Thanks, this solves my problem.
It seems that changing all at once works.
I can select all transactions during import and then change the
Transfer_account for all.
In the final step I click Apply to finish the import process.

Nate,
Here’s how I’d approach this.
If it doesn’t already exist, create an AR account as type ‘accounts
receivable’. This is important, as assigning it that type, the Business
Features will recognize and use it. (as opposed to just an ordinary Asset type
account) Note, you can only have *one*

I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to handle owner contributions and
distributions in gnucash. I understand them in concept but I'm just confused
as to how the accounts get set up.
My 1st thought was to create an asset account called Owner Contributions and
another called Distributio
Speak to a local CPA for details for your situation and jurisdiction, but from
what you can find in a basic accounting text book, generally both contributions
(capital investments) and distributions (draws) are equity accounts.
The tree would look something like this:

What I was referring to is the checking account I use for my business. When I
make what the bank sees as a deposit, I need to account for it in my books.
My books includes an asset account called Business Checking. Wouldn't that
deposit be considered a credit? Based on what you've described, i

Deposits into a checking accounts are debits in the books of the entity that
holds the account as an asset. (to your bank, your account is their liability)
Debits increase assets. Credits decrease them. (same goes for Expenses, but
reverse for Liabilities, Income & Equity)

Using 3.6 on Ubuntu 19.04. Is there some setting that sets the minimum
width the Gnucash window uses? I like to snap GC on one half of the screen
and have a browser with my bank website on the other half while I am
recording transactions. This works fine on my desktop with 1920x1080
resolution. But

I don't think we are attempting to give accounting advice per se. GnuCash
has two ways of dealing with retained earnings:
1 Formal book closure operation in which income and expenses are closed to
an equity account which is most often referred to as Retained Earnings and
from which disbur
I do both.
I have a sole proprietorship that shares the same books with my personal
activities. At least in this state (Washington, USA), it is just me
doing business using a trade name. But, the trade name and I are the
same legal entity. In that case I just opened another checking account

I’m curious about using sql scripts for read and update operations on Gnucash

could be accomplished using XSLT or XQuery.
Has anything along these lines been done?

If I recall, the general advice is you can read, but don’t write.
GnuCash is not yet a true database app. (that is a long term goal) Until then,
