income is unaltered at the amount recorded on the
invoice and you are compensated by t the reduction in your Profit ( and
hence taxable income) by the amount of the bad debt.  The receivable in the
form of the invoice is still active and you are still legally entitled to
collect on the debt.  If the customer eventually paid you at some time
later, you would create a transaction for the Bad Debt entry between
Expenses:Bad Debts and Accounts Receivable at the time you receive the money
and record the payments as usual.  Depending on whether your accounting is
on an accrual or cash basis you may need further adjustments.  There are a
number of ways of accounting for bad debts other than a direct write off
where this is a regular feature in your business operations and you really
need accounting advice if you need to implement them. 

if you agree to reduce the invoice amount, you could unpost the invoice,
alter it appropriately and then repost it. This however does not record that
you have offered the client a discount on the original agreed price.

An alternative would be to treat it as a discount on the sale. In this case,
you would use a contra account to your :Income:Sales Revenue  account i.e.
"Income:Sales Revenue:Sales Discounts". To record the discount,  you would
credit the Accounts Receivable for the amount of the Discount you are
applying to the invoice and debit " Income:Sales Revenue:Sales Discounts"
for the amount you are discounting the invoice by. Again the Invoice remains
at its original value and in this case your income is adjusted  by the
amount of the discount.  

The above are possible accounting treatments. Whether they are allowable
will be jurisdiction dependent and you should seek local accounting advice
as to whether the above approaches or another methodology is applicable for
the reporting arrangements you need to comply with.
