How to sort/track projects as well as categories/accounts

[David T.]

Bob--

The page you cite is actually a request from other users for Gnucash to provide the kind of classification you seek--not an outline of that feature. The Account Classification feature is pretty regularly requested, but is not something that exists in Gnucash at this time. None of the active developers has chosen to prioritize this feature, and no one new has stepped up to code the functionality into the application. Your only options are some of the workarounds that users have suggested over the years.

Sorry to break the bad news,
David

Subject: How to sort/track projects as well as categories/accounts
 

I'm trying to help a non-profit get a handle on their accounts using 
GnuCash which I use myself for personal accounting/bookkeeping. They 
have three "corporate" entities, multiple projects, cash, bank accounts 
and credit cards, in addition to the more or less standard expense and 
revenue categories/accounts. I've seen a reference to meta-accounts at 
gnucash.uservoice.com 
<http://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/1543027-transaction-classifications> 
which looks like a possible solution, but I can't find any reference 
anywhere I've looked at what a 'meta-account' is, much less how to set 
it up.

Can anyone help me?

Bob Thomson
