[GNC] Gnucash & Online payments

2019-05-18 Thread Walter Dowis
Hi all, I'm a Gnucash newbie. Does Gnucash offer the ability to write online payments, online bill payment directly within the Gnucash application from my bank's checking account? And will the payments be automatically recorded in the Gnucash ledger for the bank? If yes, how do I write an onl

I came accross this problem today after several years of using GNUCash with files housed on Network drives (Not usually NAS but drives on other network computers). In fact, I suspect but cannot be completely certain, that I have never stored a GNUCash file on, or retreieved one from, a local drive.

One small wrinkle MIGHT be that the original poster (Nathan T.

These benchmarks are always useful. Would you mind describing characteristics of your books? e.g. number of accounts, number of currencies/commodities, approx no.transactions etc? I'm sure 3.5 average-balance should be faster than prior versions. This may be moot if average-balance will be hidden

Nope. We only change dependencies in a major release, and anyway none of those are new dependencies. Since Ubuntu has a GnuCash3 package already you should be able to install all the dependencies with sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash as explained in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Lin

After reading the sections of the Guide David mentioned, and talking with a local accountant, you’d probably start by booking the current inventory as opening transactions. Anything acquired later would be booked between the payment account and whatever asset tracking account you are using. (pro
