[GNC] Handling Stock Spinoffs
Hello, I have searched the archive with no real resolution. I have several fairly simple stock splits to handle. I have done lots of reading and I think I understand the principles, but still don’t have a solid best practice for applying it in GnuCash. So for a simple (e.g.) 1 for 10 split, no cash involved, does anyone have any suggestions ?

Re: [GNC] Fwd: GNC won't open my data
Hi Bruce/GnuCash users, You bring up a lot of issues! https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mx - the Linux distro you are using seems to use Debian for its package management, so maybe there is an issue with the Debian pacjage of GnuCash...? What version of MX Linux are you using? https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnucash.GnuCash - have you considered using just the Flatpak verison of GnuCash? If that works well, that might solve your immediate issues. https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Using_Different_Versions.2C_Up_And_Downgrade - there might also be an issue with the previous version of GnuCash & the data file that you were using, if that version was of another release number. What version of GnuCash were you previously using? --- Thanks, Brad - https://www.facebook.com/brad.morrison.12327/ & https://norcal.social/@BradMorrison On 2024-12-12 19:32, David Carlson wrote: > Bruce, > > Derek's response may not have been copied to the list.

Process payment on the invoice with £1910, which will leave the £30 showing as owing in the AR Ageing report... then process payment again for the £30 on the later date. 0.02 Maf ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] Payment received in two parts
I sent a customer in India a quotation of £1960. They provide a purchase order for £20 less - ie £1940. I think they had a cheek, but I said I would accept it if they paid all bank charges. We received £1910. I assume that they had paid no bank charges at all. I have not received any letter from the bank saying any charges have been paid. Eventually, after quite a bit of argument they paid the £30 bank charges by bank transfer. So now the amount credited to the bank account is correct, but it’s in two transactions. How is the best way to handle this in GnuCash?

Re: [GNC] Handling Stock Spinoffs
My answer, which I've been doing for a while, is to go the the originating company and have the cost taken out of there and use that as a buy cost of the spin-off. For example Berry just recently spun off Magnera. so the cost basis, as reported by your brokerage, for Magerna I handle as coming out of Berry and then being used in a "buy" of Magnera. This handles the cost as a return of capital from Berry. The only complication, if any, is cash in Lieu for fractional shares of the spun-off company. This I finessed as a dividend from Magnera. This gets it e.g. 34 shares Magnera was spun off with a cost basis of $400.00, so $400.00 was put as coming from Berry. I hope this is clear. Ron B.
