[GNC] Suggestions for personal use of GnuCash

[David Cousens]

Richard

For personal use just select Common Accounts and deselect the Business
Accounts when creating the account heirarchy. This is usually the default
setup. For an existing heirarchy make sure there are no transactions to the
A/R, A/P accounts ( transfer them to other accounts as appropriate) and
delete them from the account heirarchy.

There is no contacts database outside the customer/vendor lists in the
business features and I don't think there are any plans to add one.

You can use cut and paste within the description field or even simpler use
Transaction->Transaction Duplicate to duplicate an existing transaction
containing the description item you wish to use and then edit the date
description accounts and amounts in the duplicated transaction as
appropriate to create a new transaction using a common descriptor item as a
tag. You could also maintain a list in another text file open in a text
editor or spreadsheet (at least sortable) and cut and paste from it as
required.
