One of my nits to pick is the AR module:? if I create an invoice without
posting it, I can't find it unless I look at each of my 100+ members.? I'll
write an external program to prepare the invoices and keep them in a separate
file.? Then I only need to enter it into GNC as they are paid.

Will,
I think it is a case just of not only doing the right thing but being seen to
do the right thing. All is OK until
someone with an axe to grind sees the books when they are not yet in a
completed state. It is your protection against
accusations of fraud or misappropriation of funds etc. Pro

Hello,The "Accounts" tab shows running totals since day one starting the books,

which is the same amount as the "Sales" account, and that amount is the total

Your suggestion about a second person to handle the cash is a good idea. One of
my longstanding complaints has been that no one ever looks at any of the
finances except me. We are a group of about 300 members with maybe 20 that take
an active role in the organization. There is too much to do and
Samantha,
Powershell (Admin) just means Powershell with admin privilege. Starting it will
raise a User Authorization Escalation dialog box asking if you're sure that you
want Powershell to "make changes to your device". You don't need it for this
test, plain Powershell is fine. Yes, Powershell.
Here's what my accounting 101 textbook [1] says about cash receipts:
* A record of all cash receipts should be prepared as soon as the cash is
received.
* All cash receipts should be deposited intact in the bank, preferably by the
next business day. Cash disbursements should not be made from cash
As I said earlier, I am not an accountant just a volunteer keeping the books
for a couple of groups. Michael comments:
"and NOT currency sitting around undeposited (of course don't do THAT)."
I do do that and wonder why it is a bad idea. I frequently get incoming cash,
mostly from T-shirt sales.
I am going to jump in here because I strongly disagree with a lot of
this. I have used gnucash quite successfully with non-profits. But they
have different needs.
a) "Petty cash" is NOT "undeposited cash". And that's not what is
usually meant by "undeposited cash. Thus NOT the little individual
John, thank you for your continued support.
Before I try this can I just clarify two points:
I have a choice of Windows Powershell and Windows Powershell (Admin):
which should I choose?
And in the middle of your email I presume you mean "Powershell" (not
Poweshell as typed)?

Samantha,
Next, some command-line testing. You can use CMD if you like, but I find
Powershell to be a bit friendlier and easier to get to: Just right-click in the
Start menu and it's in the middle. Once you have a shell, cd to C:\Program
Files (x86)\gnucash\bin.
First you'll need to set your A
Bruce, what procedure are you using to search for the un-posted invoices?

Very interesting conversation.I supposedly learned Job Costing in Business

I agree with Don's comments and concerns about cash accounting. I live and work
in Mexico where it is not uncommon for people to insist on cash to the point of
not accepting a debit card. For major expenses, I will use an ATM to get nearly
the exact amount for those expenses and only
Thanks Will, Jean, and John for your jumping in, and your many good points

To Jean, yes, most important to me would be development of Job Costing,
