Chris:
First, hopefully without "piling on" too much, I'd echo and emphasize
that GnuCash developers do this for nothing except our thanks in return.
Us mail list users' replies are the same deal, altho with far less time
given than the developers, God love 'em!
We who use GnuCash pay nothing
Interesting idea overall. Being able to connect with other capabilities
is interesting, but only if it's totally optional, and does not degrade
GnuCash's current focus on, and excellent solution for, simple
debits+credits accounting and reporting.
Commenting on one specific part of this - movi
I'm treasurer of our church and keep the books on GnuCash.
It's a terrific solution, kudos and my heartfelt thanks to the dev's and
the whole team.
I do my work remotely on my own computer (Xubuntu 22.04, GnuCash 5.9
Flathub). (I also keep a couple other GnuCash books on my machine.)

I also have a need for something like this, and get it done by putting a
piece of identical and unique text into the description of each
transaction which I want to be part of a particular "class."
I run the Transaction Report (click on Reports, Transaction).
Select the appropriate accounts (fo
Hi Daniel,
As Treasurer of our church, I do something very similar.
This is how it works:
- A parent asset acct 1120 is called "Checking acct after reserves"
- a child acct 1121 is called "Checking acct"
- another child acct 1122 called "Reserve for property tax"
- another child acct 1123 call
Hi Daniel,
I apologize if this is a duplicate - I sent it yesterday, but I didn't
see it show up in the subsequent emails.
This is similar to the "liability" approach. But it works better in my
case because all the numbers I (and others) want to see are grouped
together in the assets section of
Thank you Fred, you nailed it - the "old" checking acct (the one I want
to delete) is Type=Bank.
The "new" checking acct into which I want to roll the txn's from the old
acct was Type=Asset.
And thanks for all the other responses as well.
Next ... to learn how to help revise/expand this page-
<< Is the missing account set to Placeholder? >>
... no, it is not ... still, thanks for coming back on it.

I'm on Flathub 5.4.1, on Xubuntu 22.04 (xml db).
I tried to delete a closed checking acct, and move the transactions to
another checking acct.
When in the "Delete Acct" dialog box, I get the button to move
transactions to another acct, and GnuCash offers another asset acct -
but not the one
I do this using the "Export" choice in GnuCash, saving the report as an
html file on the desktop, then right-click + open with LibreOffice Calc.
In addition to what Hop said below about ticking the box for:

I usually do multi-column Statements of Activity and Position.
I have been using Custom Multicolumn because that sorts in order of

Is there a way to sort the Income Statement-Multicolumn by acct code?
That would save some time setting up the several reports.

I wonder if Reports>Transaction Report might do it, with this option -
- Click "Edit options", go to "General" tab
Change "Date Filter" to filter on "Date Entered"
Set start date = the date on which you sent the file to your
accountant
... end date= the day you're doi
I'd suggest *NUMBERING* the expense accounts - the field is called
"Account Code."
Get to it by editing the account, in the account tab.
Number the accounts in the sequence in which you want to see them.
Most often, accounts are numbered in "layers", corresponding to parent +
subaccount relation
From Intuit:
"Intuit Interchange Format (.IIF) files are ASCII text, TSV

One way is to schedule a transaction to be created before you import the
bank record. Then match the imported bank record to the scheduled
transaction. The amounts on payrolls are often pretty consistent from
one payroll run to the next, so it might match automatically, or you
might have to sel

IMHO, one of the great and beautiful advantages of GnuCash over
Quickbooks Online (which I must use to do our church's accounts) - is
that GC opens basically instantaneously. There's no network latency, no

When you BUY something using paypal, the SELLER pays their fees, not
you.
So recording a purchase for which you paid using paypal is no different
than any other purchase:
Debit: expense (or asset, if you're buying something that you'll
recognize as an asset on your balance sheet)
The card, with a cash value on it, is an asset - probably best
described as a "prepaid expense."
The fully accurate way to account for it:

I think it may be TIMING which is confusing it - - - like this:
Keep in mind the basic fact that a Balance Sheet measures Assets
Liabilities + Equity as of a specific MOMENT - a POINT - in time.
But Income and Expense can only be measured OVER A PERIOD of time,
since they are MOVEMEN
GnuCash will do the accounting fine.
It won't do the equipment, RMA, and inventory tracking.
I suspect it'll be very hard to find a software which integrates these
other functions with accounting - because of that, if it were me, I'd
use GnuCash for the accounting, and look for other

You can hold other "commodities" (in addition to currencies) in

Hi - I'm using GnuCash for personal finances.
