On the other test installation I also made the environment file change. - I tried this installation without any existing data file. - This time GnuCash loaded slowly but without the splash screen disappearing. Various messages appeared at the bottom of the splash screen with progress bar activity.

Lorrie, With regard to the files on the desktop, David Carlson's advice is sound. As for keeping the app on your computer, I suspect that you were opening gnucash from the downloaded disk image; you must drag gnucash.app from that image into the Applications folder to complete the installation.

The work performed should be handled on a vendor invoice between whatever expense account you have set up for the purpose and a liability account set up to ‘hold’ payments that are to be charged against their A/R (tuition and fees?) balance. This is because you owe them for work performed. It is

Eduardo, What you are describing is really part of an inventory/point-of-sales package rather than an accounting package. However, you can possibly manage something by combining a setting with a transaction report. Be sure when posting invoices to UNCHECK the setting to ‘Accumulate Splits?’ T

I too would be interested in the mystery solution. Personally I use the 24hour time without a separator—e.g. 5:32pm becomes 1732. To distinguish times from other numbers I use “T” at the end, thus: 1732T However, this breaks if there are actual numbers to enter like from a check. I have so few

Odoo is another option. It’s open source, and free, but they do try to talk you into buying their hosted version. (there is a Turnkey-Linux version which you can spin up quickly to play with using VirtualBox or VMWare) It’s probably more beast than you need though. On that note, check out the Tu

For individual invoices you should already be able to see columns for quantity and price per line item. As for a report that consolidates this data across various invoices - no, you’ll need to modify or write a new report, or save the invoices in html, parse the line items to csv, and then use
