<h1>Managing Your Money --> GnuCash</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ken Yamaguchi has kindly made available a Perl script that allows
|
|
||||||
Managing Your Money 2.x data to be converted into QIF format, which
|
|
||||||
can then be imported into GnuCash. It has been tested with 1.3.99 and
|
|
||||||
works well. The script is available
|
|
||||||
from:</P>
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
"http://www-cad.eecs.berkeley.edu/~gooch/mymdump.html">

|
||||||
http://www-cad.eecs.berkeley.edu/~gooch/mymdump.html</a></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Duplicate Transactions</h1>
|
|
||||||
Ken has also written a script that removes duplicate
|
|
||||||
transactions at the QIF level. GnuCash
|
|
||||||
is very strict about duplicates, and this script is useful for
|
|
||||||
successfully importing a succession of QIF files provided by a bank for
|
|
||||||
overlapping time periods, for instance.
|
|
||||||
This script is available from:

<h1>About GnuCash</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>GnuCash is a program to keep track of your finances. Its
|
|
||||||
features include:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><b>Multiple accounts,</b> which can be open at the same
|
|
||||||
time. Create an GnuCash account for each of your bank
|
|
||||||
accounts.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Each account maintains both a running balance and a
|
|
||||||
reconciled balance, so you can keep track of the checks that
|
|
||||||
have cleared your account.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b>A simple user interface.</b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you can use the register in the back of your
|
|
||||||
checkbook, you can use <tt>GnuCash.</tt></p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b><a href="xacc-recnwin.html">Automated Tools for
|
|
||||||
Reconciling Accounts.</a></b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>At the end of the month, open up the <b>reconcile</b>
|
|
||||||
window, enter the ending balance from your bank statement,
|
|
||||||
and check off the transactions that appear in the bank
|
|
||||||
statement. This agrees what you have recorded in GnuCash
|
|
||||||
with what your bank has reported, and makes it easier to
|
|
||||||
track down any discrepancies.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b>QuickFill.</b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you begin typing in the description field, and the
|
|
||||||
text matches a previous transaction, hitting <tt>TAB</tt>
|
|
||||||
will copy in that previous transaction. This is a handy
|
|
||||||
time saver if you regularly create similar
|
|
||||||
transactions.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b>Stock/Mutual Fund Portfolios.</b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Track stocks individually (one per account) or in
|
|
||||||
portfolio of accounts (a group of accounts that can be
|
|
||||||
displayed together).</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>There are tools to <a href="xacc-ticker.html">
|
|
||||||
automatically collect stock quotes.</a></p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Support for <b><a href="xacc-currency.html">multiple

|
|
||||||
(partial, still broken).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Bank accounts may be established in different
|
|
||||||
currencies, and trades at varying exchange rates may be
|
|
||||||
made, in much the same way stocks trade at varying
|
|
||||||
prices.</p>

<h2>Advanced Features</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>GnuCash offers some features not found in simpler accounting
|
|
||||||
programs.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b><a href="xacc-groups.html">Account Hierarchy</a></b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>A master account can have a hierarchy of more detailed
|
|
||||||
accounts arranged underneath it. This allows related
|
|
||||||
account types (<em>e.g.</em> - Cash, Bank, Stock) to be
|
|
||||||
grouped under one master account ( <em>e.g.</em> -
|
|
||||||
Assets).</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b><a href="xacc-double.html">Double Entry</a></b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Every transaction involves two accounts, and <em>each
|
|
||||||
transaction</em> is required to balance. This provides
|
|
||||||
assurance that the overall set of books will add up
|
|
||||||
correctly, and prevents out-of-balance errors
|
|
||||||
altogether.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b><a href="xacc-expense.html">Income/Expense Account
|
|
||||||
Types</a></b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Intuit's <a href="xacc-quicken.html">Quicken</a> product
|
|
||||||
has what they call "categories" that are used to track
|
|
||||||
incomes and expenses. These may be used to create
|
|
||||||
Profit/Loss reports.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b>General Ledger</b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Multiple accounts may be displayed in one register
|
|
||||||
window at the same time. This can make it easier to track
|
|
||||||
down data errors. It also provides a convenient way of
|
|
||||||
viewing a portfolio of many stocks, by showing all
|
|
||||||
transactions in that portfolio.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><b>Handling of <a href="xacc-currency.html">multiple
|
|
||||||
currencies</a></b></li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Versioning</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The versioning scheme for GnuCash parallels that of the
|
|
||||||
Linux kernel, where "even" sub-versions indicate versions that
|
|
||||||
are intended to be stable, only seeing maintenance to fix bugs,
|
|
||||||
and "odd" sub-versions indicate an "experimental" stream that
|
|
||||||
seeks to add enhancement.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The present "experimental" stream is gnucash-1.5.x, which is
|
|
||||||
somewhat unstable.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The latest stable release is 1.4.x; if you don't intend to
|
|
||||||
do development work, you should be using either this version,
|
|
||||||
or an older stable version. These versions are fairly stable,
|
|
||||||
with all currently known bugs fixed.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Once the 1.5.x series stabilizes, the next stable series
|
|
||||||
will be 1.6.x.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you wish to "hack" on the experimental version, you
|
|
||||||
should first start by reading through the <a href=
|
|
||||||
"projects.html">GnuCash Project Goals</a> document in order to
|
|
||||||
get some perspective on the overall design.</p>

project, taking it to version 0.9 by October 1997.</dd>

<dd>liked what he saw: the GUI was slick, the code was
|
|
||||||
documented and well structured, and it was all GPL'ed. And so
|
|
||||||
he re-wrote it: adding cell-widgets to XbaeMatrix, so that
|
|
||||||
the combobox and arrows would make an even slicker GUI,
|
|
||||||
rewrote the X-Accountant internals to add double-entry, an
|
|
||||||
account hierarchy, split out a transaction mini-engine, add
|
|
||||||
support for stocks, and spiff up the help menus. This was
|
|
||||||
version 1.0 as of January 1998. Since then, for version 1.1,
|
|
||||||
the engine was expanded and refined, and the register window
|
|
||||||
code completely redesigned and made mostly Motif-(and
|
|
||||||
GUI-)independent. Did some prototype OFX work.</dd>

<h1>Account Types</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P> GnuCash supports a number of different account types. You should
|
|
||||||
always choose the type that is appropriate for what you want to
|
|
||||||
record. If you're not sure, the explanations below should help you
|
|
||||||
decide.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dl>
|
|
||||||
<dt><b>Cash</b></dt>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>The <b>cash</b> account type is used to denote the cash
|
|
||||||
that you store in your wallet, shoebox, piggybank, or
|
|
||||||
mattress.</dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dt><b>Bank</b></dt>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>The <b>Bank</b> account type denotes a savings or
|
|
||||||
checking account held at a bank or other financial
|
|
||||||
institution.
|
|
||||||
<dd> Such accounts sometimes bear interest.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dt><b>Credit</b></dt>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>The <b> Credit</b> card account is used to denote credit
|
|
||||||
card accounts, whether involving floating lines of credit as
|
|
||||||
with VISA, MasterCard, or Discover, as well as others like
|
|
||||||
American Express that do <em> not</em> permit you to maintain
|
|
||||||
continuing balances.</dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>The introduction of <a href=
|
|
||||||
"http://www.visa.com/pd/debit/checkcard.html"> Check
|
|
||||||
Cards</a> where payments are withdrawn directly from a
|
|
||||||
checking account makes the selection less clear; it is
|
|
||||||
probably more appropriate to treat a "Check Card" as a <b>
|
|
||||||
Bank</b> account, as it does withdraw amounts directly from
|
|
||||||
such an account, not really involving any granting of
|
|
||||||
credit.</dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<DD> Note the ambiguity of AMEX and Check Cards. This shows that
|
|
||||||
deciding where to put accounts is not an exact science.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dt><b>Asset, Liability</b></dt>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd><b>Asset</b> and <b>Liability</b> accounts are used for
|
|
||||||
tracking things that are of value, but that are not so
|
|
||||||
directly translated into <em> cash</em> .</dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>For instance, you might collect the costs of purchasing a
|
|
||||||
house into an asset account entitled <b> My House,</b> or the
|
|
||||||
cost of a car into <b> My Car,</b> or collect together the
|
|
||||||
value of your <b> Computer Equipment.</b></dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>And the home mortgage or car loan would be represented by
|
|
||||||
liability accounts, <b> Home Mortgage</b> and <b> Car
|
|
||||||
Loan</b>, to be drawn down as payments are made on these
|
|
||||||
loans.</dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>If you hold assets for business purposes, their decline
|
|
||||||
in value over time might be treated as a deduction for tax
|
|
||||||
purposes, that deduction being called <a href=
|
|
||||||
"xacc-apprdepr.html#depr">Depreciation.</a></dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>On the other hand, if you own assets that <em>
|
|
||||||
appreciate</em> in value over time, such as real estate,
|
|
||||||
collectibles like paintings, and investments like shares in
|
|
||||||
companies, you may see them appreciate in value, and have to
|
|
||||||
recognize, for tax purposes, what are called <a href=
|
|
||||||
"xacc-apprdepr.html#appr"> Capital Gains.</a></dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dt><a name="stockacct"></a><b>Stock, Mutual Fund</b></dt>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>Securities that you invest in are a form of asset that
|
|
||||||
are normally acquired with the express purpose of receiving
|
|
||||||
income either in the form of dividends, interest, or <a href=
|
|
||||||
"xacc-apprdepr.html#appr"> Capital Gains.</a> There are a
|
|
||||||
multitude of securities markets around the world, and
|
|
||||||
securities that are widely enough traded can have pretty
|
|
||||||
concrete values that may be analyzed on a day-to-day
|
|
||||||
basis.</dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>
|
|
||||||
Stock and Mutual Fund accounts are typically tracked in
|
|
||||||
registers having three main columns:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Price</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Number of shares</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Cost</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
</dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>
|
|
||||||
In order to get <em> useful</em> information out of the
|
|
||||||
register, it is necessary to have multiple "views" on the
|
|
||||||
data so that you may assess such things as:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Total Values by security</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Gains/Losses by security</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Return On Investment rates by security</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd><b> Income</b> and <b>Expense</b> account types are used to
|
|
||||||
record income and expenses.
|
|
||||||
<DD> For example, if you deposit a paycheck in your bank account, you
|
|
||||||
should mark it as a transfer from an 'income' account type.
|
|
||||||
<dd> Marking income in this way helps balance the books: the change in your
|
|
||||||
net worth in the course of a few ekks, a few months, or a year, should
|
|
||||||
exactly equal your income (minus expenses) for the same period.
|
|
||||||
<DD> The value stored in the bank account contributes to your 'net worth';
|
|
||||||
whereas the income contributes to your 'profits'.
|
|

</dd>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dt><b>Equity</b></dt>
|
|
||||||
|
|

<dd><b>Equity</b> accounts are used to
|

store the opening balances when you first start using GnuCash
|
|
||||||
(or start a new accounting period).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<dd>Assuming that you've had a bank
|
|
||||||
account far longer than you've been using GnuCash, and assuming you
|
|
||||||
don't want to type in old transactions, you will want to type in a
|
|
||||||
non-zero <b> opening balance </b> into your bank account. This opening balance
|
|
||||||
should be marked as a transfer from an account of type 'equity'.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<DD> Alternately, if you close and reopen all your books at the end of every
|
|
||||||
quarter/year, the 'equity' will be your net-worth at the begining of the
|
|
||||||
period: it equal all assets minus all liabilities.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<DD> As time goes by,
|
|
||||||
you will have both income and expenses.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<DD At the end of the year, your net
|
|
||||||
worth will be the equity at the begining of the year, plus all income
|
|
||||||
minus all expense. This value will become, of course, the equity for
|
|
||||||
the next accounting period.

<title>Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable</title>

<body>
|
|
||||||
<h1>Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>A/R (Accounts Receivable) and A/P (Accounts Payable) are
|
|
||||||
advanced concepts that are used by businesses to record sales
|
|
||||||
for which they are not paid right away, or to record bills that
|
|
||||||
they have received, but might not pay until a little while
|
|
||||||
later.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>These types of accounts are used primarily when you've got a
|
|
||||||
lot of bills and receipts flowing in and out, and don't want to
|
|
||||||
lose track of them just because you don't pay/get paid right
|
|
||||||
away.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>For almost all home users, A/R and A/P are too complicated
|
|
||||||
and confusing to be worth the effort.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Accounts Receivable</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>First, let us examine A/R. After all, we really shouldn't
|
|
||||||
really <em>need</em> to relate to A/P because we always pay
|
|
||||||
<em>our</em> bills on time, don't we ? :-)</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>As a first approximation, let us assume we don't require
|
|
||||||
customers to pay <em>instantly,</em> in cash, but rather issue
|
|
||||||
them an invoice, and give them 30 days to pay the bills. (After
|
|
||||||
30 days, we can start charging interest and sending out
|
|
||||||
harassing letters :-)).</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>When we make a sale, the two accounts affected are <b>
|
|
||||||
Sales</b> (an income account) and <b>Accounts Receivable.</b>
|
|
||||||
Accounts Receivable is an asset, but it's not "liquid," as you
|
|
||||||
can't readily sell it, and it's certainly not cash.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Then when they come by to pay their bill, dropping off a
|
|
||||||
large sack of twenty-dollar bills (or, more likely, a
|
|
||||||
check/cheque), we transfer the amount from A/R to Cash.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The reason we do this in two steps is that we have decided
|
|
||||||
we need to do our accounting on an accrual basis and not on a
|
|
||||||
cash basis, because most of our transactions are not solely
|
|
||||||
based on cash changing hands, but rather based on <em>
|
|
||||||
establishing obligations.</em></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In more sophisticated operations, there may be a much more
|
|
||||||
complex sequence of documents generated and tracked:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>A customer sends in a <b>Purchase Order</b>, thus
|
|
||||||
authorizing a purchase.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>We set up a <b>Work Order</b> to schedule production of
|
|
||||||
whatever the customer is buying</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>We issue a <b>Shipping Notice</b>, to ship to goods to
|
|
||||||
the customer</li>

<li>Once shipped, we issue an <b>Invoice</b>, representing

</ul>
|
|

|
|
||||||
<p>The fact of there being four documents leads to there being
|
|
||||||
considerable wads of paper, and having these and other such
|
|
||||||
processes explains why large organizations tend to have hefty
|
|
||||||
bureaucracies.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>We report sales in our sales figures as soon as we make
|
|
||||||
them. Unfortunately, we may wind up selling some product to
|
|
||||||
no-good shady operators that we didn't know were shady, and
|
|
||||||
thus may get stuck with some "bad debts."</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In order to determine which parts of Accounts Receivable
|
|
||||||
appear to be most at risk, it is typical to arrange AR based on
|
|
||||||
the "ages" of the debts, commonly segmenting it into several
|
|
||||||
aging periods, of payments outstanding 0-30 days, those that
|
|
||||||
outstanding 31-60 days, 61-90 days, and then those that are
|
|
||||||
<em>way overdue.</em></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>At some point, it may become clear that a customer is never
|
|
||||||
going to pay what they owe, and we have to write it off as a
|
|
||||||
<b>Bad Debt.</b></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>At that point, it is typical to record an entry thus:</p>

|
||||||
<p>We could have reduced <b>Sales Income</b> instead, but
|
|
||||||
companies tend to prefer to specifically track the amount that
|
|
||||||
they're losing to bad customers.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><em>Warning: <b>Advanced Accounting Concept.</b> Bad Debt is
|
|
||||||
an example of a "contra-account." That doesn't refer to <b>
|
|
||||||
amounts paid to Nicaraguan rebels,</b> but rather the notion
|
|
||||||
that the account is an income account that is expected to hold
|
|
||||||
a balance opposite to what is normally expected, to be
|
|
||||||
counteract the balance in another income account. <a href=
|
|
||||||
"xacc-apprdepr.html#depr">Accumulated Depreciation,</a> used to
|
|
||||||
diminish the value of an asset over time, is another example of

a contra-account.</em></p>

|

||||||
<h1>Accounts Payable</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The scenario for Accounts Receivable, reversed, reflects how
|
|
||||||
Accounts Payables work; just switch customer with supplier, and
|
|
||||||
watch the roles reverse.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>If we buy materials "on account," accrual accounting
|
|
||||||
requires that we record that we incur the expense
|
|
||||||
immediately, and rather than reducing cash, we put the
|
|
||||||
"credit" into the <b>Accounts Payable</b> account.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Three weeks later, the invoice comes in, and we issue a
|
|
||||||
payment, and so <em>Debit AP, Credit Cash.</em><br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Prepaid Expenses</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Analogous techniques are also used for expenses that are
|
|
||||||
pre-paid.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you have to pay out down six months of rent in advance,
|
|
||||||
that is treated as an "accrued asset."</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
At the time of payment, you <em>Debit</em> <b>Prepaid
|
|
||||||
Rent</b> for the amount paid that is a <em>Credit</em> to
|
|
||||||
<b>Cash.</b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>While this puts an unfortunate dent in the Cash account,
|
|
||||||
it <em>does</em> show on the books as an asset, and there
|
|
||||||
are no more payments to make for the next six months.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Each month, the balance in <b>Prepaid Rent</b> would be
|
|
||||||
down via <em>Debit</em> <b>Rent Expense</b>, <em>Credit</em>
|
|
||||||
<b>Prepaid Rent</b>.</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Similarly, companies collect payroll taxes on behalf of
|
|
||||||
employees, and keep them in a special bank account.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><em>That</em> money is not the company's, so there is a
|
|
||||||
<em>Debit</em> to the <b>Cash</b> account on one side, and a
|
|
||||||
<em>Credit</em> to an Accrued Liability, namely, <b>Payroll
|
|
||||||
Taxes Payable</b>, on the other side.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>When the quarterly check to the Government so that they
|
|
||||||
can make <em>their</em> payroll, <b>Payroll Taxes Payable</b>
|
|
||||||
drops as does the balance in the <b>Checking Account</b>.<br>

<h1>Depreciation and Capital Gains</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>This section provides a treatment of the handling of
|
|
||||||
depreciation and appreciation of assets in GnuCash.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>It also provides a brief introduction to the related tax
|
|
||||||
issues.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><b>Warning:</b> <em>Be aware that different countries can
|
|
||||||
have <b>substantially</b> different tax policies for handling
|
|
||||||
these things; all that this document can really provide is some
|
|
||||||
of the underlying ideas to help you apply your "favorite"
|
|
||||||
tax/depreciation policies.</em></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Note that appreciation and depreciation of assets tend to be
|
|
||||||
treated somewhat differently:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<a href="#depr">Depreciation</a> is <em>usually</em>
|
|
||||||
recognized (the technical term is <b>accrued</b>) as an
|
|
||||||
expense on an ongoing basis, gradually reducing the value
|
|
||||||
of an asset towards zero.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Depreciation tends to only get calculated on assets that
|
|
||||||
are used for professional or business purposes, because
|
|
||||||
governments don't generally allow you to claim depreciation
|
|
||||||
deductions on personal assets, and it's pointless to bother
|
|
||||||
with the procedure if it's not deductible.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
In contrast, <a href="#appr">Capital Gains,</a> which could
|
|
||||||
be called <em>asset value appreciation,</em> are typically
|
|
||||||
<em>not</em> recognized until some time down the road when
|
|
||||||
the asset is sold, and at that <em>instant,</em> the entire
|
|
||||||
gain becomes income.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Unlike depreciation, governments tend to be <em>quite
|
|
||||||
interested</em> in taxing capital gains in one manner or
|
|
||||||
another.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>(As always, there are exceptions. If you hold a bond
|
|
||||||
that pays all of its interest at maturity, tax authorities
|
|
||||||
will often require that you recognize interest each year,
|
|
||||||
and refuse this to be treated as a capital gain. The
|
|
||||||
phrases <em>accrued interest,</em> or <em>imputed
|
|
||||||
interest</em> are often there to scare those that are
|
|
||||||
sensitive to such things...)</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Capital Gains - Asset Appreciation</h1>
|
|
||||||
<a name="appr"></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Appreciation of assets is, in general, a fairly tricky
|
|
||||||
matter to deal with. This is so because, for some sorts of
|
|
||||||
assets, it is difficult to correctly estimate an increase in
|
|
||||||
value <em>until you actually sell the asset.</em></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you invest in <a href="xacc-ticker.html">securities</a>
|
|
||||||
that are traded on a daily basis on open markets such as stock
|
|
||||||
exchanges, prices may be quite exact, and selling the asset at
|
|
||||||
market prices may be as simple as calling a broker and issuing
|
|
||||||
a <b>Market Order.</b></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>On the other hand, homes in your neighborhood are sold
|
|
||||||
somewhat less often, such sales tend to involve expending
|
|
||||||
considerable effort, and involve negotiations, which means that
|
|
||||||
estimates are likely to be less precise. Similarly, selling a
|
|
||||||
used automobile involves a negotiation process that makes
|
|
||||||
pricing a bit less predictable.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Harder to estimate are values of collectible objects such as
|
|
||||||
jewelry, works of art, baseball cards, and "Beanie Babies." The
|
|
||||||
markets for such objects are somewhat less open than the
|
|
||||||
securities markets.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Worse still are one-of-a-kind assets. Factories often
|
|
||||||
contain presses and dies customized to build a very specific
|
|
||||||
product that cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars;
|
|
||||||
this equipment may be <em>worthless</em> outside of that very
|
|
||||||
specific context. In such cases, there several conflicting
|
|
||||||
values might be attached to the asset, <em>none</em> of them
|
|
||||||
unambiguously correct.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Let's suppose you buy an asset expected to increase in
|
|
||||||
value, say a Degas painting, and want to track this. (The
|
|
||||||
insurance company will care about this, even if nobody else
|
|
||||||
does.)</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Properly tracking the continually-increasing value of the
|
|
||||||
Degas will require at least three, quite possibly the following
|
|
||||||
four accounts (plus a bank or cash account where the money for
|
|
||||||
the purchase comes from):</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>An <em>Asset Cost</em> asset account to track the
|
|
||||||
original cost of the painting,</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>An <em>Accrued Unrealized Gains on Asset</em> asset
|
|
||||||
account to keep track of increases in value, and</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>An <em>Accrued Gain On Asset Income</em> income account
|
|
||||||
in which to record the income side of the annual gains in
|
|
||||||
your riches, and</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>A <em>Realized Gain On Asset Income</em> income account
|
|
||||||
in which to record the realized income when you sell the
|
|
||||||
asset.</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The <em>accrued gains</em> likely won't affect your taxable
|
|
||||||
income for <em>income</em> tax purposes, although it could have
|
|
||||||
some effect on <em>property</em> taxes.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>The handling of capital gains in GnuCash</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h3>The Acquisition</h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The first thing you have to do is to create the <em>asset
|
|
||||||
cost account</em>, then transfer the sum you paid for this
|
|
||||||
painting from your bank account to this asset account to record
|
|
||||||
the purchase.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>A month later, you have reason to suspect that the value of
|
|
||||||
your painting has increased by $1200. In order to record this
|
|
||||||
you transfer $1200 from your <em>accrued gains on asset</em>
|
|
||||||
income account to your asset account.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Your main window will resemble this:</p>
|
|
||||||
<img src="appr-main1.gif" alt=
|
|
||||||
"Main window after purchase and appreciation">
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>and your asset account will resemble this:</p>
|
|
||||||
<img src="appr-asset1.gif" alt=
|
|
||||||
"Asset account after purchase and appreciation">
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h3>While You Hold the Asset</h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Asset appreciation is a sort of income but it is <em>
|
|
||||||
not</em> cash in hand.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The people that got "rich" in 1999 from IPOs of
|
|
||||||
Linux-related companies like Red Hat Software and VA Linux
|
|
||||||
Systems could verify this. They hold options or stock that are
|
|
||||||
<em>theoretically</em> valued at millions of dollars USD.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>That doesn't mean that they are actually millionaires; the
|
|
||||||
principal participants have to hold their stock for at least
|
|
||||||
six months before selling <em>any</em> of it. The fact that
|
|
||||||
they <em>can't</em> sell it means that while it may in theory
|
|
||||||
be worth millions of dollars on paper, there is, as of late
|
|
||||||
1999, no way for them to legally <em>get</em> those
|
|
||||||
millions.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h3>Selling the Asset</h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Let´s say another month later prices for Degas
|
|
||||||
paintings have gone up some more, in your case about $2500, you
|
|
||||||
estimate. You duly record these $2500 as an income like above,
|
|
||||||
then decide to sell the painting.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Now there arise three possibilities:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ol>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Your optimistic estimate of the painting´s value was
|
|
||||||
correct.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The income account is left alone (or perhaps gets
|
|
||||||
transferred from an <em>Accrued Gain</em> income to a <em>
|
|
||||||
Realized Gain</em> income account), and the recording is
|
|
||||||
rather like:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<table summary="BIGGAIN">
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

<p>And if any amounts had been accrued as <em>Accrued
|
|
||||||
Gains,</em> the asset amount should be closed out, offset
|
|
||||||
by a <em>negative</em> value for <em>Accrued Gain</em>
|
|
||||||
income. If the total that had been accrued was $5000, then
|
|
||||||
the transaction might look like the following:</p>

|
|
||||||
<p>Note that the two income accounts offset one another so
|
|
||||||
that the <em>current</em> income resulting from the
|
|
||||||
transaction is only $55. The remaining $5000 had previously
|
|
||||||
been recognized as <em>Accrued Gain Income.</em></p>
|
|

</li>
|

You were over-optimistic about the value of the painting.

|

<p>Instead of the $16055 you thought the painting was worth
|
|
||||||
are only offered $15000. But you still decide to sell,

||||||
because you value $15000 more than you value the
|
|

painting.</p>
|
|

dramatically.</p>

<h2>Caution about Valuation</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>As we see in this example, for non-financial assets, it may
|
|
||||||
be difficult to correctly estimate the ``true'' value of an
|
|
||||||
asset.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>It is quite easy to count yourself rich based on
|
|
||||||
questionable estimates that do not reflect "money in the
|
|
||||||
bank."</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Thus, when dealing with appreciation of assets,</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ol>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Be careful with your estimation of values.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Do not indulge in wishful thinking.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Never, ever, count on money you do not have in your bank or
|
|
||||||
as cash.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Until you have actually sold your asset and got the
|
|
||||||
money, any numbers on paper (or magnetic patterns on your
|
|
||||||
hard disk) are merely that.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you could realistically convince a banker to lend you
|
|
||||||
money, using the assets as collateral, that is a pretty
|
|
||||||
reasonable evidence that the assets have value, as lenders
|
|
||||||
are professionally suspicious of dubious overestimations of
|
|
||||||
value.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Be aware: all too many companies that appear
|
|
||||||
"profitable" on paper go out of business as a result of
|
|
||||||
running out of <em>cash,</em> precisely because "valuable
|
|
||||||
assets" were not the same thing as cash.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ol>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Taxation of Capital Gains</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Taxation policies vary considerably between countries, so it
|
|
||||||
is virtually impossible to say anything that will be
|
|
||||||
universally useful.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>However, it is <em>common</em> for income generated by
|
|
||||||
capital gains to not be subject to taxation until the date that
|
|
||||||
the asset is actually sold, and sometimes not even then.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>North American home owners <em>usually</em> find that when
|
|
||||||
they sell personal residences, capital gains that occur are
|
|
||||||
exempt from taxation. It appears that other countries treat
|
|
||||||
sale of homes differently, taxing people on such gains. German
|
|
||||||
authorities, for example, tax those gains only if you owned the
|
|
||||||
property for less than ten years.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><a href="mailto:cbbrowne@hex.net">I have</a> one story from
|
|
||||||
my professional tax preparation days where a family sold a
|
|
||||||
farm, and expected a <em>considerable</em> tax bill that turned
|
|
||||||
out to be virtually nil due to having owned the property before
|
|
||||||
1971 (wherein lies a critical "Valuation Day" date in Canada)
|
|
||||||
and due to it being a <em>dairy</em> farm, with some <em>really
|
|
||||||
peculiar</em> resulting deductions.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In short, this presentation is fairly simple, but taxation
|
|
||||||
often gets terribly complicated...</p>

<h1>Depreciation of assets</h1>
|
|
||||||
<a name="depr"></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Compared to the often uncertain estimates one has to do
|
|
||||||
where appreciation of assets is concerned, we are on somewhat
|
|
||||||
firmer ground here.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Governments tend to set up precise rules as to how you
|
|
||||||
are required to calculate depreciation for tax purposes.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>It is easy to look up in references such as "Blue Books"
|
|
||||||
estimates of what an automobile should be worth after 3 years
|
|
||||||
of use.</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Since depreciation of assets is very often driven by tax
|
|
||||||
policies, the discussion of depreciation will focus in that
|
|
||||||
direction, on some of the more common depreciation calculation
|
|
||||||
schemes.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>While there has been some discussion about how to accomplish
|
|
||||||
automated calculation and creation of transactions to handle
|
|
||||||
things like depreciation, there is not yet any working code, so
|
|
||||||
for now, you will have to do calculations by hand.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Depreciation schemes</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h3>Linear depreciation</h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Linear depreciation diminishes the value of an asset by a
|
|
||||||
fixed amount each period until the net value is zero. This is
|
|
||||||
the <em>simplest</em> calculation, as you estimate a useful
|
|
||||||
lifetime, and simply divide the cost equally across that
|
|
||||||
lifetime.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><b>Example:</b> You have bought a computer for $1500 and
|
|
||||||
wish to depreciate it over a period of 5 years. Each year the
|
|
||||||
amount of depreciation is $300, leading to the following
|
|
||||||
calculations:<br clear="ALL">

</table>
|
|

|
|

<h3>Geometric Depreciation</h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Each period the asset is depreciated by a fixed percentage
|
|
||||||
of its value in the previous period. In this scheme the rest
|
|
||||||
value of an asset decreases exponentially leaving a value at
|
|
||||||
the end that is larger than zero ( <em>i.e.</em> - a resale
|
|
||||||
value).</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><em>Beware: Tax authorities may require (or allow) a larger
|
|
||||||
percentage in the first period.</em> On the other hand, in
|
|
||||||
Canada, this is reversed, as they permit only a <em>half</em>
|
|
||||||
share of "Capital Cost Allowance" in the first year.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The result of this approach is that asset value decreases
|
|
||||||
more rapidly at the beginning than at the end which is <em>
|
|
||||||
probably</em> more realistic for most assets than a linear
|
|
||||||
scheme. This is certainly true for automobiles.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><strong>Example:</strong> We take the same example as above,
|
|
||||||
with an annual depreciation of 30%.</p>

<h3>Sum of digits</h3>

|

is the "sum of digits" method. Here is an illustration:</p>

by the sum of the years of use, <em>e.g.</em> for our example

from above with an asset worth $1500 that is used over a period
|
|
||||||
of five years you get 1500/(1+2+3+4+5)=100. Depreciation and

asset value are then calculated as follows:</p>

<h2>The handling of depreciation in gnucash</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In order to keep track of the depreciation of an asset, you
|
|
||||||
need :</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>An <em>Asset Cost</em> asset account to keep track of the
|
|
||||||
original value;</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>An <em>Accumulated Depreciation</em> asset account in
|
|
||||||
which to collect the sum of all of the years' depreciation
|
|
||||||
amounts;</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>A <em>Depreciation Expense</em> expense account in which
|
|
||||||
to record periodic depreciation expenses.</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The first step, again, is to record the purchase of your
|
|
||||||
asset by transferring the money from bank bank account to the
|
|
||||||
<em>asset cost</em> account. Afterwards, in each accounting
|
|
||||||
period you record the depreciation as an expense in the
|
|
||||||
appropriate account.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The two windows below show your asset account and the main
|
|
||||||
window after the third year of depreciation using a "sum of
|
|
||||||
digits" scheme for the example above.</p>

<h2>A word of caution</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Since depreciation and tax issues are closely related, you
|
|
||||||
may not always be free in choosing your preferred method.
|
|
||||||
Fixing wrong calculations will cost a whole lot more time and
|
|
||||||
trouble than getting the calculations right the first time, so
|
|
||||||
if you plan to depreciate assets, it is wise to make sure of
|
|
||||||
the schemes you will be permitted <em>or required</em> to
|

use.</p>

<title>Understanding Double Entry Accounting</title>
|

</head>
|

<body>

|
||||||
<h1>Why Use Double Entry Accounting?</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you are a novice to accounting, you <em>need</em> double
|
|
||||||
entry accounting to help you keep your accounts straight. It
|
|
||||||
will keep you from creating an unverifiable mess. It will make
|
|
||||||
your life easier, and it will make this software easier to
|
|
||||||
understand and to use.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>And if you are an experienced accountant, you would likely
|
|
||||||
feel <em>ill</em> at the thought of life without it.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>What is Double Entry Accounting?</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Double entry bookkeeping is an accounting methodology
|
|
||||||
introduced in the 13th century to to make sure that each
|
|
||||||
accounts and indeed <em>each transaction</em> is properly
|
|
||||||
balanced.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>When these are all required to balance, the likelihood of
|
|
||||||
data-entry errors is greatly reduced. For large, complex sets
|
|
||||||
of accounts with many transactions, it is distressingly easy to
|
|
||||||
make errors that may go undetected for a long time, and be
|
|
||||||
appallingly difficult to track down, even when double-entry
|
|
||||||
bookkeeping is used.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>A double-entry transaction is a transaction that contains
|
|
||||||
entries for two (or more) accounts that balance against one
|
|
||||||
another. One account is <em>debited</em> by an amount exactly
|
|
||||||
equal to what the other is <em>credited.</em> By ensuring that
|
|
||||||
each transaction balances, a balanced set of accounts is
|
|
||||||
guaranteed. This doesn't prevent you from having errors, but
|
|
||||||
certainly eliminates the large class of <b>I forgot to enter
|
|
||||||
that part of the transaction</b> errors.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Double-entry may be introduced in a more intuitive way via
|
|
||||||
the notion of a transfer from one bank account to another,
|
|
||||||
where an amount is taken out of one bank account and deposited
|
|
||||||
in the other. This is effectively the "rule" of double entry
|
|
||||||
accounting; if you add something in to one account, you <em>
|
|
||||||
have</em> to have another component to that transaction to
|
|
||||||
balance it.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><b>Not-quite-an-aside:</b> If you look at your bank
|
|
||||||
statements, they are typically written up from the <b>
|
|
||||||
bank's</b> perspective, which is exactly <em>opposite</em> to
|
|
||||||
yours. For instance, when you put money in, establishing a
|
|
||||||
deposit, this establishes a <b>DEBT</b> on their part.</p>
|
|
||||||
As a result, "newcomers to accounting," who only see the terms
|
|
||||||
"Debit" and "Credit" on statements from their bank seem to get
|
|
||||||
fairly confused about this.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The perhaps less obvious extension is the notion that double
|
|
||||||
entry can be used to represent income and expenses as well as
|
|
||||||
bank transfers. See the <a href="xacc-expense.html">
|
|
||||||
Income/Expense</a> page for a more detailed discussion of
|
|
||||||
that.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><a name="IDENTITY">In a traditional system that records
|
|
||||||
debits and credits separately, the identity that all
|
|
||||||
transactions are required to satisfy is that <tt>Total of
|
|
||||||
Debits = Total of Credits.</tt></a></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The fact that the identity requires merely that the <em>
|
|
||||||
total</em> balances means that it is a little bit misleading to
|
|
||||||
call this <em>double</em>-entry bookkeeping; it would be
|
|
||||||
somewhat more accurate to call it <em>multiple-</em>entry
|
|
||||||
bookkeeping. Unfortunately, there's 700 years of history of use
|
|
||||||
of the term, which sufficiently discourages changing it. (To
|
|
||||||
think some newcomers to UNIX think that it has some crufty old
|
|
||||||
bits of oddness. Hah! We've got UNIX beat by the better part of
|
|
||||||
a millennium!)</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>GnuCash treats "Debits" as positive values, and "Credits" as
|
|
||||||
negative values, so that this identity simplifies to <tt>
|
|
||||||
value<sub>1</sub> + value<sub>2</sub> + value<sub>3</sub> + ...
|
|
||||||
= 0</tt></p>
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
<h1>Using Double Entry</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Creating Transactions</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To create a double-entry transaction:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Click on a box in the column marked <tt>Transfer From</tt>
|
|
||||||
on the left-hand side of the register.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>A menu will drop down, listing all of the accounts from
|
|
||||||
which a transfer may be made.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Select one.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>When you record the transaction, the double-entry will
|
|
||||||
automatically be made, and the transaction automatically
|
|
||||||
appear in all windows showing the transferred-from and the
|
|
||||||
transferred-to accounts.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Changing Transactions</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To <em>change</em> a double-entry transaction:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Simply edit the transaction in any window in which it
|
|
||||||
appears.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Any changes made will be automatically reflected in both
|
|
||||||
accounts and all windows displaying the transaction.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Similarly, when a double-entry transaction is deleted, the
|
|
||||||
"splits" will be deleted from both accounts, and balances will
|
|
||||||
automatically be recalculated for <em>both</em> accounts.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To change the transfer account, simply select a new account
|
|
||||||
from the pull-down menu. When you record the transaction, it
|
|
||||||
will automatically be selected from the old account, and
|
|
||||||
inserted into the new account.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Scrubbing Clean</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>GnuCash may be configured to be strict about double entry,
|
|
||||||
or you may configure it to be "loose."</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In "loose" mode, you can create <em>unbalanced
|
|
||||||
transactions,</em> that is, transactions where the "splits"
|
|
||||||
don't balance to zero. That discards the validation that comes
|
|
||||||
from using the more strict double entry scheme, which is
|
|
||||||
probably not a really wise move. In effect:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>If you aren't sure of what you're doing, you likely do
|
|
||||||
not want to discard the validation of <b>double entry,</b> as
|
|
||||||
this helps you keep your accounts balanced even when you're
|
|
||||||
not perfectly clear on this.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>If you are an <em>accounting whiz,</em> you'll know that
|
|
||||||
it's <em>really important</em> to keep things in balance, and
|
|
||||||
again will prefer <b>double entry.</b></li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>But if you decide to "outsmart the system," and have a
|
|
||||||
number of unbalanced transactions, you'll probably want to
|
|
||||||
clean this up at some point. To clean up these unbalanced
|
|
||||||
transactions, you <b>Scrub</b> the account clean by choosing
|
|
||||||
<tt>Scrub</tt> from the window menu.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The process will examine each transaction; if the
|
|
||||||
transaction doesn't balance, a split entry will be created and
|
|
||||||
placed into an account named <b>Unbalanced.</b> You may then
|
|
||||||
review these splits and move them to their proper accounts.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><b>Warning: Functionality Changing...</b></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>At present, control over whether GnuCash is "strict" or
|
|
||||||
"loose" is established at compile time, and defaults to <b>
|
|
||||||
strict.</b></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In the future, there will be no option of "looseness."</p>

<h1>GnuCash and the EURO</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Introduction</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>On January 1, 1999, eleven European Union countries formed
|
|
||||||
an economic and monetary union (EMU) and started using a single
|
|
||||||
currency - the euro. These countries locked the exchange rates
|
|
||||||
of their national currencies to the euro and are sharing the
|
|
||||||
new currency.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>However, euro notes and coins will not be available until
|
|
||||||
January 1, 2001. Until then, the old national currency notes
|
|
||||||
and coins (French francs, Deutschmarks etc) will continue to
|
|
||||||
circulate. But in law they are part of the euro. Their value in
|
|
||||||
euro is completely fixed. All kinds of cashless monetary
|
|
||||||
transactions like cheques or wire transfers are possible in
|
|
||||||
euro</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You can find more information about the euro at: <a href=
|
|
||||||
"http://europa.eu.int/euro">http://europa.eu.int/euro</a> .</p>

<h2>EMU Member Countries and Exchange Rates</h2>

<p>The following table shows the EMU member countries and the
|

respective exchange rates of the euro to the old national
|
|
||||||
currencies. More countries are expected to join the EMU
|
|

later.</p>

<h1>What are Incomes and Expenses?</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The words "Income" and "Expense" are beguilingly simple;
|
|
||||||
everyone <em>thinks</em> they know what they mean; this <em>
|
|
||||||
usually</em> is that <b>When I spend something, this is an
|
|
||||||
expense, and when I get money, this is an income.</b></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>This oversimplifies things somewhat; it is often a <em>
|
|
||||||
good-enough</em> approximation when doing personal accounting,
|
|
||||||
but when running a business, incomes and expenses often have be
|
|
||||||
recognized as having occurred when some "critical event" takes
|
|
||||||
place that may not perfectly correspond to "when cash comes in
|
|
||||||
or goes out."</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>For instance, companies usually have to recognize income
|
|
||||||
<em>when the sale occurs.</em> That may mean that I have to
|
|
||||||
recognize a $100,000 sale <em>at the moment I and the customer
|
|
||||||
shake hands on the deal.</em></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Since the money hasn't come in, the sale has to be estimated
|
|
||||||
in other way; the way this is done is to <b>accrue</b> a sale
|
|
||||||
at that time, and in making the transaction balance, rather

|

than adding something in to cash, I'd add the $100,000 sale to
|
|
||||||
<b>Accounts Receivable.</b></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In a double entry system, two kinds of accounts must be
|
|
||||||
created: some of type "Income" and others of type "Expense."
|
|
||||||
(There tend to be a lot more different kinds of expenses than
|
|
||||||
there are of incomes.)</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Income such as salary, wages, bank interest and stock
|
|
||||||
dividends are then recorded as transfers from an income account
|
|
||||||
to a bank (or, in general, some asset) account. Similarly,
|
|
||||||
expenses are recorded as transfers from a credit card account
|
|
||||||
(or, in general, a liability account).</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Another way of describing the requirement for "double entry"
|
|
||||||
is that when you receive an income, two things happen:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>You receive a sum of <em>money,</em> and must record that
|
|
||||||
effect on your bank account.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>You have received an income, and must record that effect
|
|
||||||
on an income account.</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>When, for instance, salary is deposited in a bank account,
|
|
||||||
the bank account is credited, and the income account is
|
|
||||||
debited, thus:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<table>
|
|
||||||
<tr>
|
|
||||||
<th>Account</th>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<th>Debit</th>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|

|

<p>This may be readily extended to a greater number of "split"

items thus:</p>

|

||||||

|
|

||||||

|
|
||||||
</tr>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<tr>
|
|
||||||
<td>Health Plan</td>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<td>100.00</td>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<td>
|
|
||||||
</td>
|
|
||||||
</tr>
|
|
||||||
|
|

<tr>
|
|
||||||
<td>Salary</td>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<td>
|
|
||||||
</td>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<td>1,600.00</td>
|
|
||||||
</tr>
|
|
||||||
</table>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>There may be a whole lot more than two entries in the
|
|
||||||
transaction, but the total sum of the Debits, $1,600.00, still
|
|
||||||
equals the total sum of the credits, $1,600.00.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If, as with <b>GnuCash,</b> everything is forced onto one
|
|
||||||
column, so that <b>debits</b> are represented by positive
|
|
||||||
values, and <b>credits</b> are represented by negative values,
|
|
||||||
the income/expense accounts do a slightly non-intuitive thing
|
|
||||||
and you see incomes as <em>negative</em> values. That <em>
|
|
||||||
appears</em> contrary to intuition, but is nonetheless
|
|
||||||
necessary in order for the <a href="xacc-double.html#IDENTITY">
|
|
||||||
double-entry bookkeeping identity to hold true.</a></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Another way in which income and expense accounts are special
|
|
||||||
is that their account totals do not directly appear on a
|
|
||||||
balance sheet. A balance sheet shows "Net Worth": the sum of
|
|
||||||
all assets minus all liabilities.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Income and expenses are neither assets nor liabilities, and
|
|
||||||
so do not appear on the balance sheet. What appears on the
|
|
||||||
balance sheet is their effects on <b>equity.</b></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>There is a separate report, a "Profit and Loss" (P&L)
|
|
||||||
report, to analyze income and expenses. The total profit (or
|
|
||||||
loss) is calculated as total income less total expenses. In a
|
|
||||||
nicely symmetrical fashion, since assets and liabilities are
|
|
||||||
neither income or expenses, <em>they</em> correspondingly do
|
|
||||||
not appear on a P&L statement.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Even though these accounts may be somewhat "special", you do
|
|
||||||
not need to do anything particularly special to use income and
|
|
||||||
expense accounts. GnuCash handles the values automatically, so
|
|
||||||
that if you record properly the effects of the transactions on
|
|
||||||
your bank account or credit card, the income/expense side of
|
|
||||||
the transaction should also be handled correctly.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The time when things get "peculiar," and when you need to
|
|
||||||
more deeply understand this, is when amounts are transferred
|
|
||||||
between income/expense accounts. (The <i>causes</i> for such
|
|
||||||
transfers tend to be somewhat peculiar, so it's pretty fair for
|
|
||||||
this to be a pretty odd situation.)</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Using Income/Expense Accounts</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To use an income/expense account, simply create one from the
|
|
||||||
"New Account" dialogue window, and then be sure to transfer
|
|
||||||
income/expenses to it as you record paychecks, interest,
|
|
||||||
etc.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You will doubtless wish to create quite a number of income
|
|
||||||
and expense accounts; it may be worth looking at the <a href=
|
|
||||||
"xacc-groups.html#SAMPLECHART">Sample Chart of Accounts</a> for
|
|
||||||
ideas.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>This partitioning of incomes and expenses is likely to prove
|
|
||||||
particularly useful for North Americans when <i>income tax
|
|
||||||
time</i> rolls around.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Use of Terminology In Other Software</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you have used other personal finance software, be aware
|
|
||||||
that <a href="xacc-quicken.html#QUICKENCATS">Quicken calls them

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The Find Transactions dialog allows you to search for
|
|
||||||
transactions which match criteria that you specify, including:
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li> Account(s) affected by the transaction,
|
|
||||||
<li> Value of the transaction,
|
|
||||||
<li> Date
|
|
||||||
<li> Memo field
|
|
||||||
<li> Transaction description
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
etc.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P> You may bring up the <b> Find Transactions </b> dialog by clicking
|
|
||||||
on the "Find" button in the main GnuCash window or any register
|
|
||||||
display window.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P> The results of your search will be shown in a register display
|
|
||||||
similar to the ones used to display your accounts, with the window
|
|
||||||
title "Search Results".
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Clicking the "Find" button again within a Search Results
|
|
||||||
register window allows you to add additional terms to the query whose
|
|
||||||
results are displayed in that window. <P> By combining multiple searches,
|
|
||||||
you may construct rather sophisticated queries to display exactly the
|
|
||||||
subset of your transactions that you want to see.

<a name="how-to"><h2>How to use the Find Transactions dialog</h2></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The Find Transactions dialog has two main parts.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li> The upper
|
|
||||||
part of the dialog is a Notebook with tabs that allow you to specify
|
|
||||||
the conditions of your search. <p> See <a href="#setup">Setting up a
|
|
||||||
search</a> for details on each search type.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>The lower part of the
|
|
||||||
dialog is a selector which allows you to specify how the results of
|
|
||||||
the search are to be combined with any previous search.
|
|
||||||
</uL>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you get the Find Transactions dialog by clicking the Find
|
|
||||||
button in the main GnuCash window or any normal account display
|
|
||||||
register, the only option available will be "New Search". If you
|
|
||||||
select Find from within a Search Results register the other options
|
|
||||||
will be available; see <a href="#modify">Modifying your search</a> for
|
|
||||||
details.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Most simple queries can be directly handled by a single
|
|
||||||
invocation of the Find Transactions dialog. The dialog has nine tabs,
|
|
||||||
each of which represents a particular field of the transaction (or
|
|
||||||
split) that you can search on. If you specify conditions on multiple
|
|
||||||
fields (for example, selecting one or more accounts in the Accounts
|
|
||||||
tab and also entering a date range in the Date tab), a transaction
|
|
||||||
must match all the conditions you specify in order to be displayed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If simple searches are not specific enough, you can combine
|
|
||||||
them by clicking the Find button in a search results window and
|
|
||||||
selecting any "Type of Search" except "New search".
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a name="setup"><h2>Setting up a search</h2></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You can find transactions by any or all of the following
|
|
||||||
criteria. Each one has a tab in the dialog where you may enter
|
|
||||||
the match value(s) and comparison method.
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li> Accounts affected by the transaction
|
|
||||||
<li> Date the transaction took place
|
|
||||||
<li> The string in the Description field
|
|
||||||
<li> The string in the Number field
|
|
||||||
<li> Amount of the transaction's splits
|
|
||||||
<li> The string in the Memo field
|
|
||||||
<li> Number of shares in a stock transaction
|
|
||||||
<li> Share price in a stock transaction
|
|
||||||
<li> The string in the Action field
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you specify multiple criteria in the search, all of the
|
|
||||||
criteria must be true for the transaction to be displayed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a name="accounts"><h3>Account searches</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In the Account tab, select any accounts of interest and then
|
|
||||||
choose whether transactions affecting Any, All, or None of these
|
|
||||||
accounts is to be displayed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you select "All" accounts from the picker at the top of the
|
|
||||||
tab, the only transactions that will be show are those which affect
|
|
||||||
all the selected accounts. <P> For example, if you select <b>My
|
|
||||||
Checking Account<b> and <b> My VISA Account</b> and then choose <B>
|
|
||||||
All</b>, only transfers from Checking to Visa will be shown.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you select "Any" from the picker, transactions affecting any
|
|
||||||
selected amount will be shown. For example, if you select "My
|
|
||||||
Checking Account" and "My VISA Account" and then choose "Any", your
|
|
||||||
entire checking account and your entire Visa account will be shown
|
|
||||||
together in the Search Results window.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a name="accounts"><h3>Date searches</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In the Date tab, you can specify a date range for the
|
|
||||||
transactions you wish to find. The year, month, and day fields are in
|
|
||||||
the order you specify in <tt> Preferences:International:Date Format</tt>.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you want to locate any transaction before a certain date,
|
|
||||||
specify your date in the second date entry and put a distant date in
|
|
||||||
the past in the first date entry. The default date is January 1,
|
|
||||||
1900, which should be distant enough for most peoples' purposes. <P>
|
|
||||||
Similarly, if you want to find any transaction after a certain date,
|
|
||||||
put the date in the first date entry and put a date after your last
|
|
||||||
transaction in the second entry.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a name="amount"><h3>Amount searches</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The searches in the Amount, Shares, and Price tabs allow you to
|
|
||||||
search for particular quantities in various transaction fields. You
|
|
||||||
need to enter both the amount (in the entry box) and the type of
|
|
||||||
comparison (with the option menu to the left of the entry box). The
|
|
||||||
amount in the entry box is always positive.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>For the Amount tab, you need to indicate whether you are
|
|
||||||
interested in debits, credits, or both.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a name="string"><h3>String searches</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In the Description, Number, Memo, and Action tabs, you can
|
|
||||||
specify a string which is matched against the respective fields of
|
|
||||||
splits and transactions. <ul><li> By default, the match used is a
|
|
||||||
case-insensitive substring match. <li> If you select the "Case sensitive"
|
|
||||||
toggle button, the search is a case-sensitive substring match. <li>If the
|
|
||||||
"Regular expression" button is selected, the match interprets the
|
|
||||||
string you enter as a POSIX extended regular expression; case
|
|
||||||
sensitivity is still determined by the "Case sensitive" button.</ul>

<h3><a name="SEC001">Preamble</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The licenses for most software are designed to take away
|
|
||||||
your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU
|
|
||||||
General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
|
|
||||||
share and change free software--to make sure the software is
|
|
||||||
free for all its users. This General Public License applies to
|
|
||||||
most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any
|
|
||||||
other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other
|
|
||||||
Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library
|
|
||||||
General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
|
|
||||||
programs, too.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom,
|
|
||||||
not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make
|
|
||||||
sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
|
|
||||||
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you
|
|
||||||
receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can
|
|
||||||
change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;
|
|
||||||
and that you know you can do these things.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
|
|
||||||
forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
|
|
||||||
surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
|
|
||||||
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
|
|
||||||
software, or if you modify it.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
|
|
||||||
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all
|
|
||||||
the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too,
|
|
||||||
receive or can get the source code. And you must show them
|
|
||||||
these terms so they know their rights.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the
|
|
||||||
software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
|
|
||||||
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make
|
|
||||||
certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for
|
|
||||||
this free software. If the software is modified by someone else
|
|
||||||
and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they
|
|
||||||
have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by
|
|
||||||
others will not reflect on the original authors'
|
|
||||||
reputations.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by
|
|
||||||
software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that
|
|
||||||
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain
|
|
||||||
patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To
|
|
||||||
prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
|
|
||||||
licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
|
|
||||||
and modification follow.</p>

<h3><a name="SEC002">GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND
|
|
||||||
CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>0. This License applies to any program or other work which
|
|
||||||
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may
|
|
||||||
be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
|
|
||||||
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a
|
|
||||||
"work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
|
|
||||||
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
|
|
||||||
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or
|
|
||||||
with modifications and/or translated into another language.
|
|
||||||
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the
|
|
||||||
term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification
|
|
||||||
are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.
|
|
||||||
The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the
|
|
||||||
output from the Program is covered only if its contents
|
|
||||||
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having
|
|
||||||
been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends
|
|
||||||
on what the Program does.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
|
|
||||||
Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium,
|
|
||||||
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
|
|
||||||
each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of
|
|
||||||
warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
|
|
||||||
License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
|
|
||||||
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the
|
|
||||||
Program.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
|
|
||||||
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
|
|
||||||
exchange for a fee.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any
|
|
||||||
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and
|
|
||||||
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms
|
|
||||||
of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
|
|
||||||
conditions:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<blockquote>
|
|
||||||
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent
|
|
||||||
notices stating that you changed the files and the date of
|
|
||||||
any change.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish,
|
|
||||||
that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the
|
|
||||||
Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no
|
|
||||||
charge to all third parties under the terms of this
|
|
||||||
License.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>c) If the modified program normally reads commands
|
|
||||||
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started
|
|
||||||
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to
|
|
||||||
print or display an announcement including an appropriate
|
|
||||||
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
|
|
||||||
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
|
|
||||||
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling
|
|
||||||
the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if
|
|
||||||
the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
|
|
||||||
such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not
|
|
||||||
required to print an announcement.)</p>
|
|
||||||
</blockquote>
|
|
||||||
<hr>
|
|
||||||
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
|
|
||||||
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
|
|
||||||
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
|
|
||||||
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
|
|
||||||
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
|
|
||||||
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as
|
|
||||||
part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
|
|
||||||
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
|
|
||||||
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
|
|
||||||
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
|
|
||||||
it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights
|
|
||||||
or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
|
|
||||||
the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution
|
|
||||||
of derivative or collective works based on the Program.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on
|
|
||||||
the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
|
|
||||||
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does
|
|
||||||
not bring the other work under the scope of this License.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based
|
|
||||||
on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under
|
|
||||||
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do
|
|
||||||
one of the following:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<blockquote>
|
|
||||||
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
|
|
||||||
machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under
|
|
||||||
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
|
|
||||||
used for software interchange; or,
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least
|
|
||||||
three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more
|
|
||||||
than your cost of physically performing source distribution,
|
|
||||||
a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source
|
|
||||||
code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
|
|
||||||
above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
|
|
||||||
or,</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>c) Accompany it with the information you received as to
|
|
||||||
the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This
|
|
||||||
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution
|
|
||||||
and only if you received the program in object code or
|
|
||||||
executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection
|
|
||||||
b above.)</p>
|
|
||||||
</blockquote>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The source code for a work means the preferred form of the
|
|
||||||
work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
|
|
||||||
complete source code means all the source code for all modules
|
|
||||||
it contains, plus any associated interface definition files,
|
|
||||||
plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
|
|
||||||
of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
|
|
||||||
code distributed need not include anything that is normally
|
|
||||||
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
|
|
||||||
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating
|
|
||||||
system on which the executable runs, unless that component
|
|
||||||
itself accompanies the executable.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If distribution of executable or object code is made by
|
|
||||||
offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering
|
|
||||||
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place
|
|
||||||
counts as distribution of the source code, even though third
|
|
||||||
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
|
|
||||||
object code.</p>
|
|
||||||
<hr>
|
|
||||||
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
|
|
||||||
Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any
|
|
||||||
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
|
|
||||||
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
|
|
||||||
under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
|
|
||||||
or rights, from you under this License will not have their
|
|
||||||
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
|
|
||||||
compliance.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>5. You are not required to accept this License, since you
|
|
||||||
have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission
|
|
||||||
to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works.
|
|
||||||
These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
|
|
||||||
License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program
|
|
||||||
(or any work based on the Program), you indicate your
|
|
||||||
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and
|
|
||||||
conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program
|
|
||||||
or works based on it.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based
|
|
||||||
on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license
|
|
||||||
from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
|
|
||||||
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not
|
|
||||||
impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of
|
|
||||||
the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
|
|
||||||
enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of
|
|
||||||
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to
|
|
||||||
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
|
|
||||||
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions
|
|
||||||
of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of
|
|
||||||
this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
|
|
||||||
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any
|
|
||||||
other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
|
|
||||||
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license
|
|
||||||
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
|
|
||||||
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
|
|
||||||
you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this
|
|
||||||
License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the
|
|
||||||
Program.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If any portion of this section is held invalid or
|
|
||||||
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of
|
|
||||||
the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is
|
|
||||||
intended to apply in other circumstances.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
|
|
||||||
infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
|
|
||||||
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole
|
|
||||||
purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
|
|
||||||
distribution system, which is implemented by public license
|
|
||||||
practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the
|
|
||||||
wide range of software distributed through that system in
|
|
||||||
reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to
|
|
||||||
the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
|
|
||||||
distribute software through any other system and a licensee
|
|
||||||
cannot impose that choice.</p>
|
|
||||||
<hr>
|
|
||||||
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
|
|
||||||
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is
|
|
||||||
restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
|
|
||||||
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who
|
|
||||||
places the Program under this License may add an explicit
|
|
||||||
geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
|
|
||||||
so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries
|
|
||||||
not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
|
|
||||||
limitation as if written in the body of this License.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or
|
|
||||||
new versions of the General Public License from time to time.
|
|
||||||
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
|
|
||||||
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
|
|
||||||
concerns.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If
|
|
||||||
the Program specifies a version number of this License which
|
|
||||||
applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of
|
|
||||||
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
|
|
||||||
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
|
|
||||||
the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
|
|
||||||
you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
|
|
||||||
Foundation.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into
|
|
||||||
other free programs whose distribution conditions are
|
|
||||||
different, write to the author to ask for permission. For
|
|
||||||
software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
|
|
||||||
write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
|
|
||||||
exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two
|
|
||||||
goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our
|
|
||||||
free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
|
|
||||||
software generally.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h3><a name="SEC003">NO WARRANTY</a></h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS
|
|
||||||
NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
|
|
||||||
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
|
|
||||||
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS
|
|
||||||
IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
|
|
||||||
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
|
|
||||||
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
|
|
||||||
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS
|
|
||||||
WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
|
|
||||||
COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED
|
|
||||||
TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
|
|
||||||
MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE,
|
|
||||||
BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
|
|
||||||
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
|
|
||||||
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS
|
|
||||||
OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED
|
|
||||||
BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
|
|
||||||
WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
|
|
||||||
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.</p>
|

<h1>Chart of Accounts</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Typically accounts are arranged as a tree, in hierarchical
|
|
||||||
form.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The main branches represent entire categories or groups,
|
|
||||||
while the leaves of the tree denote individual bank accounts or
|
|
||||||
expense categories.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>When a summary report is requested, typically only the main
|
|
||||||
branches are shown in the report, rather than the individual
|
|
||||||
accounts. For example, a chart of accounts might look like the
|
|
||||||
following:</p>
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
300 Expenses
|
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
+--310 Living Expenses
|
|
||||||
| |
|
|
||||||
| +--311 Beer
|
|
||||||
| |
|
|
||||||
| +--312 Cable
|
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
+--320 Business Expenses
|
|
||||||
| |
|
|
||||||
| +--321 8-inch Floppies
|
|
||||||
| |
|
|
||||||
: :
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Note that accounts not only have names; they have <b>
|
|
||||||
codes,</b> in order to provide <em>order.</em> When a report is
|
|
||||||
generated, the <a name="SORTORDER">sort order is determined by
|
|
||||||
the numbering.</a></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>A sensible hierarchy generally will have the "leaf" accounts
|
|
||||||
end in non-zero digits, whilst parent nodes have increasing
|
|
||||||
numbers of zeros. For instance, "cash" accounts might logically
|
|
||||||
be arranged thus:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Overall Assets: <tt>100</tt>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Overall Cash: <tt>110</tt>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Cash in Wallet: <tt>111</tt></li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Cash in Sock in Closet: <tt>112</tt></li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Cash in Mattress: <tt>113</tt></li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Petty Cash Box: <tt>114</tt></li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Overall Banking Assets <tt>120</tt>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Checking Account <tt>121</tt></li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Savings Account <tt>122</tt></li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>When you <a href="xacc-accwin.html">create a new
|
|
||||||
account</a>, GnuCash offers a guess at what an appropriate
|
|
||||||
account code might be; you are free to change this. GnuCash
|
|
||||||
does not prevent duplicate numbering, although we would
|
|
||||||
encourage you to avoid this. Account codes are treated as
|
|
||||||
numbers in base-36, thus, if you run out of numbers, you
|
|
||||||
can use the letters, <tt>a</tt> through <tt>z</tt>.</p>

<p>The <tt>Open Subaccounts</tt> menu item is interesting only

if you choose an account with sub-accounts (detail accounts).
|
|

Accounts with sub-accounts will always have a box on thier

left. By choosing the <tt>Open Subaccounts</tt> menu item, a
|
|

general ledger window is opened, which displays all
|
|

transactions for the lead and the detail accounts. Note that
|
|
||||||
the general ledger window is more complicated and harder to use
|
|
||||||
than the individual account registers. The general ledger
|
|
||||||
window allows a more comprehensive overview of accounts in a
|
|
||||||
smaller space. Because of its increased complexity, it use is
|
|
||||||
recommended only for accounting experts.</p>

<h1>Printing Checks</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You may print a GnuCash transaction as a check by selecting
|
|
||||||
"Print Check" from the Transaction menu in a register display
|
|
||||||
window.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In the Print Check dialog, select the style of check form
|
|
||||||
that you wish to use, the position of the check on the page,
|
|
||||||
and the format for printing the date on the check. Clicking
|
|
||||||
<tt>OK</tt> will take you to the <a href="xacc-print.html">
|
|
||||||
GnuCash Printing</a> dialog, which will allow you to preview
|
|
||||||
the check, select a printer and paper size, and start the print
|
|
||||||
job.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Check format</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In order to print a check, it is necessary to know where the
|
|
||||||
pre-printed lines and boxes are on the check form. There are
|
|
||||||
two widely-used standard check formats: Quicken/QuickBooks (tm)
|
|
||||||
compatible, and Microsoft Money (tm) compatible.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>By default, the check format is <tt>Quicken/QuickBooks</tt>,
|
|
||||||
which prints to any Quicken-compatible check forms.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Custom Check Format</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you wish to print to a type of check form that is not in
|
|
||||||
the <tt>Check Format</tt> option menu, select <tt>Custom</tt>
|
|
||||||
in the format menu and enter the positions of the various check
|
|
||||||
fields in the entry boxes below.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Positions in the Custom Check Format entry area are
|
|
||||||
specified with x = 0 at the left edge of the check with x
|
|
||||||
increasing to the right, and y = 0 at the bottom edge of the
|
|
||||||
check with y increasing as you travel up. Numbers may be
|
|
||||||
entered as integer or floating point values. The length units
|
|
||||||
specified in the <tt>Units</tt> option menu are used to
|
|
||||||
interpret all values entered in the custom check format
|
|
||||||
area.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you arrive at a working set of Custom Check Format
|
|
||||||
parameters for a commercially-available printable check form,
|
|
||||||
please submit them to <tt>gnucash-devel@gnucash.org</tt> so we
|
|
||||||
can include them as standard in a future release.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Check position</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Printable check forms are available in several styles. In
|
|
||||||
general, each printable sheet is divided into three sections,
|
|
||||||
and each section can be either a check or a stub. The Check
|
|
||||||
Position option menu allows you to select which section of the
|
|
||||||
page contains the check you wish to print to. <tt>Top</tt>,
|
|
||||||
<tt>Middle</tt>, and <tt>Bottom</tt> should be defined
|
|
||||||
correctly for check forms using the paper size that you select
|
|
||||||
in the printing dialog.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Custom check position</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If the preset check positions do not work correctly for your
|
|
||||||
check forms, you may choose <tt>Custom</tt> from the Check
|
|
||||||
Position option menu and enter a position for the check in the
|
|
||||||
<tt>Check Position</tt> entry. Enter the distance along the
|
|
||||||
left edge of the paper from the lower left-hand corner of the
|
|
||||||
page to the lower left-hand corner of the check. The units of
|
|
||||||
this measurement are those selected in the "Units" option
|
|
||||||
menu.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Date format</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Select your preferred date format from the picker. The
|
|
||||||
picker shows examples using the date of <tt>December 31,
|
|
||||||
2000</tt> for all formats, but your date will be substituted
|
|
||||||
when printing.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The <tt>MM/DD/YY</tt> and <tt>DD/MM/YY</tt> formats are
|
|
||||||
available, but they are strongly discouraged since they cannot
|
|
||||||
always be distinguished from each other. Please use a format
|
|
||||||
with a full or abbreviated month name instead of a number.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Custom date format</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you wish to use another date format besides those
|
|
||||||
available in the picker, select <tt>Custom</tt> and enter a
|
|
||||||
date-formatting string in the <tt>Date Format</tt> entry in the
|
|
||||||
custom settings area. If custom date format is selected, this
|
|
||||||
string is passed to <tt>strftime(3)</tt> as a format
|
|
||||||
specifier.</p>

<a name="overview"><h2>Overview</h2></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Quicken is one of the best-selling programs in the history of
|
|
||||||
the Universe. Pretty much everyone that has owned a PC or Mac since
|
|
||||||
the late 80's has had a copy of it lying around somewhere, and lots of
|
|
||||||
people actually use it to keep track of their finances. Why? Because
|
|
||||||
it works pretty well and Intuit has (to their credit) done a good job
|
|
||||||
of keeping up with what people want the program to do.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>They've done such a good job, in fact, that lots of Linux folks
|
|
||||||
keep a Windows partition on their machine just so they can run Quicken
|
|
||||||
and the latest shoot-em-up games. So of course we want to give you a
|
|
||||||
way to suck all your Quicken data into GnuCash and remove one more
|
|
||||||
barrier to putting a nice <tt> ext2 </tt> filesystem on that Windows
|
|
||||||
partition.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The problem is that GnuCash is a real double-entry accounting
|
|
||||||
system and Quicken has a pretty simplistic view about what an account
|
|
||||||
is, what a transaction is, and, most critically, is severely flawed in its datamodel, that is, <em> what it saves in
|
|
||||||
data files.</em>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P> Briefly, QIF files just don't contain enough information to
|
|
||||||
completely and accurately reconstruct your Quicken account hierarchy
|
|
||||||
in the GnuCash double entry system without some educated guessing by
|
|
||||||
the import code as well as some guidance, provided by you.
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li> QIF files omit small things that may be fairly accurately inferred by
|
|
||||||
examining the data.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P> For instance, are numbers in decimal-radix [1,000.00 ==
|
|
||||||
1000] form or European comma-radix form [1.000,00 == 1000]?
|
|
||||||
<P> Or are
|
|
||||||
dates <tt> m/d/y </tt> or <tt> y/m/d</tt>?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<Ll> More problematic are major things where there is little way of
|
|
||||||
guessing.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P> For instance, determining the currency the file is denominated in.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P> Or what <em> account </em> the file describes.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p> GnuCash's QIF importer does a remarkably good job of guessing what
|
|
||||||
it can, but you <em> do </em> have to keep an eye on it. Fortunately,
|
|
||||||
the system is designed so that you can correct problems <em> before
|
|
||||||
</em> you changes are dropped into your GnuCash accounts. Nothing is
|
|
||||||
done to your GnuCash accounts until you click the final "OK" button.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In the next section, I'll give an overview of the QIF file and
|
|
||||||
its "features". This may seem unnecessarily technical, but if you at
|
|
||||||
least glance through it you will be much better able to understand
|
|
||||||
what's going on if you are having to jump through hoops to make make a
|
|
||||||
problematic file work right, and how you might be able to jump right
|
|
||||||
in and edit the QIF file to fix really tough problems.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>There are two major "paths" for using the GnuCash QIF importer.
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li> One is the "I am a Quicken user just migrating to GnuCash" path.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li> The other is the "I am downloading some updates from my bank as a
|
|
||||||
QIF file" path.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
</uL>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P> This document mainly focuses on the former case, since new users
|
|
||||||
are likely to need the most help and you really can't get started
|
|
||||||
using GnuCash until you can get your old records in. Fortunately,
|
|
||||||
once you learn to do the former, the latter should be a piece of cake.
|
|
||||||

<p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a>

|
|
||||||
<a name="intro"><h2>Introduction to the QIF file</h2></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>QIF files are plain text files formatted as "tag-value" pairs.
|
|
||||||
At the beginning of each line there is a single character "tag"
|
|
||||||
followed immediately by the "value", which extends to the end of the
|
|
||||||
line.
|
|
||||||
<P> Don't be afraid to pop up a QIF file using <tt> less </tt>
|
|
||||||
or the text editor of your choice if you are having problems getting
|
|
||||||
some Quicken data imported correctly; chances are a simple
|
|
||||||
search-and-replace can fix just about any problem you might have with
|
|
||||||
a QIF file. And a regexp search-and-replace will get the rest.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Collections of tag-value pairs form records of various types.
|
|
||||||
There are records to store the names and descriptions of your accounts
|
|
||||||
and of expense and income categories that you have defined in Quicken.
|
|
||||||
There are records to define Quicken "classes" (sort of like
|
|
||||||
sub-accounts, sort of like categories, but not exactly like either).
|
|
||||||
And there are records to describe transactions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Here's a typical Quicken transaction record:
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
!Type:Bank
|
|
||||||
D6/20/97
|
|
||||||
T-500
|
|
||||||
N1012
|
|
||||||
C*
|
|
||||||
M
|
|
||||||
P
|
|
||||||
L[Visa]
|
|
||||||
^
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The ! tag denotes the start of a section of records of a
|
|
||||||
certain type. In this case, Bank transactions. Type:Cat means
|
|
||||||
a section of Category descriptions, Account means account
|
|
||||||
descriptions, and so on.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The D tag denotes the date. Note y2k compliance "issue".
|
|
||||||
Here's a lovely "feature" of some version of Quicken and dates in
|
|
||||||
2000:
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
D1/ 1' 0
|
|
||||||
T-640.00
|
|
||||||
CX
|
|
||||||
N511
|
|
||||||
PJoe Bob
|
|
||||||
LRent:Apartment
|
|
||||||
^
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Ouch! Fortunately the GnuCash QIF importer can handle all of
|
|
||||||
the wacky date formats that the gnucash-devel list can find.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The T field is the "Total" amount of the transaction. If there
|
|
||||||
are splits, the sum of all the split amounts is in a T field. Money
|
|
||||||
going out of the account is negative.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The N field is a "Number", which is usually a check number or
|
|
||||||
some other identifying number for the transaction.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The C field represents the clearing/reconciliation state of the
|
|
||||||
transaction. An x or X in this field means the transaction is
|
|
||||||
"Cleared", a * means the transaction is Reconciled.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The M field is the transaction memo.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The P field is the Payee.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The L field is the Category/Account line. If the value in this
|
|
||||||
field is enclosed in square brackets, like [Visa], this transaction is
|
|
||||||
a transfer to the Quicken account named Visa. If there are no square
|
|
||||||
brackets, the transaction is in the named Category (like
|
|
||||||
Rent:Apartment).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The ^ tag means End of Record.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Quicken users taking advantage of Classes will see a slash (/)
|
|
||||||
character followed by the class name appended on the Category line
|
|
||||||
(like [Visa]/Project)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If a transaction has "splits", meaning that it is a single
|
|
||||||
transaction with "this" account but is "split" into multiple
|
|
||||||
source/destination accounts, the splits are described with S fields
|
|
||||||
for the category/account/class of each split, an $ field for the
|
|
||||||
amount of the split, and an E field for a per-split memo. The total
|
|
||||||
of all the $ fields in a transaction record should equal the T field.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Note that nowhere in the transaction record, nor anywhere
|
|
||||||
else in the file, does Quicken store the name of the account that the
|
|
||||||
file describes. Don't ask me why not, I don't know either. Microsoft
|
|
||||||
Money (which also can save QIF files) uses a "trick" to get the
|
|
||||||
information in the file. If the very first Bank transaction in the
|
|
||||||
file has a payee of "Opening Balance", the L line contains the name of
|
|
||||||
the account that the file describes:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
!Type:Bank
|
|
||||||
D12/03/95
|
|
||||||
T4,706.57
|
|
||||||
CX
|
|
||||||
POpening Balance
|
|
||||||
L[New Bank]
|
|
||||||
^
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Opening Balance records are handled specially, since they don't
|
|
||||||
mean what the data appear to indicate (if you interpret the record
|
|
||||||
literally, as a transfer of $4706.57 from [New Bank] to [New Bank],
|
|
||||||
your new balance is a whopping $0.00). In the <a
|
|
||||||
href="#dialog-accounts">Accounts Tab</a> section there's a discussion
|
|
||||||
of what we do with them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h3>Multi-account Quicken exports</h3>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Quicken and some other programs who use QIF as an export format
|
|
||||||
know how to put the history of multiple accounts into a single QIF
|
|
||||||
file. They do this by prepending an "!Account" record before the set
|
|
||||||
of transactions to/from that account.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The QIF Importer should be able to handle these files fine. You
|
|
||||||
may notice that the "Default QIF Account" seems somewhat arbitrary;
|
|
||||||
for multiple-account exports, the guessed account is the first one
|
|
||||||
with an Opening Balance record. However, since Quicken explicitly
|
|
||||||
lists the account for every transaction in multi-account exports, you
|
|
||||||
aren't likely to get any transactions in the default account other
|
|
||||||
than those that are supposed to be there.

<a name="how-to"><h2>How to use the QIF Import dialog</h2></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The "Quick Start" guide: To load your files, click the "Select ..."
|
|
||||||
button in the Files tab to find the file, then click the "Load File"
|
|
||||||
button at the bottom of the Files tab to actually load it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<P>Repeat this until all your files are loaded (read the explanation
|
|
||||||
below to see why you should load all your files at the same time).
|
|
||||||
Check the Accounts and Categories dialogs and make corrections if
|
|
||||||
necessary. Then click the big OK button.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Why you need to load all your files at the same time:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>There are two different types of QIF files: those that describe
|
|
||||||
single accounts and those that describe multiple accounts. Both kinds
|
|
||||||
to try to be "complete" in representing all the transactions involving
|
|
||||||
each account that they represent. What this means is that if you have
|
|
||||||
multiple Quicken accounts, with transfers between them, transactions
|
|
||||||
will show up in multiple accounts. This means that if you aren't
|
|
||||||
smart about catching duplicate transactions you will end up with wrong
|
|
||||||
balances in GnuCash. Definitely a bad thing.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In order to get the best possible replication of your Quicken
|
|
||||||
account tree, export everything you can from Quicken and then import
|
|
||||||
it all in one session, either as a single QIF file representing all
|
|
||||||
your accounts together or as a single file for each account. The
|
|
||||||
importer's <a href="#dialog-files">Files tab</a> will allow you to
|
|
||||||
load as many QIF files as you want, and to make sure that the
|
|
||||||
currency, Quicken account name, and so on are right for each one. The
|
|
||||||
importer can do a really good job of catching cross-references (which
|
|
||||||
and marking them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The importer is written mostly in Guile, and it can be a little
|
|
||||||
slow on large QIF files. Load File takes 5-6 seconds for a QIF file
|
|
||||||
with 1000 or so transactions on my machine.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Once you have loaded all the files into the importer, go to the
|
|
||||||
<a href="#dialog-accounts">Accounts tab</a>, and then to the <a
|
|
||||||
href="#dialog-categories">Categories tab</a>, and check that the
|
|
||||||
importer is going to put your Quicken transactions in the right place.
|
|
||||||
You can click to pop up a dialog and change the GnuCash destination
|
|
||||||
account name/type for any QIF account. Don't be afraid to change
|
|
||||||
these destination accounts; they are merely guesses by the importer
|
|
||||||
based on the name and type of the QIF account. Mappings of Quicken
|
|
||||||
account to GnuCash account are written to a preferences file when you
|
|
||||||
click "OK", so if you import other Quicken files describing these same
|
|
||||||
accounts you won't have to correct the importer again.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Make sure (especially in the Accounts tab) that the QIF account
|
|
||||||
names and transaction counts make sense to you. If you see that one
|
|
||||||
QIF account is mentioned by two different names, make sure that the
|
|
||||||
"QIF Account" for every file in the Files tab is what you meant it to
|
|
||||||
be. If the QIF Account for a file is wrong, the importer won't be
|
|
||||||
able to match up transfers correctly and your balances will be wrong.
|
|
||||||
If a QIF Account for a file is wrong, select the file in the Files tab,
|
|
||||||
unmark the "Auto" checkbox, and edit the text box to contain the right
|
|
||||||
name, then click "Load File" again. You will be asked to confirm a
|
|
||||||
reload of the file and then it will be done. Flip back to the
|
|
||||||
Accounts tab, see if that fixed the problem, repeat as necessary.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>When you are happy with the account mappings (double check
|
|
||||||
them, and make sure to save your GnuCash session first just to be
|
|
||||||
sure), then and only then click OK. If you click Cancel at any time,
|
|
||||||
your accounts will not be touched.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Again, the importer is written mostly in Guile, and it can be a
|
|
||||||
little slow on large QIF files. It takes 3-4 seconds to stuff 1000
|
|
||||||
transactions into GnuCash on a Celeron 433, proportionately longer on
|
|
||||||
slower CPUs. You only have to do a large import like that a few
|
|
||||||
times, fortunately, so I'm not too worried about it.

|

|
|
||||||
<a name=dialog-files><h2>The "Files" Tab</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The first thing to do is load all your files. Click "Select
|
|
||||||
File", pick your file, then set the account, currency, radix, and date
|
|
||||||
fields, then click "Load File". The Currency field defaults to the
|
|
||||||
GnuCash default currency (set in the International tab of the
|
|
||||||
Preferences dialog). Try autodetecting radix, date format, and
|
|
||||||
account name first. The radix and date formats will stay on
|
|
||||||
"Autodetect" if the autodetector is not 100 percent sure of the right
|
|
||||||
answer; in that case, you will have to make a manual selection. You
|
|
||||||
probably know what the correct radix format is; if you're in the US or
|
|
||||||
the UK, it's definitely "decimal". Almost every QIF file I have seen
|
|
||||||
in the US is m/d/y for the date format, so try that if auto-detect
|
|
||||||
doesn't work.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To go back to a file that you have previously loaded, select
|
|
||||||
its name in the file list on the left. If you change settings for a
|
|
||||||
previously-loaded file, click "Load File" again to reload it with new
|
|
||||||
settings. Don't forget to turn off "Auto" on the QIF Account entry if
|
|
||||||
you manually enter it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If there's no Opening Balance record in the file, the account
|
|
||||||
name is guessed from the file name: any .qif extension is removed, and
|
|
||||||
all dashes and underscores are changed to spaces. If you want to save
|
|
||||||
yourself manually re-entering the name, save the file with a name that
|
|
||||||
will get guessed correctly (i.e. save the account "My Bank Account" as
|
|
||||||
My-Bank-Account.qif or My_Bank_Account.qif).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a name=dialog-accounts><h2>The "Accounts" and "Categories" Tabs</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Each line in the Accounts tab display represents a mapping from
|
|
||||||
a Quicken account to a GnuCash account. Similarly, the Categories tab
|
|
||||||
display shows mappings from Quicken categories to GnuCash
|
|
||||||
accounts. Only QIF accounts referenced by one or more transaction
|
|
||||||
records are displayed. The name of the GnuCash account is displayed
|
|
||||||
in "full name" format, including the names of all parent accounts
|
|
||||||
separated by your default separator character (generally ":").
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The first thing to check is the column of Quicken account
|
|
||||||
names. Make sure there are no duplicates with slightly-different
|
|
||||||
names. If a QIF transaction makes a transfer to [My Checking], and
|
|
||||||
you imported a file called my-checking.qif, you might have one account
|
|
||||||
entry for "my checking" and one for "My Checking". If these are the
|
|
||||||
same account, you need to go back to the Files tab and reload
|
|
||||||
my-checking.qif with the correct Quicken account name, My Checking.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Once you have all the Quicken accounts making sense, check the
|
|
||||||
GnuCash account column. The default GnuCash account for a given
|
|
||||||
Quicken account is determined by a fallback procedure which makes the
|
|
||||||
best guess it can given the available information. The guesses that
|
|
||||||
are tried are (in order of preference):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Saved mappings from previous import sessions. Each time you
|
|
||||||
click "OK" in the import dialog, the mappings that you have selected
|
|
||||||
are saved for the next time you import files. At the moment, the file
|
|
||||||
is always called ~/.gnucash/qif-accounts-map. If you get some weird
|
|
||||||
default mappings (for instance, if you change an account name and the
|
|
||||||
importer wants to keep creating a new account with the old name) just
|
|
||||||
delete this file. It's on my wishlist to make this work a little
|
|
||||||
more smoothly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Similar accounts from your existing GnuCash account tree.
|
|
||||||
"Similar" means that the account types are compatible and the names
|
|
||||||
could reasonably be assumed to refer to the same thing. Full-path
|
|
||||||
exact name matches are preferred most, followed by case-insensitive
|
|
||||||
matches, followed by matches with prepended account parents (i.e.
|
|
||||||
QIF account Visa matches GnuCash account Credit Cards:Visa), followed
|
|
||||||
by various substring matches. If you think of a good heuristic
|
|
||||||
for this, let me know.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>New account. The name of the new account is currently just
|
|
||||||
the same as the name of the Quicken account; again, if you think of a
|
|
||||||
good heuristic to make this better let me know. I've thought about
|
|
||||||
making it look for subtrees to insert into (if all existing credit
|
|
||||||
card accounts are children of an account, make the new account a child
|
|
||||||
of that account, etc). On the wishlist.
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Check both the name of the GnuCash account for each QIF account
|
|
||||||
and the type. If you are unhappy with either, click on the row in the
|
|
||||||
display containing the offensive mapping. You will see the
|
|
||||||
<a href="#dialog-picker">Account Picker</a> dialog which will allow you
|
|
||||||
to change it.

<a name=dialog-picker><h2>The Account Picker</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>This account picker is sort of broken. The idea is that you
|
|
||||||
can select an existing account from the tree display, or enter
|
|
||||||
information for a new account in the boxes below. However, right now
|
|
||||||
it's possible to do Very Bad things like specify a subaccount of an
|
|
||||||
existing account with a type that's not compatible with the parent.
|
|
||||||
As soon as I figure out how I want this dialog to work I'll fix it. I
|
|
||||||
have tested out the worst things that you can do and nothing terrible
|
|
||||||
happens, except your account tree might be in a state that you could
|
|
||||||
never have created through the GUI (a Credit Card account as a child
|
|
||||||
of a Bank account, for example). Don't do that. I'll fix it Real
|
|

Soon.

<a name="opening-balance"><h3>Opening Balance</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>If your Quicken files have "Opening Balance" records, you will
|
|
||||||
see an account called "Opening Balance" in the Accounts tab.
|
|
||||||
Accounting for the source of opening balances is sort of a hassle,
|
|
||||||
when you think about it, because they come from accounts that are
|
|
||||||
outside the scope of the GnuCash universe. The suggestion I've seen
|
|
||||||
on the gnucash-devel list is to make Opening Balances point to a
|
|
||||||
GnuCash account called "Retained Earnings", of type Equity. I don't
|
|
||||||
exactly understand this but it seems reasonable, and it's the default
|
|
||||||
for accounts called "Opening Balance".
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a name="empty-category"><h3>Empty category</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>In the Categories display, you may notice a blank QIF Category
|
|
||||||
entry. Quicken transactions are not required to have a Category, but
|
|
||||||
GnuCash transactions are required to have a source and a destination.
|
|
||||||
The blank category lets you select which GnuCash account all
|
|
||||||
uncategorized transactions go to. This will generally be
|
|
||||||
miscellaneous checks you have written, cash withdrawals, and so on, so
|
|
||||||
you probably want to put these in a "Misc Expenses" account or
|
|
||||||
something similar. It may make sense to put this in an equity
|
|
||||||
account; let me know if there's a good explanation for how it should
|
|
||||||
be.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a name="dividend-category"><h3>Dividend category</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Quicken stock transactions have a recognizable pattern for
|
|
||||||
dividend payments. If the importer can definitely tell that a
|
|
||||||
transaction is a transfer from dividends then it will default to
|
|
||||||
creating a "Dividend" income account. This category is usually not
|
|
||||||
present in the Quicken file, so it's being manufactured out of
|
|
||||||
nowhere.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a name="fund-families"><h3>Fund families</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Quicken has the abstraction of a single account representing a
|
|
||||||
"fund family" for the purpose of allowing smooth transfers between the
|
|
||||||
various accounts administered within the family. The GnuCash Importer
|
|
||||||
will ALWAYS get this wrong the first time, because Quicken explicitly
|
|
||||||
puts the wrong information in the file. The "blanket" account
|
|
||||||
representing the fund family as a whole should probably be a Bank
|
|
||||||
account, since the transfers to and from it in the Quicken file are
|
|
||||||
denominated in currency, not shares. The balance of such an account
|
|
||||||
is supposed to always be 0 since you just use it as an intermediary
|
|
||||||
between two accounts in the family. Hopefully I'll fix this at some
|
|
||||||
point if someone tells me how it's supposed to work.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<a name="brokerage-accounts"><h3>Brokerage accounts</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Brokerage accounts are really confusing to me. Basically, my
|
|
||||||
thinking is that the brokerage account itself should probably be a
|
|
||||||
Bank account. The only weirdness is in stuff like dividends paid from
|
|
||||||
securities to the brokerage account. If you're using a Dividend
|
|
||||||
account, you can lose the information about where the dividend came
|
|
||||||
from. The importer tries to save this information by putting the
|
|
||||||
security name in the Payee slot (which shows up in the GnuCash
|
|
||||||
Description field for the transaction). If you have a better idea,
|
|
||||||
let me know.

|
||||||
<h1>Quicken (TM) User's Guide</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Not all accounting systems use the same words to describe
|
|
||||||
the same concepts. The following are some notes that may be
|
|
||||||
helpful to users accustomed to Intuit's products.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Quicken Categories</h1>
|
|
||||||
<a name="QUICKENCATS"></a>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>What Quicken calls <tt>Categories</tt> are really just <a
|
|
||||||
href="xacc-expense.html">Income/Expense accounts</a>. Thus, if
|
|
||||||
you are used to specifying a category in Quicken, just create
|
|
||||||
an income/expense account of the same name in GnuCash, and use
|
|
||||||
that as the name of the account.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Quicken QIF File Import</h1>
|
|
||||||
<a name="QIF"></a> GnuCash supports the import of Quicken
|
|
||||||
Import Files (QIF). (Note: Only Quicken Version 3.0 QIF has
|
|
||||||
been formally tested so far.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Note that the QIF format is representative of a somewhat
|
|
||||||
peculiar data model that is not as expressive as one might
|
|
||||||
wish; it requires dumping out a separate data file for each
|
|
||||||
account, rather than permitting you to have one file that
|
|
||||||
represents <em>all</em> of the accounts you might have had in
|
|
||||||
Quicken.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Furthermore, while there are plans to do so in the future,
|
|
||||||
there is not, at this point, a way of mapping the account or
|
|
||||||
category names used in Quicken to a <em>different</em> set of
|
|
||||||
account names that you might be using in GnuCash.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>As a result, please read this section carefully. You may be
|
|
||||||
somewhat disappointed with the results of a QIF import; this
|
|
||||||
will at least give you some more accurate expectations as to
|
|
||||||
what will happen.</p>
|
|
||||||
|

<h2>Creating QIF Files</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To create a set of Quicken <tt>QIF</tt> files, perform the
|
|
||||||
following procedure:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Start Quicken.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>It works on <a href="http://www.winehq.com/">Wine,</a>
|
|
||||||
Caldera's Wabi, and doubtless on VMWare, so this may not
|
|
||||||
forcibly require that you run Windows.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Select the account that you wish to export.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Quicken can only export one account to each data file,
|
|
||||||
which means that if you have many accounts, this may prove
|
|
||||||
to be a somewhat tedious process. (On the other hand, it
|
|
||||||
should be a whole lot <em>less</em> tedious than entering
|
|
||||||
the data from scratch.)</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Choose the menu <tt>File</tt> and select the <tt>
|
|
||||||
Export...</tt> menu entry.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>This will provide a dialog that requests a filename,
|
|
||||||
effective dates, as well as a series of checkboxes,
|
|
||||||
including <tt>Transactions</tt>, <tt>Accounts List</tt>,
|
|
||||||
<tt>Category List</tt>, and so forth.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>For best results, you should make sure that those three
|
|
||||||
are checked.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you do <em>not</em> check the <tt>Accounts List</tt>
|
|
||||||
box, then the name of your account will likely be lost, and
|
|
||||||
that will cause problems when you try to import the data
|
|
||||||
into GnuCash later.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
Now you have a set of <tt>.QIF</tt> files, and should run
|
|
||||||
GnuCash.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Loading QIF files into GnuCash</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>To import a Quicken QIF file, choose the menu <tt>
|
|
||||||
File</tt> and select the entry <tt>Import QIF</tt>.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>The imported file will be merged with whatever other data
|
|
||||||
you currently have in GnuCash. The merge allows multiple
|
|
||||||
Quicken accounts to be imported and merged into one account
|
|
||||||
group.<br>
|
|
||||||
<br>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h2>Things To Note About QIF Import</h2>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b>Duplicate Entry Scanning</b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Note that during merge, a scan is made for duplicate
|
|
||||||
transactions, and duplicates are removed. A duplicate
|
|
||||||
transaction is one where the date, description (payee),
|
|
||||||
memo, quantity, share price, and debited/credited accounts
|
|
||||||
or categories match <em>exactly.</em> Thus, the merge <em>
|
|
||||||
should</em> be safe unless you have multiple transactions
|
|
||||||
on the same date, to the same account, for the same amount,
|
|
||||||
with the same description and memo.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>This unfortunately <em>can</em> occur, the typical
|
|
||||||
scenario involving where you make multiple withdrawals of
|
|
||||||
identical amounts from ATM machines on the same day.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b>Empty Accounts</b>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Note that when the <tt>Accounts List</tt> and <tt>
|
|
||||||
Category List</tt> is exported from Quicken, <b>all</b>
|
|
||||||
accounts and categories will be exported, even if they are
|
|
||||||
empty and contain no transactions. When these are imported,
|
|
||||||
they will appear as accounts with a balance of zero. If you
|
|
||||||
do not plan to use such accounts, feel free to delete them.
|
|
||||||
Future enhancements may allow you to delete them "en
|
|
||||||
masse," or to make them invisible without deleting
|
|
||||||
them.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<b>QIF Mark II</b> An ongoing project is to build an
|
|
||||||
alternative import utility in Guile that will be more
|
|
||||||
flexible, and which, by virtue of being stored as a set of
|
|
||||||
Scheme scripts, may be modified without needing to
|
|
||||||
recompile the whole application.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>At this point, it successfully parses <tt>QIF</tt>
|
|
||||||
files; what remains is the (rather complex task) of
|
|
||||||
determine appropriate correspondences between the Quicken
|
|
||||||
<b>Categories</b> and the GnuCash equivalents. That is one
|
|
||||||
of the most significant weaknesses with the present QIF
|
|
||||||
import scheme.</p>

<h1>Reconciliation Window</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The Reconciliation window is used to reconcile your GnuCash accounts
|
|
||||||
with statements that banks or other institutions send you.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>For example, when you write a check for something, you
|
|
||||||
should enter the transaction into GnuCash. The reconciliation (R)
|
|
||||||
field of the transaction will initially contain 'n' (not reconciled).
|
|
||||||
Later, if you think that the check has been cashed, you might click on
|
|
||||||
the transaction's R field to change it to 'c' (cleared, but not
|
|
||||||
reconciled).</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>At the end of the month, you receive your bank statement,
|
|
||||||
perhaps including canceled checks. At <em>that</em> point, you
|
|
||||||
should "reconcile" the account, that is, match your personal
|
|
||||||
records with the documentation provided by the bank.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><p>Open the reconcile window by selecting 'Reconcile...' from the
|
|
||||||
'Accounts' menu of the account's <a href="xacc-regwin.html">Register
|
|
||||||
window</a>. GnuCash will prompt you for some information from the
|
|
||||||
statement:</p>
|
|
||||||
<p><img src="recninfo.gif"></p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
<p>Enter the date of the end of the period that the statement covers,
|
|
||||||
and the final balance from the statement, and press 'OK'.</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>The Reconcile window will pop-up. The reconcile window looks
|
|
||||||
like this:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
<img src="recnwin.gif">
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The 'Funds In' and 'Funds Out' groups lists all the unreconciled
|
|
||||||
transactions. The '?' columns show whether the transactions have
|
|
||||||
been cleared or reconciled.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Now, examine each item on the statement.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Look for the matching item in the Reconcile window. If you
|
|
||||||
cannot find one, then perhaps you forgot to enter a transaction, or
|
|
||||||
did not know that the transaction had happened. You can use the
|
|
||||||
'New' button on the tool bar, or the 'New' menu item in the
|
|
||||||
'Transaction' menu, to open a register window and enter the missing
|
|
||||||
transaction. The new item will appear in the Reconcile window when
|
|
||||||
you press 'enter' after entering the transaction.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>When you find the item in the Reconcile window, compare the
|
|
||||||
amount to the amount on the statement. If they disagree, you may
|
|
||||||
have made an error when you entered the transaction in GnuCash.
|
|
||||||
You can use the 'Edit' button on the tool bar, or the 'Edit' menu
|
|
||||||
item in the 'Transaction' menu, to open a register window and
|
|
||||||
correct the transaction.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If the amounts agree, click on the item in the Reconcile
|
|
||||||
window. The '?' column will change to 'y' (reconciled) from 'n' or
|
|
||||||
'c'.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You then repeat this for each item that appears on the
|
|
||||||
bank statement, verifying that the amounts match with the
|
|
||||||
amounts in GnuCash, and marking off transactions in GnuCash
|
|
||||||
as they are reconciled.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>At the bottom of the window is a difference field, which
|
|
||||||
should be 0 when you are done reconciling. If it isn't,
|
|
||||||
then you have either missed transactions, or some amounts may
|
|
||||||
be incorrect in GnuCash. (Or, probably rather less likely,
|
|
||||||
the bank may have made an error.)
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>When you have completed marking off all the items on the
|
|
||||||
bank statement, and when the difference is 0, you
|
|
||||||
may press the Finish button on the tool bar, or select the 'Finish'
|
|
||||||
item from the 'Reconcile' menu. The Reconcile window will close. In
|
|
||||||
the Register window, the R field of the reconciled transactions will
|
|
||||||
change to 'y'.

<img src="regwin-single.gif">
|
|

|
|
||||||
<p>This is the "Register" or the "Ledger" window. Transactions
|
|
||||||
are entered here.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To enter a new transaction, just type into the last blank
|
|
||||||
transaction. As well as just typing them in, ou can use can use
|
|
||||||
the <a href="xacc-date.html">Date Accelerator keys</a> to quickly
|
|
||||||
enter dates. Use the mouse or the <a
|
|
||||||
href="xacc-regwin_kbd.html">Register Keyboard Shortcuts</a>to move
|
|
||||||
between fields, and hit the Enter key or click record to record
|

the transaction:</p> <img src="regwin-single2.gif">
|

<p>Notice how a the transaction has been recorded and a new,

blank transaction has been created.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You can edit existing transactions in a similar manner.
|
|
||||||
GnuCash will prompt you to confirm any changes you make.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>After you have entered a few transactions, GnuCash will try to
|
|
||||||
guess some or all of the remaining details of a transaction when
|
|
||||||
you type into the "Description" field. If GnuCash has guessed wrong,
|
|
||||||
simply type over or delete the incorrect information and replace it
|
|
||||||
with the correct information.</p>
|
|
||||||
<h1>Manipulating transactions</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You can manipulate transactions with the toolbar or the
|
|
||||||
"Transaction" menu:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><b>Delete:</b> you can delete a transaction or an
|
|
||||||
individual split.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><b>Cancel:</b> this reverts any changes you have made to
|
|
||||||
the transaction you are currently entering/changing</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><b>New:</b> this moves the cursor to the last line of the
|
|
||||||
register where new transactions are entered</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><b>Jump:</b> When placed over an existing transaction, it
|
|
||||||
takes you to the corresponding register entry in the other
|
|
||||||
register entry that this transaction appears in</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><b>Transfer:</b>This is an alternative way to enter a
|
|
||||||
transaction. You can do a transfer between any two accounts
|
|
||||||
without opening up other registers.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><b>Close:</b>Closes this register</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Viewing Transactions</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The register can show transactions in a variety of different
|
|
||||||
ways, controlled by entries on the "Register" menu.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The register can display transactions in several different
|
|
||||||
styles:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li><b>single-line mode:</b> transactions are displayed on a
|
|
||||||
single line.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><b>double-line mode:</b> transactions are displayed over
|
|
||||||
two lines, with more information about each transaction
|
|
||||||
shown.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><b>multi-line mode:</b> transactions are displayed over
|
|
||||||
multiple lines, allowing the display of multiple entries.
|
|
||||||
This allows you to enter multi-split transactions (for
|
|
||||||
instance, when you pay multiple bills with one check).</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li><b>auto-single and auto-double modes</b> are like single
|
|
||||||
and double-line modes, except that the currently-edited
|
|
||||||
transaction is displayed in multi-line form. This is a very
|
|
||||||
convenient way of entering multi-account transactions.</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To change the display style, to go the "Register" menu and
|
|
||||||
select "style".</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Existing transactions are normally displayed in date order,
|
|
||||||
but this can also be changed with "Sort Order". You can also
|
|
||||||
select a date rate from which transactions will be displayed
|
|
||||||
with "Date Range".</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Reconciliation</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Transactions are typically checked against bank statements -
|
|
||||||
a process known as "reconciliation". GnuCash keeps track of the
|
|
||||||
reconciliation status of each transaction.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The reconciliation status of a transaction is shown by the
|
|
||||||
reconciliation (R) field: 'y' indicates that a transaction has
|
|
||||||
been reconciled, 'n' indicates that it has not, and 'c' indicates that
|
|
||||||
it has been cleared, but not reconciled. You can change
|
|
||||||
the reconciliation status by clicking on a the 'r' field of the
|
|
||||||
transaction.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>At the bottom of the account window, there are two running
|
|
||||||
balances, the "cleared and reconciled" balance, and the "total"
|
|
||||||
balance... the "cleared and reconciled" balance should
|
|
||||||
correspond to how much money the bank thinks you have in your
|
|
||||||
account, and the "total" balance includes outstanding
|
|
||||||
transactions.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Reconciliation can be done in the <a href=
|
|
||||||
"xacc-recnwin.html">Reconcile Window</a></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<h1>Stock Portfolios</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You can do stock transactions either from a single-stock
|
|
||||||
window, or from a portfolio-view window, shown below.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p><img src="foliowin.gif"><br>
|
|
||||||
<img src="foliowin-single.gif"></p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The portfolio ledger can seem a bit daunting at first
|
|
||||||
sight.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you have trouble understanding it, then you may wish to
|
|
||||||
create an account for each stock you wish to track.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Some important points to remember about the portfolio
|
|
||||||
window:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
It shows <em>all</em> stocks in your portfolio, not just
|
|
||||||
one.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The share amounts shown are for each particular
|
|
||||||
stock.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Note that it uses a two line display.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Debited accounts and debited amounts are on the upper
|
|
||||||
line, and credited amounts and accounts are on the lower
|
|
||||||
line.</p>
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>If you buy or sell a stock with money from the brokerage
|
|
||||||
account, the total balance will not change, since the value
|
|
||||||
of the stock equals the amount of money exchanged.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>If you buy or sell a stock with money from the brokerage
|
|
||||||
account, the value of the transaction will appear twice, once
|
|
||||||
in red, and once in black. If shares are purchased, the
|
|
||||||
amount of money debited from the brokerage account will be in
|
|
||||||
red, and the value of the shares in black. If shares are
|
|
||||||
sold, then value of the shares is in red, and the money
|
|
||||||
credited to the brokerage account in black.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>If you are having trouble indicating a share
|
|
||||||
purchase/sale in the portfolio ledger, then make sure that
|
|
||||||
<b>Transfer From</b> and <b>Transfer To</b> accounts are in
|
|
||||||
the right order. A transfer from a stock account is always
|
|
||||||
interpreted as a sale, even if you entered the data as a
|
|
||||||
purchase. The vice-versa is also true.</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Eventually, an alternative simpler portfolio ledger
|
|
||||||
window may be provided.</li>

||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The report is displayed in a resizable, scrollable window.

<ul>
|
|

<h1>Constructing custom reports</h1>
|
|
||||||
It is possible to write your own reports to meet your own
|
|
||||||
needs, if you can program a little. You will need to know
|
|
||||||
Scheme (a LISP-like programming language), and it is an
|
|
||||||
excellent idea to have a copy of the Gnucash source code
|
|
||||||
available.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The reporting interface is presently undocumented, but you
|
|
||||||
can get a good idea of how it works by examining the file
|
|
||||||
src/scm/report/hello-world.scm in the GnuCash source
|
|
||||||
distribution.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>You will also need to access data from the "engine" to get
|
|
||||||
information for your report. This is performed by a set of
|
|
||||||
Scheme wrapper functions that are documented in the file
|
|
||||||
src/g-wrap/gnc.html. You may wish to examine some of the other
|
|
||||||
reports in src/scm/report for an indication of how they are
|
|
||||||
used.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>At present, reports are produced by internally creating HTML
|
|
||||||
and rendering this with a HTML widget. (Future versions of
|
|
||||||
GnuCash will hopefully support a more flexible system).</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If you need more information, or have developed a new report
|
|
||||||
that may be of use to others, please contact the GnuCash
|
|
||||||
development mailing list at <a href=
|
|
||||||
"mailto:gnucash-devel@gnucash.org">

<h1>Stock Pricing and Ticker Symbols</h1>
|
|
||||||
GnuCash provides a somewhat rudimentary automated stock quote
|
|
||||||
gathering system.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If a GnuCash <a href="xacc-acctypes.html#stockacct">stock
|
|
||||||
account</a> is suitably configured, and the host computer is
|
|
||||||
connected to the Internet, the program <tt>gnc-prices</tt> may
|
|
||||||
be used to load stock and mutual fund price quotes from various
|
|
||||||
web sites directly into GnuCash.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To make use of this facility, the following must be
|
|
||||||
done:</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Create an account and mark it as being of type "Mutual
|
|
||||||
Fund" or "Stock".</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Enter a valid ticker symbol in the box marked
|
|
||||||
"Security:"</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Select a quote source from the pull-down menu. Currently
|
|
||||||
supported quote sources include <b>Yahoo</b>, <b>Yahoo
|
|
||||||
Europe</b>, <b>Fidelity Investments</b>, <b>T. Rowe
|
|
||||||
Price</b>, the <b>Vanguard Group</b>, <b>the Australian Stock
|
|
||||||
Exchange</b> (ASX) and <b>TIAA-CREF</b>. Note that Yahoo will
|
|
||||||
provide price quotes for many mutual funds <i>including</i>
|
|
||||||
Fidelity, T.Rowe Price and Vanguard, and that the quoted
|
|
||||||
prices at Yahoo <i>should</i> be identical to those that may
|
|
||||||
be found at the source sites (otherwise, somebody's reporting
|
|
||||||
wrong information!). If you choose Yahoo Europe, you should
|
|
||||||
append the market code for the security, such as PA for
|
|
||||||
Paris, BE for Berlin, etc. Example: 12150.PA (a Peugeot
|
|
||||||
security in the Paris market).</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>
|
|
||||||
Ensure that the currency of the account matches the source
|
|
||||||
of the stock you have selected. This means:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>Quotes from the <b>Australian Stock Exchange</b>
|
|
||||||
(ASX) should be in Australian dollars (AUD).</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Quotes from <b>Yahoo Europe</b> should be in Euros
|
|
||||||
(ECU)</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>Quotes from <b>Yahoo</b>, <b>Fidelity
|
|
||||||
Investments</b>, <b>T. Rowe Price</b> and the <b>Vanguard
|
|
||||||
Group</b> should be in US Dollars (USD).</li>
|

|
|

|
|
||||||
<p>To update the prices stored in a gnucash account file, run
|
|
||||||
the command line command <tt>gnc-price</tt>, specifying the
|
|
||||||
filename; for example:</p>
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
gnc-prices myaccts.xac
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Running this command will print various diagnostic messages
|
|
||||||
to the screen while it loads data. It will work only when the
|
|
||||||
host computer is attached to the Internet. It can function in
|
|
||||||
conjunction with masquerading-style firewalls and proxy
|
|
||||||
servers.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The command can be run many times in one day; however, it
|
|
||||||
will update the accounts at most once with the most recent
|
|
||||||
trading days price data.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Thus, if <tt>gnc-prices</tt> is run on Friday, Saturday,
|
|
||||||
Sunday and Monday, only two price entries will be made: one
|
|
||||||
containing Friday's data, and one containing Monday's data,
|
|
||||||
since the Saturday and Sunday runs will only retrieve the
|
|
||||||
Friday closing price.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>To keep <tt>gnc-prices</tt> from updating one account, while
|
|
||||||
allowing it to update another account, merely mark the data
|
|
||||||
source for that account as <tt>(none)</tt>. You can do this
|
|
||||||
from the <tt>Edit Account</tt> window.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>After running <tt>gnc-prices</tt> for a few days, your
|
|

accounts will begin to resemble the following:<br>

<h1>GnuCash Y2K Readiness</h1>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>GnuCash versions 1.1.25 and later store all dates as seconds
|
|
||||||
and nanoseconds, where the seconds are stored in a 64-bit
|
|
||||||
signed integer. This should suffice to store dates into both
|
|
||||||
the distant past as well as the distant future, so long as they
|
|
||||||
fall not <em>too</em> many orders of magnitude outside
|
|
||||||
cosmologists' estimations of the age of the universe.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>The file format for version 1.1.25 and later stores dates in
|
|
||||||
the above-described fashion.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Some internal routines use the <tt>time_t</tt> type to
|
|
||||||
express seconds. Note that on most OSes, this is a 32-bit
|
|
||||||
quantity, and is thus limited to the Unix epoch, roughly
|
|
||||||
December 1901 thru Jan 2038. It is reasonable to expect that
|
|
||||||
<tt>time_t</tt> will migrate to the use of 64 bit values by
|
|
||||||
that time.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Backup and log files are time-stamped using the standard
|
|
||||||
Unix <tt>ctime()</tt> routine, which takes a <tt>time_t</tt>
|
|
||||||
argument. Thus, the backup and log mechanism may experience
|
|
||||||
trouble in 2038, assuming your present Unix continues to be in
|
|
||||||
service at that time without any remediation.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Note that GnuCash also correctly recognizes February 29th,
|
|
||||||
2000 as a "leap day," another of the "critical Y2K dates."</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>This is all highly suggestive that GnuCash should cope
|
|
||||||
reasonably well with the transition to the new millennium,
|
|
||||||
whether that take place in 2000 or in 2001...</p>
