Re: [GNC] strange lack of exchange rates in a new currency cash account

Hi John, Every transaction is big enough to equal more than one cent. And the dong cash register starts with an ATM withdrawal of 2 million dong. In the Price Database, which I was not familiar with before, I see three entries, two of which are at zero value. The Account Summary now shows "₫5

Scott, The simple solution is to fix that split and remove or fix the 0 price entries in the pricedb. You should check your other VND transactions to make sure that there aren't any other 0-price splits. There's only one set of prices for any particular commodity pair so you'd have to make a ne

[GNC] Trouble building 5.3

2023-07-22 Thread Simon Roberts
Hi all, I'm looking to build GNC 5.3 on my Ubuntu 20.04 box. I did this as a trial run on a laptop with Ubuntu 22.04, where it went flawlessly. But, on this 20.04 "production" machine, the same process is failing. I don't want to upgrade this at this time if I can help it--it would disturb too many

But what if one has cash from two collections to go to the same account. I.e. a collection on 22nd July and a collection on 29th July both paid in at the same time? First of all, you are perhaps confusing when money/cash/check received with when deposited. Let's say the following events: a

Please, calm down, Bruce :) That was just an idea. If I knew Perl as much as I know JavaScript I'd submit a PR yesterday. (I know, I made a few modules for private use, they're on my GitHub – but it involved much much much more learning than actual writing, and it was long ago). Nevermind. H

Hi Folks, I bank with Wells Fargo and have done so for 30 years. I've used QuickBooks and Quicken for most of that time and they have worked out well. Regardless, I am not a fan of Intuit. I'm investigating GnuCash, and the thing I find most important is being able to synchronize
