I don't understand this. Why can't you create customers?

SXes don't actually "exist" until they post. None of the reports know how
to look at unposted SXes, because technically they don't exist yet.
Moreover, they could have variables, meaning the reporting engine might not
even KNOW what the value of the transaction will be in the future.
As John suggested, you can set up your SXes to post in advance, up to
300 days in advance if I recall. Then the reports will see them.

This is a slight side track from your original question:
What error did you get when trying to build against guile 2 ?

Title says it all. After the crash any OFX file I try to import shows no
transactions in the import window. It is always blank. Even with files I
already imported successfully in the past.
Already tried to reinstall, restart, clear registry, remove the .gnucash and
all .gconf and .gnome folders to no avail.
Is there any way to reset the OFX importer to its initial state? Maybe
something got corrupted.
I am on Windows 7 32 bits and using Gnucash 2.6.3
Thanks and Regards.

sorry, i can, but it doesnt make a lot sense for me as less than 10% of the
customers get more than one invoice.
I would rather like to have the memo-field and the description field
populated with the relating information as i need more than the customer
name and invoice-number anyway. Should i try a different gnucash version? As
i said, the memo field is populated in the importers preview table but
doesnt end up in accounts receivable.

Hi,
Please help - I would like to create a General Ledger report for all
transactions for a specified time period.
However, when I select 'Transaction Report' I do not know what to do next.
I have tried choosing 'Select All' under the 'Accounts' tab under Options,
but that did not work.
Then, I tried selecting each parent account, and then selecting 'Select
Children,' but that only produced a report for the last selected parent
account group.
Also, I would like to see the 'split' information for each transaction, as
well.
I am really frustrated, as this is not as intuitive as compared to QB.
Thanks!

that is correct. I made a mistake on posting this as a bug without further
analysis. Please ignore this post and I apologize for any inconvenience. It
is importing correctly once I tried a new file. Regards.

Use Tools=>General Ledger to open the General Ledger register.
Right-click within this register and use the ?Filter By? option to choose
the date range in which you?re interested.
Use Reports=>Account Report to produce the report.
Use the Options button to make adjustments to the way this report is
displayed.

up!
Anyway I thought I'd add a comment to this thread just to say that although
I do use the Business > Customer > Invoice tools to set up invoices, I often
go to the Accounts Receivable view just to check that they've been correctly
processed, and also to look up information such as invoice numbers, which I
find easier than using the built-in search tools. In fact I'm a small
business, so I always have my Current Account and Accounts Payable windows
open, and that's about all I look at.
I'd prefer it if I didn't have to look at four lines per transaction, as it
clutters the view and makes it harder to find what I'm looking for. To that
end, I'd second having a "Hide/View Lot Links" function. Or maybe they could
be hidden/revealed on an invoice by invoice basis with a toggle.
I'm just giving this feedback as its clear that many "normal users" don't
behave as expected: nothing new there I guess. :-)

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your clarifications. I understand GnuCash is just a tool and
everybody uses a tool in
his own particular way. With all the reactions I got so far, it's clear you
all are very creative in
finding useful ways to use gnucash - intended or not :)
Anyway concerning the topic of lot links. I did think a lot about this (no
pun intended) and I
don't believe that showing/hiding lot links is the proper solution. That
will lead to confusion and
mistakes.
The better solution is to reduce the use of lot links. While revisiting this
I found that a direct
transaction between two lots in the AP/AR registers is only required when
two documents of
opposite sign are involved, like when you offset a bill/invoice with a
credit note for example.
In all other payment cases the old behaviour of 2.4 can still be used (with
some minor
adaptations).
The good news is that I have reworked this code for the upcoming 2.6.4
release. Most payments
will be handled similar to what used to be in 2.4. Only when you have an
invoice/bill to offset
with a credit note a lot link will be created. For this particular case I
have also altered the memo
on the transaction to make it more clear what the transaction is doing
exactly.
In addition I have extended "Action->Check & Repair->This/All/Sub
account(s)" to clean up all
unnecessary lot links that do exist currently. So the existing mess can be
cleaned up as well.
