[GNC] How to process a purchase made without paying VAT and add it as an investment to be later depreciated

2018-07-13 Thread Jeremy D
Hi, Someone on the #gnucash IRC channel suggested I write this message as I have quite a complex issue. Basically I've made a few purchases the last few months, most of which I paid without VAT. Here's a concrete example to help you better understand. I bought a laptop. This laptop cost € 2016,

I agree with Michael here. I can’t imagine the nightmare of trying to restore an entire system or migrate it to another physical machine and have to contend with dozens of different restore procedures, one for each application based on what those developers thought best. I’d much rather handle
