Re: [GNC] help lost data file

You could just move it up to root, so /gnu data. Or, having moved the one file you want to keep out of /ewr office data you could delete the remaining files and then move ewrofficedata.gnucash back to /ewr office data and remove gnu data. The name /ewr office data suggests that there might be m

If you only ran the report for one account and you just want to label it, you can use the Report Name field in the General tab of the report options. It is a free-form field. Regards, Adrien > On Apr 9, 2019, at 9:51 PM, Ron Eggler wrote: > > Thanks, guys! > I'm a GnuCash newbie regarding the

Thanks, guys! I'm a GnuCash newbie regarding the creation of reports & sorting and stuff. I think setting primary to Date by Month and Secondary to Date by year gives me what I needed. However, the totals don't say which account the numbers belongs to, how do I add that? On Sun, Apr 7, 2019 at 8:1

Re: [GNC] Posting a bad debt

Roger, You could create a sub-account of A/R something like ‘B2BTrade'. When the client does work for you, you ‘pay’ the bill they send you by crediting the asset, and debiting the relevant expense. When you want to apply this to their A/R balance, then ‘pay’ their invoice from you using that a

Re: [GNC] Posting a bad debt

Since people are trying to associate a non payment with an expense account, does not getting paid by a customer actually constitute an expense? I imagine in business, the big concerns with expenses are tracking where the revenue that doesn't become profit goes, and (at least in the US) getting tax

Re: [GNC] Posting a bad debt

I tested it, you can’t select expense accounts on credit memo line items either. It looks like the only method is what I outlined earlier, ‘pay’ with some other asset account, then transfer that amount to Expenses:Bad Debts. Regards, Adrien > On Apr 9, 2019, at 3:21 PM, Greg Feneis wrote: > >

In similar fashion, a favorite customer shorted me $0.50 on a timely big invoice payment. Rather than hassle them about $0.50, I created another invoice, but as I was creating the invoice I selected credit memo instead of invoice. I made a credit memo for $0.50 for that customer and job. Then I o

I think it was originally recommended to update to 2.6.19 or 2.6.21 first. (2.6.20 and .21 were snap fix releases for some critical problems with 2.6.19 which was originally intended to be the *last* of the 2.6 series) Regards, Adrien > On Apr 9, 2019, at 1:54 PM, wrote: > > "The main time y

Eureka! Thanks John. Yes I opened the file you noted and found the data. I made a new folder “gnu data” and saved the files as ewrofficedata.gnu. But maybe I erred in that the folder is a subdirectory of the old folder with the files you suggest I delete. Where should I locate the new folder?
