I'm guessing your understanding of how to use GNUCash is sufficient to
accomplish whatever is best for your situation. Your question is more about
what's best for your situation, and while you did not mention it directly, you
also want to make sure that the information that you get is worth the

Boniforti,
I am not a maintainer/moderator of this list.
The challenge with accounting questions is the accounting standard being used.
For someone who is new to accounting, it seems as though there should be one

GnuCash is run and maintained by volunteers. I'm betting that the person who
maintains the webspace (GnuCash.org) will update the main page during the next
few days.
I am very grateful for the effort the volunteers expend. I am not one of the
developers, but I've been known to spend time tryin

Also the "anchor" is not very strong, as I changed the split account that was

I would consider this a bug. It's definitely not a feature,

The basic challenge here is that early in a loan's history the principal
balance is at its maximum, so the interest portion of the payment is also at a
maximum. The last payment is where the principal balance is at the minimum, so
the principal portion of that payment is at a maximum.

I applaud your effort to advance your financial accounting. With that out of
the way, there are good reasons how professional accountants can help
individuals. There are a myriad of horror stories about how transactions could
be structured differently, while accomplishing the same ob

Fred,
The basic challenge here is that you don't seem to know how data gets into your
GnuCash database. There are some very crafty people reading this list, so I'm
not going to exclude the possibility that one might be able to explain how
different currencies were entered into your GnuCash data
If I found something of value that was included in a past transaction, such as
that nice William Woodard artwork in the attic, then I'd adjust the description
of what was purchased as 1 house and a couple of paintings. Other than the
memo, as appropriate, I would not make a journal entry to equi
A financial gain on the paintings, yes, but here in the US whether it's a
taxable event if other paintings were purchased with the money is about the art
of 1031.

One question you're asking is about the cost of goods sold (COGS), and how to
determine what's included and excluded. There are two directions of freight,
inbound and outbound. In the US inbound freight is generally included in the
COGS and outbound freight (to the customer) is a cost of sales (

For whatever reason, we live in a world where location does matter, and the
value of a good changes with its location.
If the value of a good did not change with location, there would be no shipping.

You're getting into an area where you have choices to make. There is nothing
particularly wrong with separating the freight, and maybe that's important to
you. At the same time, maybe it's not important, and the work is not worth any
benefit. Is there any benefit to you to separate the freight?
In terms of what relevance is FASB, or some other accounting standard, if there
