Re: [GNC] Reconcile "Starting Balance" is wrong

[Mahon Finbar]

Yes, I have found both, transactions 'out of order' and balance not 
'correct'


I usually find that I made a booboo in an entry or duplicated one or 
wrong date/year


To be honest, even after checking there is often a few centimes 
difference but I don't let it bother me.😁 Life is too short.

Roland,

It also depends where in the register display you are getting the balance at
a specific date. Transactions do not always get entered in GnuCash in the
order they appear on a statement Rarely in the case of my credit card and
sometimes also my paypal account.

If you are looking at the balance displayed on the Balance column on the
right, the balance at a specific date is not necessarily the reconciled
balance as there may be unreconciled transactions in between. Not all
transactions on that date may necessarily have been reconciled. My
transactions are often out of the order in the register cf order in the
statement

The reconciled total in the status bar at the bottom of the window is the
total of all reconciled transactions in that register and is what should
appear in the starting balance for the reconciliation. If this does not
agree with the opening balance on the statement or the closing balance of
the previous statement then you have an error somewhere earlier in your
records.

Yes you are right and that was what I was looking for when I first
looked into the functionality. 

The problem is that it produces a lot of new transaction splits that
don't make sense to me or to my usecase scenario. 
I think for now my testing is over and I will move on deleting the
trading accounts and all related splits, as I have read in some
previous messages in the list. 
I have turned the feature on in another book, an individual upstart
bussiness that I am now starting and see how this works out in a
different setting.

Anyhow for my use case I have discovered 3 following issues, which
could be bugs

- Trading placeholder account is set in the wrong security / currency
- Splits are automatically created in past cross-currency/commodity 
transactions
- Trading accounts do not obey commodity value smallest fraction

Do you think I should file bug reports?

[GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[Jack Frillman via gnucash-user]

I have a scheduled transaction for the 15th of each month.
This month and only this one time I want to make it before it's 
scheduled date of the 15th.

How can easily I do that?

The only way I could see how to do it was going into the scheduled 
transactions options, adjusting the day ahead value, exit GNUCash, 
restart and change the day ahead value back to zero.


Thanks.

Re: [GNC] How To Remove All Old Invoices

[Greg Feneis]

IIRC, invoices can only be created.

Previously, people have requested help with deleting a single invoice that
was created by mistake.  I think the best advice I saw was to set it aside
and use when needed.

Doesn't seem very good for your case, you'd have to unpost and edit each
invoice and remove all details AMAP. Then you would have a big mess of
unused invoices hanging around. You'd probably have to come up with an
empty invoice numbering scheme so they're not easily confused with actual
invoices.  🤷

Kind regards, Greg Feneis

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[David Carlson]

There are a couple of ways.  One is to set the Scheduled Transaction to
Remind you several days early.   Then it will remind you as scheduled until
you actually go through the Since Last Run list and convert the Reminder to
To-Create.

It is not necessary to re-start GnuCaash to trigger the Since Last Run
action.  Simply click Actions > Scheduled Transactions > Since Last
Run...and the SLR assistant runs..

If you want to make another change to the settings, then click Actions >
Scheduled Transaction Editor just above to make the change.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[Glenn Fowler]

I can think of two ways.
You can just leave it for the 15th and then after this month posts just
manually edit to the desired date.
You can also start the scheduled transactions next month and do a manual
entry this month.

That's essentially what I did and that's not what I want to do. If I 
have to go through that I might as well enter it manually.
I was look for doing something like double clicking on the scheduled 
transaction and having it commit right away.

Hi -- The first thing I suggest is running GnuCash from a terminal and
watch for error messages on the console. I might suspect a problem with the
charting library (is it still jqplot ?) and it may be as simple as making
sure the jqplot library files are in the right place when you compile it.
OR it may be something more complicated having to do with webkit (which
renders reports) in your distribution OR...

Be sure to report back to the list because others are likely to know a lot
more than I do.

Is this scheduled transaction (Sx) the first of a series (A), or is it part of 
an existing series which is to be paid earlier than normal? (B)

If (A): create the Sx with the early start date, and adjust the Sx after that 
date has past.

If (B): duplicate last month’s (already created) transaction, and put in the 
desired date. Adjust the Sx so that its first payment will be next month.

If neither (A) nor (B) please explain what you are trying to do.

Michael

Re: [GNC] Lost all settings after Flatpak update

[Tommy Trussell]

And just to pile on, I noticed the same in Flatpak running on Ubuntu 20.04.
This MAY have been after a "secondary" Flatpak update (?). It still says
GnuCash 4.5 Flatpak inside the application but when you open a terminal and
run flatpak list I believe it says GnuCash 4.5+.

I was quite surprised because I have run GnuCash for many years now and
this may be the first time I have had to re-establish register settings for
my older books. It's been long enough I did not recall what the defaults
looked like. Apparently I made some choices years ago and haven't looked
back in a long time.

Re: [GNC] Lost all settings after Flatpak update

[Tommy Trussell]

I should also say, I created symlinks so that my flatpak gnucash
installations on different systems share the same settings folder as a
distribution installed version, were I to revert to it. SO the flatpak
version is doing something completely different, or it blew away the old
settings or something, and I haven't dug around to find out what happened.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[David Carlson]

Jack,

You are not the first user that believes the Scheduled Transaction workflow
could be improved.  Over the years there have been suggestions for minor
improvements to reduce the average number of keystrokes to implement each
transaction to radical changes to the entire process.

The existing process works.  If it ain't broke

There has been no significant change in the last decade, so we are waiting
for a volunteer to step up with a good idea and the time to devote to the
project.

If you have some time...

We don't use jqplot any more because it was no longer maintained. We use 
chartjs now.

Graphs not drawing has in the past been down to the javascript thread that 
renders the chart not sending the bits back to the GtkWebKitWebView thread for 
drawing.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[Vincent Fu]

The way I would do this is:

1) Click on Actions->Scheduled Transactions->Since Last Run
2) Change the "Status" column for your transaction from "Reminder" to 
"To-Create"
3) Check the "Review created transactions" checkbox at the bottom of the 
window

4) Click on OK
5) Adjust the date in the new tab for the newly created scheduled 
transaction(s)


Hope this helps.

The only way I could see how to do it was going into the scheduled 
transactions options, adjusting the day ahead value, exit GNUCash, 
restart and change the day ahead value back to zero.

Re: [GNC] Lost all settings after Flatpak update

[Geert Janssens]

>From reading the reports here I believe the settings that got lost you are 
>those stored in 
GSettings. Those are not in the configuration directories you  can symlink. On 
linux (and 
hence flatpak) GSettings uses dconf as its backend.

As John already suggested it looks like something has changed with the switch 
to the new 
3.38 version of the gnome sdk our flatpak depends on. At this point it's not 
clear to me yet 
whether that's a bug or a deliberate change.

For the time being you can revert to version 4.4 of the gnucash flatpak by 
running (all in a 
single line)
flatpak update --commit 
298cf1b5b77a15d7afda8a58721b075ec8ec0c59f4b16e1e19db98e37c097b07 
org.gnucash.GnuCash

If you are on a system that automatically updates flatpaks, you'll also have to 
temporarily 
stop it from doing that. With flatpak (the tool) version 1.5 you can run these 
commands:
flatpak mask --user org.gnucash.GnuCash
flatpak mask --system org.gnucash.GnuCash

When this issue will be fixed in the future the updates can be unblocked with
flatpak mask --remove --user org.gnucash.GnuCash
flatpak mask --remove --system org.gnucash.GnuCash

Geert

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

That didn't work because the transaction I wanted to enter early is 
scheduled for the 15th it doesn't show up in Since Last Run list. If 
fact nothing is listed when I run the Since Last Run.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[Jack Frillman via gnucash-user]

I have a transaction scheduled for the 15th  of every month. Today 
something occurred where I want to make that transaction today, the 4th, 
and have it count as if the transaction occurred on the 15th and the 
next scheduled transaction date is the following month without having to 
go thought the process of adjusting the schedule dates manually.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[Jack Frillman via gnucash-user]

I understand.

In the program I switched from using there is an option to commit a 
future scheduled transaction immediately without making any adjustments 
to the calendar. Based on the responses it doesn't look like it can be 
done that easily with GNUCash. Which is okay. I'm just inquiring if its 
possible or not because I didn't see an obvious way of doing it.


As for your suggestion of volunteering to work on the project I may be 
interested in doing that when I complete my current project in next month.


I have been looking for a code writing project since retiring.
What's involved in getting set up?

Or adjust the Create X days in advance and run for this month (as noted 
by another response), modify the date on the created transaction, reset 
the Create X days in advance to desired value.  All can be done without 
restarting GnC.

I have a scheduled transaction for the 15th of each month.
This month and only this one time I want to make it before it's
scheduled date of the 15th.
How can easily I do that?

The only way I could see how to do it was going into the scheduled
transactions options, adjusting the day ahead value, exit GNUCash,
restart and change the day ahead value back to zero.

Thanks.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[David Carlson]

Jack,

for a one-time issue like you describe, use Actions-> Scheduled
Transactions-> Scheduled Transactions Editor to edit that transaction by
changing it to Remind in Advance 15 days.

Save transaction.

then run Since Last Run to get it into the account register.  Then edit it
as needed.

Alternatively, just find last month's transaction and copy it to today's
date and edit it as needed.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[D. via gnucash-user]

There is literally nothing that prevents you from simply creating the 
transaction on the date you want, the old fashioned way-- that is, manually. 
Autofill will make entry straightforward. 

If, by chance you fail to prevent the normally scheduled transaction from 
getting created, you simply delete the extra one when you reconcile. I do that 
all the time.

I understand.

In the program I switched from using there is an option to commit a 
future scheduled transaction immediately without making any adjustments 
to the calendar. Based on the responses it doesn't look like it can be 
done that easily with GNUCash. Which is okay. I'm just inquiring if its 
possible or not because I didn't see an obvious way of doing it.

As for your suggestion of volunteering to work on the project I may be 
interested in doing that when I complete my current project in next month.

I have been looking for a code writing project since retiring.
What's involved in getting set up?

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[David H]

As I use Gnucash just for my personal expenses (there are plenty of those)
and a couple of rental properties I take a totally different approach and
just setup all scheduled txns to create automatically 60 days in advance.
Makes it easy to see what's coming up cash flow wise especially if you set
the Register preference to have the blank line between today's txns and
future txns :-)

Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

[Stephen M. Butler]

You will have to do some manual work. This is how I would do it:
1.  Edit the scheduled transaction to Create 15 days in advance.
2.  Run the schedule transactions since last run to create the entry in 
the journal and update the scheduler so it knows that transaction was 
already created.

3.  Modify the date on the just created transaction.
4.  Edit the scheduled transaction to revert the Create Days in Advance 
to original value.


That, to me, is the least painful method to get the entry to show up so 
you can edit it AND update the scheduler so it knows it was already 
generated for this month.

This account happens to be my PayPal account, and normally this is a

the register as of 2/29/2020. But the starting balance in GnuCash 
shows as $858. I've already tried check and repair on the account and 
even on all accounts, restarting GnuCash then opening up the reconcile

Thanks for all the suggestions, I finally found the problem. I had 
erroneously marked some transactions as reconciled that were outside the 
range I was trying to work on. In other words, more-or-less the common

Oh, and it was last reconciled in 2020, no 2000. I wasn't *that* bad :-)

[GNC] Exchange Rates

[Peter Williamson]

We use Gnucash to do the bookkeeping for income that includes payments in both 
local and overseas currencies plus a few admin and equipment expenses.

For NZ income tax return purposes, is it possible with Gnucash income reports 
to assign exchange rates for a particular month and apply these to all overseas 
income received during that month?

Alternatively, the NZ tax code allows an average annualized rate to be used for 
each foreign currency conversion.   If this option is used what is the best way 
of ensuring all overseas income is converted to local currency using just the 
relevant annualized rate?

[GNC] Transactions document link attachments option is missing in CSV import

[Glenn Fowler]

Hello,
When doing a CSV transaction import, the "document link" is missing in the
option columns.
I searched the archives and BugZilla and found nothing on this. Is it
missing or is there a workaround?

My motivation behind this is to write a script that will take a receipt or
invoice, extract the data from it, and dump it into a CSV. The link for the
receipt or invoice will be in the document link in GnuCash. You then just
go through the transactions in GnuCash just to human verify.

Simply having this option would extend GnuCash to all of the API's out
there that can do all of the heavy lifting extracting the data from
receipts and invoices. They are all only a few cents per OCR.

This option via the gnucash-cli would be even better but it seems that only
has limited functionality at the moment such as reports.

Thank you

Re: [GNC] Duplicate Trading Account Created in V4.5

[Thomas Chen]

Thanks for reply.

Everything is working well in GNC V4.5 with duplicate Trading Accounts, it just 
looks weird.

I tried to move accounts under Old Trading Account to New Trading Account, but 
the accounts under new Trading Account are still duplicate.

I usually use Trading Account to understand the unrealized cap gain/loss and 
currency exchange gain/loss, I am wondering if it is providing right 
information if there are two Trading Accounts.

Thanks,

Re: [GNC] Frustration

[Andrew Ralph via gnucash-user]

Hi Team

AM going to continue to add to the historical accounts and use the reports for 
the annual tax returns, seems like the easiest option.

My other question was again what I thought should be a simple solution. Saving 
data, I have attempted multiple times to do this in various places without 
success.

Have previously opened the files/accounts from the file-drop down which works 
fine but there are only 4 options and I now have 5 accounts/files and as I have 
been playing with different names and accounts to solve the above issues now 
can only open 2 is there a way of “seeing” selecting and opening all 
accounts/files within GnuCash. 
  


As this has been very limiting have been following instructions in user manual 
to save Accounts to a specific file have followed procedure and repeated many 
times with same result that if no mater which file I click on it will only open 
the last one that was saved. SO below last saved was 2 Verona, when I click to 
open Oxley the 2 Verona data is retrieved. 



Sure there is a simple solution that I am not seeing.

Again thanks for your help.
Andrew

Re: [GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 217, Issue 9

[Mike Commissaris]

Subject: Re: [GNC] Gnc 4.5 report charts do not render (blank screen)

Solved
Thanks to Tommy and John for insights that helped me find my problem.
It's embarrassing, but I discovered I created my GNC launcher pointing to
the binary in my build directory instead of the opt install directory.
Everything now seems to work perfectly.
Thanks again

Mike
