Credit card/overdraft credit limit & available funds?

[David T.]

Unfortunately, that is not a feature of Gnucash. Your solution of monitoring the balances by putting the limits into the Notes field is how I'd do that. Perhaps your mentioning it here will spur some programmer-minded person to take the suggestion and implement it.

Cheers,
David

Subject: Credit card/overdraft credit limit & available funds?
 
Is there some way of entering the credit limit for a credit card or overdraft so that GnuCash can display the funds available to draw on the account?

I had a look at the documentation and the FAQ, and searched the mailing list archive and couldn't find any mention of a facility like this.

Normally we are a long way under our CC limits, but we're currently renovating and the cards are getting a good workout to take maximum advantage of their interest-free periods, and it would be handy to be able to see how far we are from their limits.

I'd have thought that for business users being able to readily see the amount that is available to draw from an account with an overdraft facility would also be useful.

For now I've just entered the limits in the accounts' respective Notes fields, and display the Notes column in the chart of accounts. It's a useful reminder, but it doesn't do what I'd like to be able to do.

Have I missed something really obvious here?
