[GNC] Are there any add-on modules for Gnucash

While there is the option to use a database backend, there is currently no support for *writing* to the db from anything other than GnuCash, it should only be read. (this will be possible eventually)

There is also a separate program called PieCash, but that too is for reading only.

The auto-fill feature helps considerably when entering transactions as does the Duplicate Transaction function. You’d either only need to change dates, or edit a few data points after filling or duplicating.

You can import transactions as well, so if you have some other software that is generating the activity, you might be able to massage it into debits and credits and use the importer. I would suspect a spreadsheet with a few macros, or even a text file with a script can do the job.

Otherwise, if you have a case of say, high volume day trading, you are probably limited to tracking most of the activity outside of GnuCash, generating daily net transactions and just entering/importing those.

Regards,
Adrien
