finance::quote does not produce results

Hi, I had gnucash working with finance quote, but for quite some time now it does not work anymore. I tried to figure out what the problem is, but I could not find it so far. In the following I will show you the output that some commands produce. >> gnc-fq-check ("1.47" "adig" "aex" "aiahk" "alp

Estimating budget not working

Hi, I am a long-time user of GnuCash and have a question regarding budgeting. I am on GnuCash 2.6.17. When I try estimate the budget, it comes up with 0 as the budget number despite there being over 18 months of data in my accounts. Why is this the case and can I get the estimate to work rather t

Fwd: What is the blue line all about?

Today I entered a transaction that is clearly within the dates set for the start of our fiscal year and the end of our fiscal year. These dates are: Start: 28.03.2017 and End: 01.04.2018 However, a blue line is drawn across the checking account above my entry of 26.03.2018 and below an entr

Nothing to do with fiscal year it just marks the difference between today and future transactions you may have entered. Cheers Dave H. On 26 March 2018 at 00:43, Anita Graves wrote: > Today I entered a transaction that is clearly within the dates set for the > start of our fiscal year and the e

Re: Budgets: showing total-to-date in budget period, and previous month totals only

I have attached a report which does this. I have attached ytd-budget.scm. I have this file in c:\Users\phill\.gnucash\reports. I then add this line to c:\Users\phill\.gnucash\config.user: (load "c:\\Users\\phill\\.gnucash\\reports\\ytd-budget.scm") This gives me a new "YTD budget" with 3 set

I guess I should have added, I’ve unposted and reposted invoices more times than I can count and all without any major issue. When you unposted, made the edit and then reposted, what was the result to make you think something wasn’t correct? Regards, Adrien > On Mar 26, 2018, at 7:20 AM, Maf.

Re: Amend a Typo in Description of Bill

Is this a bill or invoice? (Bills are FROM Vendors - you owe, Invoices are TO customers - they owe you.) The process is the same, but how you traverse the menus to get to them and the terminology makes a difference. First, do a search for the invoice/bill using the Business > Vendor/Customer >

Hi, David. I'm assuming I can install the new release in a different folder. My question was whether the install would mess up anything less obvious. The answer seems to be yes, but in preferences and data files rather than in program files.. So I guess I'll have to create a virtual machine to

Re: Amend a Typo in Description of Bill

If the bill is paid, it won’t show up in the reminder box. You also don’t need to pay from the reminder box. That is just a convenience. Do a search for the bill as I noted, does it show as paid? (is the Paid? column checkbox checked or not?) Open a process-payment window and pull up the vendor

Thanks to you all for your input and guidance. Mike got the right point here! I somewhat forgot in the beginning to create a job first and then associate it with every single customer (in my case all of them were buying spare parts from me). It took some time, but gettin' there. I have to check

Lori, The Opening Balances account is an account of type equity. *It is always the offset account for the opening balances of all other accounts.* Your procedure for starting to use Gnucash from the 30/9 is fine. The entry for the opening balance for your income and expense accounts at 30/9 will
