Hi again, folks! This message is about ‘earmarked’ funds for the religious
organization for which I keep the accounts. It is a corporation without share
capital but not a non-profit corporation. We are in Cyprus and the laws here

Hi Anita.
why would you expect a change in the opening balance account?
At the start of the year, you have some money (say €100), which shows up in an
asset account as you say, transferred from Equity:OpeningBalances.
You spend most of the money - so asset drops to €14, and expenses:whatever is
Well, I just discovered an error in my judgment!
Friends, I did not go back to the previous year’s accounts to see how I took
the cash advance in the first place. And because I did not carry forward the
balances in the asset accounts, I did not correctly record these balances in my
new account

It is 'possible', but its a naive sort of lock. It looks good, but the
problem is that it is open to hacking. Mike Novack has made annual

Hi Anita,
sorry if I missed your point.
It is quite a few years since I started a new year with an empty file, but
IIRC, the only way to carry account balances forward is to manually create the
transactions to Equity:Opening Balances in the new, blank file.
So all your asset & liability accoun
Maf, I have already created an account summary of the previous file, so have
the balances forward to enter in the new one and don’t mind using the
Equity:Opening Balances account, but I also have separate asset subaccounts
under that for cash, bank account (current), etc.
I will then manually e
Hi Anita,
That sounds right to me - unless anyone knows of an automated way to do this
in a more recent GC - last time I started a new year empty boo was probably
still in the GC 2.2.x days, and there's been a lot of changes to GC since
then!
Maf.

Hi,
I was in Italy and I wanted to know my expenses there. I paid both by cash
(EUR) and with a card (in CZK, my home currency). I tagged my expenses in
Italy and succesfully found all the transactions with "Find...". From the
"Search Results" I proceeded with Reports -> Account Report. It seem

I am astounded at the amount of help you dear people offer! Thank you very
much.
After glancing at all the replies, I have decided to back away from any idea of
‘closing the file’ for the previous year. I say this because a) I am a novice
at GnuCash and b) I have an accountant who will take a

Maf thanks so much!!! Helpful certainly. But I don’t understand IIRC, YMMV
and HTH.
How is it possible to keep the same file moving from one year to the next in
the same file? How can I turn over the accounts for one year only to an
accountant? How can you compare side by side if everything

Please check your version of gnucash - most recent version is 2.6.16. It's
best to keep up to date.
Tou can't delete an invoice - but if it's left as not posted then it won't
show in any of the accounts. It's a bit annoying but it's always been that
way AFAIK
Thx Nelson – Let me try filling in the header row & see if it helps with the
customer number at all. That is the central issue right now.
When I post invoices on June 1, I don’t want all 34 to go to C001 (or whoever
is first on the list). So I’m trying just these two customers to see if I can
Nelson – OK, I just copied your exact header row and tried importing but with
no ID’s (Invoice Number blank) – I got errors that No ID Set (or something like
that).
So, I plugged in Invoice Numbers – and it worked. 2 invoices to 2 users,
perfect, just as you would expect. I then posted both a

If you google "gnucash counters" or look in the online tutorial guide you
might find some hints that may help you get that aspect working.
I guess having a header row for the invoice import forces all the optional
fields as having blank values and also forces the
