Re: [GNC] Why is part of a split registered as "rebate" in the Transfer account?

Hi Stan. You're right - it's not GNC, it's my (lack of) accounting knowledge. I might give a repeated read of chapter 2 - in the meantime I am still thankful for all the people on this list who are giving advices and helping me (and others) out. F. https://www.instagram.com/boniforti_music https:/

Re: [GNC] Why is part of a split registered as "rebate" in the Transfer account?

Hi Richard. Why should my "Shipping costs" account have a "rebate" value of 50 (using your numbers)? I don't think it should be a rebate: instead it looks to me that it should be an expense. The "shipping costs" account is an expense type of account, therefore I think that I spent 50 Euros for shi

Re: [GNC] questions about the python bindings and pricdb add_price()

Yes, there is a limit of one price per day per commodity pair. Note that the code that enforces it isn’t smart enough to look at the other direction so you can have different prices for e.g. USD->EUR and EUR->USD and that will cause trouble in reports. There’s a price-source hierarchy, see htt

Re: [GNC] Why is part of a split registered as "rebate" in the Transfer account?

I think this is the only reference to the income into my checking account (from my initial post): "I now sold it and I got 1214 EUR for it. So I entered 1214 in the "Total Increase" column, with "Transfer" my EUR Checking account." Thanks anyways - probably it's best for me not to try and put eve

Re: [GNC] questions about the python bindings and pricdb add_price()

Thanks John. I read through the code. The price source hierarchy means new prices from PRICE_SOURCE_USER_PRICE would overwrite transaction and stock split price sources. I don't want that. I also don't like the sound of generally inserting prices of source PRICE_SOURCE_INVALID, which would be t

Is there a way to do that without knowing the USD cost of the groc.? If so, in which account should the transaction be made? I had already done it as two transactions before I asked this question. Doing it that way, the USD groc. cost is 40.13 (not your 36.16). The official USD to XCD conversion

Re: [GNC] Why is part of a split registered as "rebate" in the Transfer account?

Well, it's not really a "rebate"; it's called that because, in most cases, expenses are just expenses, and anything on the other side is a rebate. However, this is a credit to shipping expenses, because you will then later have an expense entry to zero it out... after all, since the buyer is paying

Re: [GNC] Why is part of a split registered as "rebate" in the Transfer account?

The wonder and beauty of GnuCash is that you can do whatever works for you... as long as the end results are correct. These days, I prefer to enter an action as one transaction with multiple splits; in the past, I used to use multiple transactions for an action. Remember, since the buyer is paying

Flavio, Even as a private individual you will be subject to at least taxation legislation regarding income. The business legislation may or may not apply depending on the level of activity. My wife is an artist, formerly making her living from exhibitions and painting sales. We are now retired a

If your previous entries are incorrect, you can fix them (if you so wish). Your shipping expenses will be non-zero if YOU pay the shipping. On Mon, Nov 25, 2024 at 1:48 PM Boniforti Flavio wrote: > Hi Richard. > Thanks for your replies. > I probably understand now what you mean. This is how my
