Hi - I'm using GnuCash for personal finances.
There are 2 distinct types of commodity assets I want to account for:
#1. Conventional financial market securities like stocks and mutual
funds.
These work well using the well-established Buy + Sell transactions,
lots, and setting Price Source as "Last up thru Report date" when
creating Balance Sheet reports.
#2. Home heating fuel, specifically propane gas (LPG): We buy propane
in deliveries of hundreds of gallons. A delivery is enough to heat the
house for several months.
I want to be able to report the value of the propane in our tank as an
asset, valued at the price we paid for it based on FIFO. A balance
sheet does this when buy's, sell's, and lots are set up correctly, and
I set (Options > Commodities > Price Source) to "Average cost of
purchased weighted by volume."
Is there any way to differentiate Price Source by asset? That is, set
or select Price Source to:
"Average Cost" for Propane, and
"Last up thru Report date" for financial assets?
Thanks in advance.
Chris
