Re: [GNC] Advanced portfolio

[Fred Tydeman]

In the following, the first word on the COA is the Type of account.

When I had the Canada stock as a child of CAD cash account,
the Advanced Portfolio report did not include the CAD stock
(even when I said to select all children of Fidelity).
Assets
  Asset Fidelity (in USD)
Cash CAD (in CAD)
  Stock EIF:CA

I had changed the chart of accounts to:
Assets
  Asset Fidelity (in USD)
Asset Canada (in USD)
  Cash CAD (in CAD)
  Stock EIF:CA
so both the CAD cash and the Canada stock are a child of
an asset accout in USD.  The Advanced portfolio report is OK
(once I removed the USD price quote for the CAD stock).

Based upon your post, I have changed the chart of accounts to:
Assets
  Asset Fidelity (in USD)
Asset Canada (in CAD)
  Cash CAD (in CAD)
  Stock EIF:CA
so both the CAD cash and the Canada stock are a child of
an asset accout in CAD.  The Advanced portfolio report is OK.

[GNC] Split Actions

[interesse]

Hello everyone,


can someone explain the meaning and consequences of the different 
actions that can be selected for each transaction split?

What do they mean?

Are they used for anything? For reports or something else?


Kind regards
Marco

Sorry, but I don't think this is a very helpful answer. The OP is clearly 
asking about the long list of Actions applicable to splits. Telling 
him/her about paper ledgers doesn't illuminate the matter, any more than 
it would if the question were about the format of the Date column.

Having said which, I can't answer the question either, except that AFAICT 
they don't affect the workings of the program.

Re: [GNC] Online quotes not working for currency rates (Perl library works)

[John Ralls]

It Is indeed caused by GnuCash itself, and it’s fixed in git for the next 
release. It’s available in nightly builds, but we don’t have those for MacOS. 
The simplest fix for you is to use GnuCash 5.8 until 5.10 is released in 
December.

Re: [GNC] Changing currency and raising foreign currency invoices

[R Losey]

Regarding the company, I'm not sure -- you've "set it up"? Is it a company
in the UK that does business in GBP? (or was GBP just some kind of
mistake?) or a US business that could sell in GBP?

Regarding sales/purchases, I have not run a business in a foreign currency,
but I presume you could convert everything... but if it is based in the UK,
I assume you would want it in GBP.

If I travel to Europe and purchase things there, I just enter it as USD
when I see the USD amount on the transaction.

Re: [GNC] Split Actions

[R Losey]

I think they are just to make record-keeping easier.  I think these tags
show up in some of the reports.

I routinely do account transfers, so I tend to try hard to use the
"Transfer" action (also note that the generated list changes depending upon
the type of account... but it is also a freeform field - you can type in
whatever you like. I tend to use Transfer, Check, DirectDebit, and Online.
I don't tend to use Actions for credit card entries.

Re: [GNC] Export file lacks document links

[Mark at Lorimark]

Hi Brook,

I've used doc-links 'a bit' so I have only a few examples.

(see attached)

I can tell you where the links are 'stored' but not how they get there. 
You would want to explore the code in the slots/mechanism (sorry I can't 
give better source references).


But, as you can see in the attachment, the links are stored in the 
'slots' table.

As I was exploring export file issues recently, I realized that the export file 
lacks the document links.  Consequently, an export + import will not round-trip 
the data and regenerate the original book.  It seems it would be desireable for

I was looking through the source code on Github to try to figure out where the 
document links are handled, but I’m not finding anything.  Can anyone point me 
to the document link code?

If that is reasonable, it seems easy to add document links as a field to the 
export file, although there would have to be some way to detect the difference 
between prior exports and those with the extra field.  How have changes in 
export format be handled in the past?

Thanks for any pointers.

Re: [GNC] Export file lacks document links

[Brook Milligan via gnucash-user]

OK, I found what appears to be the way to access document links in the code 
(see libgnucash/engine/Transaction.cpp).  It seems that the attached patch 
(untested) will add the transaction link to exported files. 

However, I’m much less certain how to make the import code handle the extra 
field.  All the callbacks make that code unclear to me.

If anyone has a better sense of how importing works, please let me know how an 
extra field (doc links) can be added to the process.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Brook

Re: [GNC] Changing currency and raising foreign currency invoices

Yes you need to edit the file and save it as environment.local

You can read more detailed instruction in the following link

You can override the locale currency setting by changing the environment file 
(you can find this in the GNC_CONF path and save it as environment.local)



Also please check the billing information on customer panel and you can change 
the currency for your purspose.

This is a USD business which invoices in USD and EUR predominantly. When I 
setup the company, I did select USA but everything defaulted to GBP. I've 
noticed that I create accounts in the currencies and that has somewhat solved 
my problem and I was also able to raise an invoice in a foreign currency.

So I think I have figured it out for now.

Re: [GNC] Advanced portfolio

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

The Currency of a stock is based upon the currency of its parent account.
How do you have your brokerage set up?
To get this to work, you would need a "Foreign-Brokerage CAD" asset
account as the parent for the CAD-enumerated stock account.  Do you have
that?

Re: [GNC] Advanced portfolio

[Murugan Mariappan]

Couple of queries,

  1.
Is the stock enabled for auto price quotes?
  2.
The prices you have seen , does it say Finance:Quote or user:split

My Fidelity brokerage account has one stock on a Canada stock exchange.
I have run Reports: Assets&Liabilities: Advanced Portfolio.
In the options, I changed the date to yesterday (Oct 19).
The line in the report for that Canada stock was very wrong.
I left clicked on the blue highlighted Price.
The popup shows a date of last January.
I opened Tools: Price Database
There is a price for last January (but in USD, not CAD like the rest of the
prices).
There is a CAD price for Oct 18, yet it is not being used in the report.

I have removed the USD price entry from the Price Database and the report
is OK (after Reload).
Seems wrong to use a price from 9 months ago when there is a current price.

Also, not sure how USD prices are mixed in with CAD prices for a CAD stock.

The Gnucash server for mail has been disconnected from the internet for
a couple of days.
I think that is why you have struck some difficulties.

[GNC] Changing currency and raising foreign currency invoices

[Jason Seegers]

Hi,

I am wanting to run everything in USD but the company I setup is in GBP and 
changing the settings to USD has not changed this. How do I change the currency 
ot the company?

Also, how does one raise sales or purchase invoices in a foreign currency?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

[GNC] [MAINT] Unplanned network outage Saturday/Sunday

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

Many of you may have noticed that it was pretty quiet over the weekend. 
AT&T (my ISP) had a fiber cut around 1am Saturday Night (Sunday Morning)
that took out my network.  They kept pushing the expected resolution until
5am today, but the network was repaired at 7:09pm last night at which
point everything should have come back.

This outage affected code, which runs email, wiki, and git (among others).
 If you still see any issues please let me know.

Sorry for any inconvenience..

Re: [GNC] Problem with auto generation of entries

[Derek Atkins]

FYI, the network returned at 7:09pm US/EDT last night, so it was offline
for less than 24 hours.  However that outage certainly would have affected
access to the Wiki and some of the Documentation.

The rejection could be due to the network outage -- can you send me the
bounce message?

FYI, images can be attached (not MIME-included) to make it through the list.

Enjoy!

Re: [GNC] Dealing with mutual funds

[R Losey]

Part of this is up to you, and GnuCash is flexible because configurations
can change.

I assume IBKR is your broker, and you have a single, normal brokerage
account that deals in mutual funds and stocks.

I would create a brokerage account and note that it is with IBKR; I assume
cash is help somewhere like a sweep account. I cannot tell if you have both
a USD sweep and a CHF sweep; if you do, I'd create a subaccount for each.
Then I'd create an entry in the Security for the VT mutual fund, and create
a subaccount in IBKR something like IBKR-VT that tracks the VT shares you
own. Each buy or sell of VT will be its own transaction, with the funds
coming from the USD sweep.  Money you send to IBKR will, I assume, go into
the CHF sweep, and then either manually or automatically, get converted to
USD as you make purchases.

Dividends are just another transaction; if you are reinvesting dividends,
you'll add the transaction, but the "other" account will be some dividend
income account - for me, I have an "Income:Investment
Income:Taxable:Dividends" account for these things. Dividends that are not
reinvested, will be entered in the sweep fund instead of purchasing more of
the mutual fund, but would still be assigned to the dividend account.

Re: [GNC] Split Actions

[David Carlson]

There is a setting under Edit > Preferences > General regarding setting
book options to use  split action field...
with the flyover note [quoted from the help manual]
"Set book option on new files to use split "action" field for "Num" field
on registers/reports: If selected,
the displayed setting on the New Book Options dialog for the Use Split
Action Field for Number
setting will be selected and, if saved, the book option for the new file
will be set so that the "Num" field
on registers shows/updates the split-action field and the transaction-num
field is shown on the second
line in double line mode (and is not visible in single line mode).
Otherwise, the displayed setting on
the dialog will not be selected and, if saved, the book option for the new
file will be set so that the
"Num" field on registers shows/updates the transaction-num field. See the
discussion in the section
called “Book Options” about how to set book options including the option
for the section called “Use
Split Action Field for Number”. Regardless of the setting of this
preference, the user can modify the
initially displayed setting for this option on the New Book Options dialog
before saving the options."

However, it does not cover a list of actions that might appear there as the
OP is asking for information about.
I too cannot find more information than this.

Hello everyone,

can someone explain the meaning and consequences of the different

What do they mean?

Are they used for anything? For reports or something else?

Kind regards
Marco 


Unclear what you are asking about. What "different actions"?

In a case like this can be useful to consider the JOURNAL ENTRY as it 
would have been done in the days of pen and ink on paper. After all, 
when you enter a "split transaction" in gnucash you are in Journal Entry 
mode. With large space meaning new line.


Date   check number    postedimmediately posted to ledger>                  debit account1  amountd1 
debit account2  amountd2   debit accountn amountdn 
                < indented>   credit account1   amountc1    
. credit accountcm amountcm              
         description of transaction


When posted to the ledger, the line for each account will appear in the 
ledger for the corresponding  account, same description (there only was 
one for the entire transaction)  and when on paper that line  would have 
a  Journal page number << not used by gnucash, the journal is virtual 
and unpaged: in pen and paper days, this Journal page number told you 
where to go to see the rest of the transaction>>


NOW  what element of THIS description of a split transaction are you 
referring to?  (when you day "different action")   For example, the 
action to close/enter/complete the transaction is the action "post to 
ledger". But I can't think of an action affecting just ONE of the lines.

[GNC] Online quotes not working for currency rates (Perl library works)

[Chang Wang]

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the quotes of currency exchange rates using
Finance::Quote.

The situation:

* I can get quotes successfully for stocks using "Get Quotes" in the
price database. But not the currency I'm using.

* I'm on MacOS.
```
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=XXX
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/gnucash-cli --quotes dump
currency USD JPY
```
gives
```
JPY Finance::Quote returned no data and set no error.
```
The same error message also appears in GUI (I have entered the API key
in the preferences).

However, if I write a Perl script that directly calls Finance::Quote
with my API key, I can get the USDJPY rate successfully.

* I'm also unable to change the quote source of currency rates from
the security editor. The default is "Single - currency." When I change
it to something else and hit OK, next time I open it, the source is
reverted back to single.

I think this might be caused by GnuCash itself? Any hint on how I can
circumvent this problem? Thanks!

Best,
Chang

[GNC] Export file lacks document links

[Brook Milligan via gnucash-user]

As I was exploring export file issues recently, I realized that the export file 
lacks the document links.  Consequently, an export + import will not round-trip 
the data and regenerate the original book.  It seems it would be desireable for 
that to be possible.

I was looking through the source code on Github to try to figure out where the 
document links are handled, but I’m not finding anything.  Can anyone point me 
to the document link code?

If that is reasonable, it seems easy to add document links as a field to the 
export file, although there would have to be some way to detect the difference 
between prior exports and those with the extra field.  How have changes in 
export format be handled in the past?

Thanks for any pointers.

Cheers,
Brook

Re: [GNC] Changing currency and raising foreign currency invoices

[Jason Seegers]

This is a USD business which invoices in USD and EUR predominantly. When I 
setup the company, I did select USA but everything defaulted to GBP. I've 
noticed that I create accounts in the currencies and that has somewhat solved 
my problem and I was also able to raise an invoice in a foreign currency.

So I think I have figured it out for now.

Regarding the company, I'm not sure -- you've "set it up"? Is it a company in 
the UK that does business in GBP? (or was GBP just some kind of mistake?) or a 
US business that could sell in GBP?

Regarding sales/purchases, I have not run a business in a foreign currency, but 
I presume you could convert everything... but if it is based in the UK, I 
assume you would want it in GBP.

If I travel to Europe and purchase things there, I just enter it as USD when I 
see the USD amount on the transaction.

changing the settings to USD has not changed this. How do I change the currency 
ot the company?

Also, how does one raise sales or purchase invoices in a foreign currency?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Re: [GNC] Split Actions

[John Ralls]

Interesse means the action field on splits.

The action field is a free-text field with some predefined values that you can 
use; what the predefined values are depends on the register type (currency, 
stock, invoice, etc.). It can be used to select transactions in the Find 
dialog, to sort them in registers, and to select them in some reports. The 
business module might use them, I’m not sure about that. There are GnuCash 
features that will set them, for example the Stock Assistant, Stock Split 
Assistant, Lot Scrubber, and bill/invoice processing code.

David is half right that there’s an option to flip the action and number fields 
but it’s in File>Properiies on the Accounts tab, not in Preferences. That’s 
more useful only if you don’t use actions much but do need to assign different 
numbers to splits in a single transaction.

Regards,
John Ralls

[GNC] transaction register date-picker pop-up box is transparent, makes choosing dates cumbersome.

[Mike Commissaris]

Recent replies about small register font has prompted me to fix a nagging
issue where the calendar pop-up box is transparent and the text under the
pop-up mixes with the calendar dates causing difficulty picking the date.
The pop-up has focus because I can select the date - just have to discern
the dates from underlying text. I found "dense calendar setting" that can
be placed in gtk-3.0.css (right file name?) but the issue is not with the
calendar, it is actually with the pop-up box transparent background.
Is there a way to make the pop-up box opaque?

That’s been reported before: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798693 . 
In that case it turned out to be a theme problem.

Re: [GNC] Split Actions

[Adrien Monteleone]

Also, when you post a bill/invoice, the line-item splits get assigned an 
action of 'bill'/'invoice' respectively.


Another point about the 'payment' actions is that they get applied to 
both the AR/AP split, and the source account split. As far as I know, 
only the one assigned to the AR/AP split is meaningful/particular, 
because if you have more than one, and you edit the payment, it seems 
GnuCash uses this action label to alert you that there is more than one 
'payment' in this transaction, and then asks you to choose which one you 
want to edit. (there could also be a hidden key affecting this, but I 
haven't investigated that. The action field is certainly not hidden though)

Adrien

The business features, at the least, assign a 'payment' action when you

There might be others, but I recall that one off-hand.

Re: [GNC] Changing currency and raising foreign currency invoices

[Murugan Mariappan]

You can override the locale currency setting by changing the environment file 
(you can find this in the GNC_CONF path and save it as environment.local)

Also please check the billing information on customer panel and you can change 
the currency for your purspose.

[GNC] Thank you to developers

[William Prescott]

I have used Gnucash since 2011-01-01. I had never used the import function 
until this past weekend. I always made all the entries manually. But I recently 
realized that my bank allows downloading transactions in qfx format and I 
decided to try it.

It was a good time to do so. I recently returned from a trip where I used Apple 
Pay on my phone to pay for everything. So every minor thing I did was a 
separate transaction. I had 72 lines on my credit card statement.

I imported it into Gnucash with no problem.  The only thing  that could have 
been better was setting the account for all of the transactions. One side was 
the credit card account and that worked fine. But it set the other side to 
"Imbalance-USD". I didn't see a way to change that on all of them before the 
import. So I went through and changed them all manually after the import. It 
was still a lot easier than entering them manually.

In hindsight, I think I probably could have imported just one of them, set the 
account correctly on it. Then imported the rest and it might have known better 
what to do with them.

I any event, learning to use the import function was a big time saver that I 
will make more use of in the future. And I wanted to thank the developers for 
providing it.

Thank you.

Best wishes,
Will

Re: [GNC] How do I do a backup of Gnucash?

[Kalpesh Patel]

Here is a link to YouTube video to setup the built-in backup on Windows.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3iAiAqMtvg

While the demo is shown performed on Windows 11, it is good for backing up on 
MS Windows 7 and up.

Re: [GNC] Thank you to developers

[Derek Atkins]

Which import mechanism did you use?
For QIF, there is a mapper from QIF Account and Payee/Memo to target
Income/Expense account.
For OFX and CSV, the importer has a way to assign them, but you need to
right-click on each line to assign the account.

Re: [GNC] Split Actions

Now I am confused because I found the check box with the text that I quoted
under Edit > Preferences > General  as I stated previously.  John is also
