gnu cash v 2.6.19 on Mac OS X 10.13.3 Income Expense problem solved.

OK, it is now working. When I first set up the “Sales” top level I must have missed the account type somehow.  Thank you for your time.  I did check out the documentation but couldn’t find anything.

Learning curves.

Thank you Dave H. for your quick response.

The Account Type display box shows only:  Bank, Cash, Asset, Credit Card, Liability, Stock, Mutual Fund, A/Receivable and A/Payable.  

“Expense" and “Income" are NOT showing up in the Account Type box.  That is my question.  How do I fix that?

Click on Accounts tab if not already the focus, click New icon (Create a New Account), select "New top level account" in Parent Account listbox, select "Expense" in Account Type listbox and click OK to create a top level expense account, Then create your expense accounts under the top level expense account just created.  Same holds good for Income Accounts.

Easier to start with one of the pre-defined COA's and adjust to suit perhaps :-)

Hello,
While attempting to set up a chart of accounts, account type does not include Income or Expense.  Is there a fix or a table I can update?

Thank you.  I am testing this system for simple accounting/bookkeeping for a friend’s small business.
