I do my best to make each transaction model the real-world event. So if
the transaction looks like 2 checks instead of one (when there was only
1) then I'd edit the original credit to checking to reflect the full and
proper amount and delete the second credit to checking and the
transaction sho
Hi Marilyn. I like your usage of sub-accounts within equity at least to
indicate that some balance of emergency savings should be considered, when
looking at your Balance Sheet. Like to be able to say there is X amount of
equity available beyond that amount set aside for emergency savings. Or to
Does GnuCash recognize unrealized gains/losses of investments such as
stocks, so that they would appear in an Income Statement for a given period
and in a Balance Sheet for a given date? And if so, how/where, and can one

Marilyn,
There should be no problem creating sub accounts of Equity at all but it is not
really clear that you would need to. I
have just created a sub account of equity and I have several existing sub
accounts of equity.

Here is a case where a little but of the history of double entry
bookkeeping might help you.
Originally (hundreds of years ago) there was just "assets",
"liabilities", and "equity". The other side of the transaction for money
coming in or going out was either "liabilities" or "equity". This ha

Thanks-- but my problem is that I do not treat items from these equity
accounts as expenses at all. In my former program it was called a "fund"
account and I could move funds in and out of the equity accounts without
affecting my monthly expenses. It was like an assets account but of course it

Hi Jean,
In my workflow it's not a drawback for me as I don't want matches
recorded, at least as we probably all do, I use Ebay and Amazon a lot.
And I end up buying things destined for a diverse set of accounts
(classifications) that can't be determined by the matcher. Perhaps five
to ten di
One drawback of your workflow is that GC does not learn how to better
match incoming OFX transactions to your accounts, because you're doing
that outside of the import matcher...
I guess you move them to UnAccountedFor2020 so you can go back to them
at a later time, and take your time importing

Devs and users,
I want to add a short text entry somewhere on many of my transactions
that are being imported and matched. Specifically if I bought some
goodie, dodad or whatnot from ePay or Amizoned I'd like to add what the
item was in my GNUCash check register.

Here's what the transactions can look like, e.g—
Simplest form - Prepayment, not applied to any invoices:
Cr. Checking
Dr. Accounts Payable
Payment on one invoice, remaining excess is a prepayment:
Cr. Checking
Dr. Accounts Payable (amount applied to one invoice)
Dr. Accounts Payable (remainin
While you can make any account structure you want, there's no need to do
so just for reporting purposes. Reports can show expenses (or anything
else) monthly, yearly, for just a few days, or one day only if you like.

That may not be correct. If you right-click the transaction, do you see
'Edit payment' or do you see 'Assign as payment' in the menu?
If you check the relevant Vendor Report, do you see the payment listed
appropriately? If you choose Options > Display Columns > Links >
