It is often caused by pressing the Enter key prematurely. Adrien knows
that, I'd just like to suggest it here, so you can watch what

Peter,
Their are a couple of preference entries which can help make things a bit
clearer. Under the Edit Preferences dialog in the Register defaults there are 3
options basic Ledger, Autosplit Ledger and Transaction Journal. These control
how a transaction is displayed in the register for an accou

Based on your description, I can see that you understand the concept but
run into some peculiarities of the user interface.
One is the transaction autotill or autocomplete (not sure what the official
name is). I assume you start with a new transaction in your checking

Pete,
You're on the right track. If the transaction disappears after you press
return to commit it, it sounds like you are not entering this transaction
from any of the registers involved, or if you are in one of the registers
involved the date you entered is out of the range of dates displayed f

I think you need to step back and understand the way in which double entry book
keeping/accounting works. There is a section labellsed basic in the Tutorial and
Concepts Guide which explains the basic concepts.

Thanks Michael! Yep, makes total sense (I do accounting work as part of my day
job, so I understand double entry). I played around with making an opening
balance entry, but things are still way off. Sigh. Now I’m gonna have to get
creative and figure out what didn’t import correctly via QIF…
One quirk I noticed about opening balances is that that account seemed to be
locked. When setting up a new account you could set the opening balances, but
you couldn't change them later. I had to go into the account editor and unlock
the opening balances account.

Steve,
I switched from Moneydance as you did about six months ago. The
conversion went fine for me except the account balances were off. To
correct for that I just went to each account that was off and entered an
opening balance, at the very beginning of the ledger, for the amount
that was it
Hello Steve. Welcome to GnuCash!
While I'm not an expert, in my experience, an opening balance is just a
normal transaction. There are typically two splits. (1) is a deposit into
the account, and (2) is a withdrawal from the Equity:Opening Balances
account. Remember GnuCash used double entry a
Hi!
I’m just getting started with GnuCash and have imported my QIF file from
Moneydance. Excited to take it for a spin!
My question is regarding beginning (opening) account balances. Moneydance has
an opening balance field in the account setup window, but evidently that field
isn’t accessible
All the account data is in a single file, whose name depends on what
you called it when you did the first save, something like
myaccounts.gnucash. If you have moved that file then when you open GC
it will try to reopen the original and will show an error when it
can't find it. Just ignore that err
Thanks,
That was the answer I was looking for
However I now have a more serious problem; in the process of trying to move all
the GnuCash files and application to their own directory, I have lost all the
work I have done the last 3 days
the application has lost links to all the accounts

Hi George,
How you record these items will depend a great deal on the exact nature of
the item and the nature of the future benefit you receive from them.
In the case of a pension the future value may be different from simply the

If your accounts are in different currencies, which they might be, each one
should be denominated in the correct currency. The parent accounts
(Assets:Current) probably also need to be set up separately for each
currency.
However, I am not a multi-currency user, so I may be wrong
