Hi,
I am trying to record cash dividend payoffs in gnucash. As per accounting
basics, the 'Retained Earnings' is the company's net profit (minus dividends as

I also read this - https://www.double-entry-bookkeeping.com/capital/dividends/
which explained the same steps that I did. Or did
Hi Justin,
while it is contrary to the advice given in the link you supplied, I've always
recorded dividend payouts as an Expense - but it is one of a handful that are
excluded from the corporation tax calc, as they are declared after tax / from
profits.
My accountant has never complained -

The "Retained Earnings" part of the Balance Sheet has nothing to do with

The whole point of OP's asking this question is how to cope with the fact
that the 3.x series ruins Windows for using the 2.6.x series except 2.6.21,

manual effort.
That is why some of us are so slow to update.

Money moves from right to left,
Oh yes, it does!
As mentioned in my other email to John Ralls, the reason I started this thread
in the dev mailing list is to figure out a fix for the software, at least for
the next release.
And I am not sure how did this topic get divided into two threads.

Renaming wperl.exe worked. Thank you for the help. Incidentally... I tried
running exetype.bat (as an administrator), but I got an error concerning not

exetype not having the right privilege, but I didn't investigate further.

Whilst that is true and the arrangement of named columns in GnuCash serves
as a reminder, it is still necessary for the user to decide on which account
row of the relevant column to enter transaction amounts,
Thanks for your comments I will fill a bug report.
After testing different approachs, checking preferences, and since all
