2 questions on Gnu-cash

[John]

Xavier,

 

I couldn’t do anything with the transaction I wanted. I had not put any data in it. Now I see that it will not let me delete the transaction, and shows a cannot delete this transaction with a comment that it was marked as “void”. There is no data in the transaction except the desc, but I guess this is just accounting procedures.

I tried to enter the transaction again with the same letters but reverse capitalisation and it still showed the previous wording. I could however delete this transaction.

 

The only solution I found was to use different words or spelling. Then it was OK and I could use the new desc.

Thanks for your help.

 

John

Hello John,

 

I can't tell for the first question. As for the second from my experience the quickfill entries are updated on the fly. Devs here are welcome to correct me if I am wrong. If I am right that means that if you search and fix all the transactions that contain the mispelled entry, it should disappear from the quickfill suggestions. If it doesn't you can try closing and reopening GC to make sure it is not cached.

 

As for finding the misspelled transactions, the search tool should do the trick. After all you already know the precise spelling mistake that was made, so you know what to look for.

 

Best regards,

  Xavier

 I have just joined the forum.
1.      How can I do a thread or subject search through all listings?   I
looked at one month's listings but want a more global scan.
2.      Quckfill works  too well. How do I remove any (misspelled) entry,
which  keeps appearing when I type the first letter?
