Where did you download GnuCash from? The correct location is gnucash.org. It is not in the App Store. Regards, Adrien On 11/27/22 7:43 PM, ph hermes wrote: i installed 4.12 for mac. having same issues. can't create a transaction report. i can open the initial window, choose options, get to sc

Re: [GNC] Should one use Accounts Payable if a vendor is paid immediately ?

Either you use the business features for a transaction or you don't. You can certainly enter a *regular* transaction for any entity, including vendors you normally raise a bill for first, but as noted, those regular transactions won't show up in a Vendor Report. But you can certainly pay such

ph, open your gnucash file and click on "Help" then "about" to find the version you have installed. 4.12 is the most recent release and you can find it at gnucash.org. On Sun, Nov 27, 2022 at 7:14 PM ph hermes wrote: > i looked on the apple store and there was no gnu cash. i thought 4.2 was > m

Re: [GNC] Should one use Accounts Payable if a vendor is paid immediately ?

I'm not comfortable with "best", because it depends on what reports you want ultimately. But the two transactions I gave in my earlier mail preserve maximum flexibility, and for that reason I personally do it that way. Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://BrownMath.com On 2022-11-27 16:32, Dr. D

It may be a failure of imagination on my part, but every way I can think of to report a combination of transactions, some of which are in a particular account and some of which are not, is a lot more work than just having the desired transactions in the account in the first place. Stan Brown Tehac

Re: [GNC] Should one use Accounts Payable if a vendor is paid immediately ?

What David says is true. However, if you create two transactions: Debit to Expense:something Credit to AP:this vendor and Debit to AP:this vendor Credit to Assets:Cash or bank account then the vendor's account will show the whole history of your purchases from that vendor.

Re: [GNC] Should one use Accounts Payable if a vendor is paid immediately ?

David, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable are really intended for the situation where the vendor is extending credit to you or vice versa. It's main advantage is as a tool to manage what is owed to you and what you owe to maintain cash flow.  If you receive payment immediately all you need

[GNC] Should one use Accounts Payable if a vendor is paid immediately ?

I have put a list of vendors into GnuCash. In the case of a couple of companies (RS and Farnell), I do have business accounts with, but previously I just paid with a debit card. For most other vendors, they want payment in advance. For example, anything I buy from eBay with buy-it-now usually has t

Thanks for the pointers John.  Looks like the duplicate transaction issue present in 4.8 has been fixed in 4.12.  The double free fix works too. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubs
