Hi David.
Thanks for your feedback - along with all other replies and posts in this
thread! :-)
I will think about whether I want to consider the shipping expense as part
of the value of the goods I bought or not. I understand the difference and

Chris's actual question was important to me.
Does the code actually do something different for different 'types' of
assets/liabilities? If so, what?
Given the answer, is there a way to turn off all of that Increase/Decrease
stuff and have gnucash simply say Debit/Credit in all headings instead, f
Yup!
Edit -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Use formal accounting labels
(Which I found by tracing the code from the table of debit strings upwards,
and found a test against GNC_PREF_ACCOUNTING_LABELS)

Hi all.
On MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 I've just followed the instructions from the GnuCash
documentation to install the Finance::Quote module.
After finishing without errors, I tried to use it but it won't initialize -

Flavio,
My comment is purely from the perspective of a non-buiness activity and
Michael's Chris and Murugan's comments re shipping are definitely valid
and would apply particularly where there is any intention to resell
items purchased for profit and can be applied even in the private case

Flavio,
What did you actually do? Do you by any chance have a perl installed that isn’t
from Apple, perhaps HomeBrew or MacPorts? Is your MBP an Intel or Apple Silicon
one and did you install the GnuCash that matches the architecture?

Or in the case of reselling (which really is what we are doing when buying
an item and eventually selling it) - I bought some diecast cars off an
online seller. The price of each unit came in where I could make a profit
selling it.
However, each item had taxes, shipping and handling. And in resell
Thanks for this, Ross. I asked a similar question in July, but your look
into the code gave a much better answer than I got.
It would be very nice if this information can be added to section 2.8.2
of the Tutorial and Concepts manual.

Put differently, it's not a 12 dollar item. It's a 24 dollar item.
So you are correct, the item needs t
As the GnuCash help page suggests, not all assets are equal, in that there
exists different levels of asset liquidity.
One use of this is the presentation of assets on the balance sheet. The greater
the liquidity of an asset, the closer to to top the asset is listed.
Personally in GnuCash I ass
Thanks.
I will continue looking it at this way.

Inbound shipping costs (freight-in): If the shipping charges are for
transporting raw materials or inventory to your business (i.e., costs incurred
to bring goods to your warehouse or manufacturing facility), these are
typically included in COGS. These costs are part of what it takes to get the
Is it really the case that the _only_ impact of account type is to change the
headings in the GUI?

Perhaps I'm being overly dense here...
Cash, Bank Accounts, etc are sub-elements of Assets.
So certainly, GnuCash treats assets the same - an asset is an asset.
But once you divide assets up - in any way - you are treating them as
different things... therefore,

Wll, not completely. The actual question was "how does GnuCash treat
accounts (like Cash, Bank, or Credit) differently than the base accounting

By the way, "multi-account transactions" would be better named "split
transactions"; I kept thinking you were writing about accessing GnuCash
from multiple user accounts.
Anyway, it's an interesting concept... I don't know that I keep value of
what things are "worth" to me -- I have some priceless
The question was not a theoretical one, it was a practical one. I agree,
theoretically, you would expect GC to treat all AssetClass accounts the
same. In fact, in object-oriented coding, it's best practice to have a
parent class that you'd derive the child classes from, so that association
is enfor

thought "I paid 220 for this guitar, even though 20 are for shipping, so to

value to the goods).

Hi John.
I installed GnuCash with HomeBrew. I did not manually install Perl - it was
already there:
me@MacBook-Pro ~ % perl -v
This is perl 5, version 34, subversion 1 (v5.34.1) built for
darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
