I think they are arguing about some bespoke backup schema. It was trivially easy for me, a reasonably new gnucash user, to move files to a new location on 1 computer, and then when my machine was rebuilt for windows 11, to copy files to a "new" computer too. The documentation for that is excellent.

[GNC] Importing Transactions

I am just starting with Gnucash. I was importing transactions one month at a time. January and February of 2024 went okay. They were balanced and reconciled.

[GNC] Beginner use case: Checking, Savings, Credit Card = how do I correlate a transaction in Checking Withdrawal to Savings Deposit or Credit Card payment?

I'm trying to figure out the very basics of managing a checking account, savings account and credit card in GnuCash. I downloaded a csv of all checking transactions for a year and imported them. They look good and match up with my check register. Then I downloaded my savings for a year into a s

Fundamentals this is double entry bookkeeping. Every transaction has at least TWO accounts associated with it, at least one debit and at least one credit. Read the introduction/tutorial as many times as necessary for you to absorb this concept, at least two accounts. Failure to specify th

The location of saved config values, saved reports, and other such items is O/S specific. Those need to be moved separate from the main file(s) that holds/hold you accounting book(s). I don't know the wiki location that references the various O/S locations. On Tue, Aug 13, 2024, 03:12 Mahon Finb

As Michael stated, you don't truly understand double entry bookkeeping. During the import process, you specified the main checking/savings/cc account. But it appears you failed to identify the other account for each transaction. If you had done that, there is a fairly good chance that: 1. The i

I wrote the OP, and it was NOT about moving to a new machine; it was about having the "working" files (the .log files and the backup files) stored in a different directory than the main file. The answer to your question has two parts: First, the financial data is all stored in one file, and you j

If you have a lot of these, it may be better to start over. Your checking-to-savings transfer should be ONE transaction with the money coming out of the checking and going into the savings (I am avoiding using the terms "credit" and "debit" because some people find them confusing). Anyway, you wil

Michael - from reading what he did, I think the problem may have been caused by importing checking, savings, and credit cards separately instead of all together. Thus, the checking import couldn't find a matching transaction and thus used "imbalance" -- and the same thing happened with the savings

From what service are you retrieving the prices? One of the services only allows something like 5 prices, and then it puts a 1 minute delay in before it does the next 5. So, if you have 60 stocks, it will take over 12 minutes. On Tue, Aug 13, 2024 at 3:40 PM Fred Tydeman wrote: > I ran the com
