Dear friends
I have been using Gnucash for over 4 years. I have now tried the option of shares/ mutual funds.
I am facing a problem that while the concerned fund account is showing properly, in the overall screen with all accounts displayed, the amount is showing some different value.  It seems to take a single value for displaying all amounts. 
requesting inputs on this
regardsVenkatadri

>Hi,

In the course of trying to address shortfalls in documentation around 
reports, I began poking around in the various Budget reports and 
features, and I wanted some explanation on a number of points. Bear with 
me if I ask questions that are meaningless; I do not use the Budget 
features much, and probably don?t understand the original intent of 
the various reports. Add in the fact that I Am Not An Accountant, and 
you will further understand my questions.


I am in a cycle of Budgeting and Reporting on Budgets between now and 
early November, David T, so now would be a good time to ask for details.

I won't necessarily be using all of the Budget Reports naturally but 
I'll have all of the Actions -> Budget stuff ready to hand and be using 
most of the reports if not all of the options.

It would be easy for me to bounce my known Budgets against the various 
Reports -> Budget as your curiosity takes you when doing the 
documentation.

P.S. Have you been put off documenting this?  I wouldn't blame you.  I 
think it is a progressive thing, each person does a bit.

Wm,

Your initial reply successfully convinced me that, since I am not using the budget reports myself, I should defer the documentation to someone who does. Feel free to write up documentation regarding the budget features, and how the specific reports are intended to be used. I have neither the time nor the mental bandwidth to manage it.

David

Subject: Struggling with Invoicing Prepaid Service
Message-ID: <1444568119908-4680958.post at n4.nabble.com>

I've been using Freshbooks for invoicing and expense tracking for my
consulting business. It's time to move to something more full featured. As a
longtime Linux user, GnuCash is the obvious first choice. I'm testing
GnuCash 2.6.6 out now on Windows 10.

Many of my customers prepay for my time in blocks so I need to issue them an
invoice upfront and deduct from the paid amount as I work. I think that I
have the prepayment aspect working correctly but I'm struggling with Invoice
payment.

When I create an invoice, 13% HST is added on to the invoice according to
the tax table. For the sake of even numbers lets say the invoice is for
$5000 + $650 in applicable taxes. When I post the invoice I get $5000 in
Assets>Accounts Receivable
$650 in Liabilities>HST
This makes sense to me. 

When I receive payment. I would like to have the $5000 go into
Liabilities>Unearned Revenue but I'm uncertain what to do with the remaining
$650. Receiving payment of the posted invoice puts all $5650 into the
Transfer account that I choose during the payment process. Obviously my
customer shouldn't have the full $5650 at their disposal, but I'm uncertain
what the logical steps would be to relocate that $650. I think my question
is probably more of an accounting issue than a GnuCash issue but I suspect
that I'll get better information here than elsewhere. Can anyone offer any
advice on how I should more appropriately receive payment on an invoice?
