[GNC] Help with importing into GnuCash

[Dr Lawrence M Fox]

I would like to run GnuCash in tandem with QuickBooks Enterprise for a 
couple months just to see if GnuCash will work for me. I can export the 
Chart of Accounts, Vendors, Customers and Transactions, but I am next to 
clueless as to how to import (I've tried). Is there someone 
knowledgeable here who would be willing to do it for me for a fee?


Thanks

Re: [GNC] Rounding issues with Stock

[David G. Pickett via gnucash-user]

Sometimes GnuCash and web sites round my stock shares to 2 places, TD 
Ameritrade and most do 3 places, for dividend reinvestment or mutual funds, but 
Schwab now does 4 places, so I have a mix of 3 and 4 places to reconcile to!

The durable truth is that they take $x.yz and buy a.bcde or a.bcd shares of 
stock, based on the current NAV, and round or truncate away the digits to the 
right.  So, the actual price for small amounts may vary a lot from the NAV.  I 
reminds me of my 20% tip rounded up to the next dollar (who wants a tip in 
coins?) plus a dollar, which is often more than 25% for a cheap breakfast.  (On 
a more expensive meal, where it calculates $19, I tip $20, as using 4 ones 
seems silly.  We started tipping in cash as it makes the servers happier to lie 
a little bit on their taxes.)  Money is real, shares are real, prices are 
derived and can vary a lot!  Amusingly, Morningstar Portfolio's Modify page 
does not take value, it takes shares and price, so I send it the funny prices 
GnuCash calculates, and it is happy calculating my gain or loss.

I wish they mutual funds would adjust their artificially derived prices to 
about $10 so a penny buys .001 share, and there is not much variance with 
rounding or truncation.  But they have bigger fish to fry, or no cook in the 
kitchen (like DIA, SPY etfs).

While I am happy to answer emails, please ask your questions on the
gnucash-user mailing list.  I don't understand why you feel it is "sooo
hard" -- when you ask there you get the benefit of hundreds of people to
potentially answer your question.  Also, when you keep it on the list, you
can benefit others who may have the same problem you have.

Moreover, keeping it on the list will be more likely to get you an answer
from someone who actually knows how to solve the problem.  When you send
an email off-list, the recipient may not have any idea how to answer you,
or may not even be around to answer in a timely fashion.

So please keep questions (and responses) on the list.

The best way to remove a file from your recents list is to actually remove
the file from your folder.  Drag it to trash, or otherwise dispose of it. 
If you do that, GnuCash will ask if you want to remove it from the Recent
History.

Or you can just ignore them.   Gnucash will automatically open the most
recently used file.  So if you have "test 1", "test 2", "test 3" and "my
data file", if you File -> Open "my data file" and then exit GnuCash, the
next time you open GnuCash it will open "my data file".

Hope this helps,

> Thanks,

Let me try to understand, if you want to change the name of the company , you 
dont need to go to "New setup for hierarchy".  You can change the name of the 
company in File->Options

If you want to delete recent files appearing in the bottom of File menu you can 
delete it from the registry  
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GSettings\org\gnucash\GnuCash\history 
(please be careful while editing) registry)

Re: [GNC] Heidi latch Gnucash- help

[R Losey]

Editing the registry can be potentially dangerous; it would be much safer
to rename or delete the file and then GnuCash will ask if it should remove
it from the Most Recently Used (MRU) list (per the previous answer).

Re: [GNC] How to keep responding on mailing list?

[fromvendor]

Hi, when I respond to a message, I usually use a reply all option.  I then wipe 
out everything except "gnucash-user@gnucash.org".  If that users isn't there, I 
simply wipe out all of the To: section and replace it with the 
"gnucash-user@gnucash.org" email address.

That's all there is to it really.

I hope that helps!

Blessings,
=greg

Apologies -- I replied to Heidi alone rather than to the mailing list.
When following up on a posting to the mailing list, always send your
followup to the mailing list. (Do as I say, not as I did! :-)

[Phone company advertisement deleted.]

The location of the mailing list is at the bottom of every single message.

If you haven't already, you must subscribe before you can post. Go to
https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user
to do that.

Once you are subscribed, you can post by sending an email to
gnucash-user@gnucash.org
The From address in your email must match the address at which you
receive subscription emails.

What I don't understand is what it is that _you_ don't understand.
Obviously you have mastered the basics, or we would not see your
message, which I quoted above.

1. The mailing list is everywhere, and concentrated in English speaking
areas of the world
2. The mailing list is found by emailing gnucash-user@gnucash.org
3. How to respond depends on your email software. Some do "Reply All"
and some do "Reply to List".

4. Everyone starts out just like you, lost and uncertain, but you are
still welcome.
