Yes, that worked.
Thinking back, I believe I did that originally when I did it the first time
in v3.8.
Now I wonder why it took me so long to figure it out again, but this is the
way to go, one single opening split transaction and that makes it work, and
if you mess up the difference will show up

I have never used the opening balances from the wizard. I setup the COA
and then enter one multi-split transaction to load all the balances as
the first transaction in the file. Looks like you would only have 8
splits (I have 30-50 in my initial transaction). Since the transaction

in the 3.8 version I had:
My Opening balances transaction on 1/1/20 was

Credit
Assets: Current Assets Checking:$A
Assets: Current Assets Advance/Loan:$B
Equity: Opening Balances: $C

There is nothing special about opening balances. They are just regular
transactions that the fresh start wizard makes for you.
You should be able to edit those transactions just like any other.
But I don't understand what the problem is. Even the Retained Earnings
account would have an 'openin

Well, A/P is a type of liability anyway. And it should be under the
bigger "Libility" parent account in
Maybe what you're missing is that Opening Balances accounts are created as
placeholders by the Hierarchy Assistant. Before you can create the balancing
transaction you must select the account on the Accounts page, click the Edit
button in the toolbar, clear the Placeholder checkbox, and click OK
Hi Mattia,
thanks for the quick response.
And of course you're right. I had classified it as a "Liability", which,
in my opinion, might be setup a little confusing.
Thanks a lot :)

I am sitting here trying that, but in the setup, when you edit the
accounts, it only allows posting of the entire account to "opening
balances." I can't see a way to split it and put the appropriate amount in
Retained Earnings. In the 3.8 version I was able to somehow correct the
balances, I believ
It happens to be a loss.
I seem to be missing something. For all the other accounts, I simply post
to the account with the balancing transaction going to Opening Balances.
But because of what I described, I get Opening Balances $x and Retained
Earnings $0. Nothing I can think of gets the money fro

When you transfer account to a new set of books, you would record the opening
balances of the Asset and Liability accounts against the Opening balances
entries in Equity.
Asset entries will be a debit to the asset account and a credit to the opening
balances account and Liabilities a cre
David,
All of my scheduled transactions are set to be created on or about the 1st of
the month so the balances show what I can count on for the month. Works best
for me. On occasion, when I get paid early, I would just post the income early,
on the day it is received. It’s really just my Arm
Thanks Gyle, What I was trying to communicate is that I already use the create

transactions to create up to 25 days or more in advance. They all post on or

Hi GnuCash Community,
hopefully all are well.
I wanted to test out GnuCash, including posting a bill.
Unfortunately, I am unable to select an A/P Account to post the bill to.
The dropdown in the post modal is simply blank.

Some files open without problems but some do not.

Rodger,
Even though I agree with your initial premise that it would be good to be able
to select a scheduled transaction and post it early without actually editing
the scheduled transaction, I have found that the create in advance function
works very well as an alternative. In my earlier email,
This was my thought also.
If you don't want the scheduled transaction to be created in advance every
month, then leave it set to zero. When you do want to create early, change
the create-in-advance value to a large enough value that it will create
today, run the scheduled transactions, and then ad
Roger,
I still don't understand.
If you set your scheduled transactions to be created 45 days in advance, then
your January 1, 2022 transaction will be created in mid-November (with a date
of 01-01-2022), and you can change its date directly in the register at any
point after that. Why is th
Thanks Steve,
Kind of what I suspected. All my scheduled transactions are set to post on the
1st of the month regardless of the date posted. Not worth the trouble to do
more than that for an occasional early payment. Yes, it would be a nice feature
that isn't essential and probably not worth
