Re: [GNC] Gnucash 4.8: doesn't read or store config

[Thomas Boerner]

Hey Klaus,
glad it's working for you now, too!
I've written that I got it working by modifying XDG_DATA_DIRS. That is true, 
but it cures only the symptom. The root cause was a forgotten schema from an 
old self-compiled version of gnucash below /usr/local/share. After deleting 
that it works with the original XDG_DATA_DIRS.
Perhaps you have had a similar situation that has been solved implicitly by 
removing and re-installing versions?
Best, Thomas

Re: [GNC] OFX - Citi Setup Trouble

[Steve Welch via gnucash-user]

Thanks to Kalpesh and Gyle!  I finally got it!  I assumed that because I had 
already set up my Citi account to download transactions with Moneydance and 
Quicken, that nothing further was needed on the Citi end.  Of course, that was 
wrong. 
Once I logged in and did the “Add Access” routine, I was able to get GNC to 
successfully connect and download transactions.
Now I get the joy of reconciling / resolving duplicates.

Thanks again everyone!  Hoping GNC works out as a viable option for us.

Steve

[GNC] Budget Report Questions

[Steve Welch via gnucash-user]

I apologize in advance if the answers to these questions are painfully obvious. 
 I have tried to read the resources provided but no luck so far.
I set up my budget with 12 periods (months) - each item is simply 1/12th of the 
annual total.
What I am used to using (Moneydance, Quicken) are two basic reports:
1.  Budget vs. Actual - year to date (YTD budget vs. YTD actuals)
2.  Budget vs. Actual - annual (full year budget vs. YTD actuals)
When I view the GNC “Budget Report” it looks like I’m seeing #2 above.  How can 
I view a report that shows #1 - YTD budget vs. YTD actuals?
Also, is there a way to collapse or hide the monthly columns so that I can see 
the totals (far right) next to the account names?  With 12 months displayed, I 
have to constantly scroll left - right to see the name and then the totals.  
Finally, is “Budget Report” the only one that shows budgeted figures next to 
actuals?  I haven’t found any others but wanted to be sure.

Again, sorry if I’m missing something simple here.  And thanks!

Steve

Hello, does the budget report option "Use accumulated amounts" help? If
not, please file a bug.

Re: [GNC] Budget Report Questions

[Jon Schewe]

Steve,

In the report options I believe you will find the following settings
useful.

Under the display tab:
I have Budget and Actual turned off and Difference turned on. This fits
with my idea of envelope budgeting. You should experiment with which of
these 3 columns you find the most useful. 

Under the general tab:
Check "Use accumulated amounts"
Check "Report for range of budget periods"
Range Start: Current budget period
Range End: Next budget period
Check "Include collapsed periods before selected"
Check "Include collapsed periods after selected"

Jon
