This bug has been intermittent over several versions of Ubuntu and several
versions of GnuCash.
Hardware: very old Dell XPS13 9333
O/S: Linux Ubuntu 25.04
GnuCash: v5.12 (2025-06-28) locally compiled from git repository.
Originally reported March 12, 2024.
Updated October 18, 2024 and chased
Yes and No.
They are in that account register as the most recent version of that
transaction. So in that sense they are stored.
However, if you modify it then you upset that existing entry and damaged
your accounting in the process.
So, the only way to "override" is to create a new transaction

Sounds like a Profit/Loss statement with the expense accounts set up into
the grouping your accountant wants. Then adjust the report to show only
those accounts and save it for next year.

I had to experiment with the fields to find that amount negated worked the

Make a copy of your file and run experiments using the different amount

switch back to your production file and move forward.

You should show the Balance Sheet at the start of accounting period
compared to Balance Sheet at the end of the accounting period. That with
the Income Statement covers most of the items you requested.
You might be able to get both Balance Sheet on one page with the multi

The answers depend on how you want to proceed. If the two Bitcoin accounts

their own file (sorta like having different spreadsheets) but using the

That is your choice. You can ignore doing anything and all the reports
will work correctly -- even the ones based on fiscal year.
But, if you want the equity portion to show the change in value on a yearly
basis in the Balance Sheet, then look at the close books option.

As Michael stated, you don't truly understand double entry bookkeeping.
During the import process, you specified the main checking/savings/cc
account. But it appears you failed to identify the other account for
each transaction. If you had done that, there is a fairly good chance that:

I suspect you have a transaction for the £107.29 that has already been
reconciled when it shouldn't have been. Probably for a different date. Go
get a transaction report for this account and sort by reconcile date. Look
at transactions reconciled after the last good reconciliation date.

Please plan a compressive backup strategy for your entire system. Include
email, Libre Office documents, other misc files and not just GnuCash.
That way it won't matter where files are "hidden" as you will have a
complete backup strategy that isn't specific to any particular application.

This comes down to building your chart of accounts (COA). You would be

Sounds right to me.
Remember that Asset and Expense accounts are Debit accounts. So Debit
increases and Credit decreases the balances in the accounts.
Liability, Income, and Equity/Capital accounts are Credit accounts. So
Debit decreases and Credit increases the balance.
