Ok, will do. BTW, do I do the same procedure to uninstall Gnucash per my other recent thread? Then install the maint release? I assume it's 'safer' to always uninstall and do clean install vs over install new releases. Dennis On Sat, May 12, 2018 at 8:30 AM, Geert Janssens wrote: > Op za

Thanks for your suggestion. Unless I'm misunderstanding, what you propose would work fine if one was not interested in keeping track of the current balance(s) in the various MRA accounts. I need to keep track of the balances, as I need to know which MRA account still has credit balances to which

Don’t do this unless you are going to create customers for each MRA and then create invoices when you file reimbursement claims. GnuCash treats the A/R account type specially and doesn’t like it when you create splits in one outside of the business subsystem. Regards, John Ralls > On May 13, 2

I’ll start off with this: you really need to talk to a CPA. Now, here’s how I would approach this... The answer you are looking for involves both real and virtual entries, so you’ll need more accounts if you want to do this all in GnuCash. (you could alternatively track the MRA balance in a s

I forgot to mention, my inclusion of ‘Assets:Receivables’ was NOT the special A/R account used by the business features, but a manually created Asset account. (of type Asset, NOT of type A/R) You could possibly use the business features instead as the other comments note, but you’ll have to do

Hi Randix, OK, I misunderstood the $1000.00. Here is how I would do it. 1 You have set up asset accounts for MRA and checking account. 2. You have set up an income account for MRA income. (I'm not sure if that is treated as income in US but it's going to work) 3. You have set up a medical ex
