What's the best way to model "in-flight" transactions?

2017-09-28 Thread replicon
Hey all, I've been using/loving GNUCash for almost a year now, and one thing I'm sure I'm doing wrong is how I'm showing credit card payments. For paying credit card bills, I just use my bank's bill pay. The bank is different from the credit card provider, so there's some "in-flight" time for tha

One way to think about the float is to, well, not think about it. When you pay you credit card company with bill pay, those funds are "gone" in the sense you really should not use them for another transaction. So, enter the transaction as you have been doing. Your gnucash bank balance will be corre

The way I handle this is to create a subaccount of my bank accounts labeled “Bank1:ACH” for automated clearing house. Then the transactions look like this (where Db means debit, Cr means credit, and assuming credit card is paid $1000.00) Bank1 is an account of type bank (an asset), ACH is a subac

Permissions on Mac

What permissions should the .gnucash files have on Mac? Some seem to be 644 while the older ones seem to be 777. I copied them all to Mac from Linux using a FAT32 disk, so I’m not sure they all came over properly. 777 seems wrong, but 644 seems not enough, though the .gnucash file on my Desktop
