RES: Project cost accounting.

[David T.]

Andre--

I suspect that linuxGuy is looking for some sort of feature similar to Quicken's Classes, which allow a user to insert an additional organizing data element into a transaction, and report on that.

@LinuxGuy: if that is what you are looking for, you will have to accept the fact that Gnucash doesn't offer anything like Quicken classes. It is one of the most-requested features that new users of Gnucash seek, but to this date, no one has stepped up to program the feature in.

Your only option is to set up the separate accounts structures in the way that you described.

David

Dear Linuxguy,

There are infinite ways to track project costs in Gnucash.

I recommend that you start with a simple account structure and increment it
along the project lifecycle.

My answer is some generic because you will identify specific needs.

Regards.

Assunto: Project cost accounting.

I need to set up an accounting system for a small business.

The business does projects and needs to track costs on a project by project
basis.

Short of setting up cost accounts for each project, how could they track
project costs in GC ?

Thanks
