[GNC] Double entry directly to Equity

[David Long]

Hi, I just tested David's method of creating a new equity account and
crediting the revaluation to that account and debiting the asset account. I
did not attach  the new Revaluation Reserve  account to an existing equity
account (parent)  but I specified it as a new top level account. Either way
works fine, and the revaluation reserve appears where it should on the
balance sheet report.


Cheers
David

Ah, yes, good point - a backup is similar to what I'm looking for.

Well, actually my question is not an accounting question but rather a
technical one on how to set up and use equity accounts in Gnucash, if at
all possible (I'm a qualified accountant by the way). I took a revaluation
reserve just as an example.

In many accounting frameworks you can find items that affect equity
directly rather than through Profit and Loss / Retained Earnings.

For example, if you account for Property at fair value through P&L (so
called "investment property") you would reflect an unrealized gain in
market value as :

Dr Asset Cr Income (you equity increases because your net income / retained
earnings increase)

However, if you use a revaluation model for the Property and mark it to
market you would do:

Dr Asset Cr Reserve account

A Reserve account is an equity account (as much as Retained Earnings is an
equity account). This gain doesn't go through P&L  and doesn't affect your
income and expenses but it does increase your equity / capital directly
through the reserve account (where it's reflected on the asset side - the
property account or counter-account is beyond the point).

So I guess I am just wondering how to create an equity account in Gnucash.
I used to set up these accounts as sub-accounts in the Trading account but
now when I'm trying to make an entry directly to such a sub-account in
Trading (e.g. Dr Asset Cr Trading) the Trading account changes to Imbalance
automatically. Is there a workaround or is there a way to fix it?

Thanks!

That's easy. In the Accounts Tab, right click on the top level Equity
account to
select it and then right click anywhere in the pane and select New Account
from
the popup menu  or use Actions->New Account from the mainmenu. This should
start
the dialogue with Equity as the parent account, enter the name "Revaluation
Reserve", select the account currency and add any other detail (opening
balance
if non zero etc.) . At the bottom the Parent account should show as Equity.
(You
can select any other Equity account as parent depending upon your heirarchy
in
Equity). Click OK and you have an equity account which you can the use as
the
other split in transactions recording the changes in asset value.

Hi,

My GnuCash file (SQLite format) has become rather large - 110 MBytes. Every
month or two I import a lot more transactions in CSV format. I use piecash
in a Python script I wrote, because the importing of CSV data built into
GnuCash crashes when I import too many transactions.

I might be importing perhaps 4000 or 5000 transactions. Saving them into my
GnuCash file takes many many minutes. I know my file is getting too large,
but it surely shouldn't take 10+ minutes to do this operation? Whilst I do
it, I can see Python is taking 100% of a CPU core.

Come the end of the financial year (30 June) I'm going to start a new file.
But this will quickly grow in size, and no doubt I'll run into this problem
again. Is there anything I can do to speed this up, or do I just have to
live with it?

Cheers,

Tim.

I don?t believe the file is getting too large. If you haven?t looked into
using an SSD drive at least for the database I highly recommend it. Not only
will you amazed at how fast data will be written to the file but also how
fast you will be able to generate reports.

It is an SSD drive (I'm using a Mac Mini about one year old - with the M1
chip).

The slow part seems to be saving the database - inserting the transactions
is fast enough, the save operation is what takes so long. It may be 20
minutes - I haven't timed it. Even closing GnuCash is slow - perhaps 30
seconds to a minute.

Have just updated from previous version to GnuCash 4.10 on Windows 11.

 

GnuCash now refuses to open (have tried from PowerShell too). I have tried
reinstalling but no change.

 

Any idea how I can rectify this issue?

Many thanks

 

Richard

Richard,
When you tried to update, did it tell you, you had to remove the old
installation of GnuCash?  I know it does that before installing the new
version.  Maybe there was an issue with the uninstall.  I woould make sure
you have a backup, then try uninstalling the old version manually.  After
that try installing again.  This time there should be no uninstall attempted
by GnuCash and maybe it will install correctly.  There is no logical reason
why it shouldn't work on Windows 11, as I said I have been using it since
4.10 came out.


Thank You,
Gyle McCollam

Thanks Gyle!



The exe file won?t open.



Will maybe have to start from scratch or wait for the next update.

Richard,

Sorry to hear you are having problems.  I have been using 4.10 on Windows 11
with no issues.  Is it not able to find your GnuCash file or is it not
working at all.  If it is the former, use file open and explore to find your
GnuCash file.  If it is the latter, I can't help you.



Thank You,
Gyle McCollam

Hi Richard,

Do you get an error message?
Did you install using the installer?
