1. Save different sets of columns with different Accounts tabs

   Although one can set up multiple Accounts tabs with different filters applied (for example, have a cash flow tab for Income/Expense accounts, separate from an balance sheet tab for Asset/Liability accounts), it's less useful than one would like, because the set of columns used with each is ideally different (for example, Total (Period) for cash flow, versus Present for balance sheet).

   Although one can configure different columns on different tabs, it doesn't stick. After exiting and reopening the program, whatever columns open apply to all tabs.

3. Provide a quick way to see the full path to the current file

   I often work on different copies of files with the same name, e.g.
   2011/allaccounts
   2012/allaccounts

   In the recent files menu, these show as:
   allaccounts
   allaccounts

   And there's nowhere in the interface that I've found that shows the full path, so I don't know which is which. I pretty much avoid using the recent files menu to avoid making mistakes -- but gnucash also reopens the last-viewed file, which also could be any of them.

   I could keep my filenames more distinct (but then what's the point of having folders?), but that doesn't help in cases where I'm looking at backup copies or something.

4. Scheduled Transaction: Extend formulas

   Hi,
   scheduled transactions allows for some formulas, e.g. generated by the load druid.

   This functionality should be extended (or debugged) massively:
   1. Functions such as pmt(...) must be allowed to be part of a formula, e.g. 10+pmt(...) (when I tried this, the generated trxs always had a constant value, it did not change over time, may be a bug, may be it was never intended to be used this way...)
   2. Account values should be allowed as inputs to the function, e.g. the balance of the checkings account. Of course this balance must be specified (first logical second of a given date, last logical second of a given date, other ideas?)
   3. All the basic mathematical operators must be supported, including power and log.
   4. Ideally, there would also be a way to enter a time series and use it as a an input for the sx. (first iteration: first value....).

6. Can GNU Cash keep the creation (of an account, of a line, etc.) on the screen without exiting the entry mask at each validation ?

   After a validation, you should maintain the mask, clear the fields for a new entry + create an exit button.

7. Prevent accidental changes by locking a fiscal period

   One problem with Gnucash is that a user may accidentally change a transaction in a previous month or year. For example, it is possible to delete a transaction that should not be deleted. Also, if a user enters the wrong date in a new transaction (e.g. when typing the date, the year is wrongly entered) the transaction will enter the register in a previous period, but the user may not know where it went. Thus the accounts could be in error due to an accidentally deleted transaction or incorrectly entered transaction.

   In my experience training people to use Gnucash in the non-profit sector this has frequently happened.

   SUGGESTED SOLUTION:
   Add a feature where the entries in a month may be locked and password protected. Thus, after the data-entry clerk enters all the transactions for a month into Gnucash, the finance manager locks all the transactions with a password unknown to the data-entry clerk.

   The lock would not prevent reports from being generated or data from being viewed, it would only prevent data from being changed in the locked period.

   If subsequently, transactions in a previous month need to changed, the finance manager's password will be needed to unlock that month.

   Such a lock could prevent both accidental changes to the accounts in a previous period and intentional attempts to manipulate the accounts to the data entry clerk's personal advantage.

8. New transaction-input above future transactions

   Would it be possible to move the 'new transaction'-input line above any future transactions, just below the blue line?

   I pre-create a lot of recurring transactions to keep track of my budget on long term, but this causes 3/4rd of my screen to be filled with future transactions. I would love to see the input box moved a bit up.

9. cashflow forecast with graph

   Gnucash needs a robust cashflow forecast with graph, where one can select which accounts and show future cashflow for 30, 90, 180 and 360 days based on scheduled transactions (both credits and debits) that have not yet been entered. e.g. my pay comes every 2 weeks, I get some extra income in June and August that I can estimate, and I have some bills that are every month, others twice a year... I need to know when things will "pile up" requiring a transfer from higher yielding savings accounts into checking. Microsoft Money had a great forecast with a graph so one could identify to the day when balances would run low and plan ahead for transferring money from other accounts. The wiki wishlist for GnuCash has a very detailed explanation of how cash flow forecasting could work, also suggesting the ability to create estimated cashflow from past transactions (which Money could do), but for my part a starting place would be known scheduled transactions that haven't yet been entered. Being able to modify single occurrences of scheduled transactions would also be great without having to edit the entire series (e.g. most months my utility bills are X but I know the electricity bill is higher in the 3 months of summer so).

10. Implement quotations which can be converted to invoices

    A quotation to a customer is only a step away from an invoice, except that it is printed but not posted.

    Fortunately my ignorance of programming and databases allows me to suggest that this is simple as there the invoicing code can be recycled.

    When the customer okays the quotation (perhaps with alterations), the quotation can be called up and converted to an invoice and posted.

12. Add projection capabilites to accounts

    Target is to project the balance sheet and the income statement into the future based on projected accounts.

    Each account should allow to enable a "projected value".
    Default value is 0.
    Options are (at least):
    Constant value.
    Based on average of last N (default: 1) months / accounting periods average increased by a factor of x (default: 1) each period.

    Correpsonding reports need to be established, e.g.:
    -Projected Account Values: Shows value of selected accounts as projected for each projected period (each account one row, value in columns)
    -Projected Income Statement / Balace Sheet: As above, could be created from the above, but included as a convenience

17. implement EU based VAT reports, including EU reverse charge and means for it.

    EU is getting bigger and bigger. VAT reports are obligation of any VAT registered business. Small differences are from country to country, but VAT reports are really required. One has to implement the means or methods of preparation for such VAT reports and the VAT report itself, including the EU reverse charge report.

    Implementing the recognition of countries is important. If the company is within EU, there shall be an automatic distinction between the EU companies outside of the local country and local country companies and non-EU companies, as that is required in VAT reports.

    INTRASTAT as well.

18. CSV and Other Import

    Currently the CSV (and other like QIF) import dialog is very strict and gives NO facility for MAPPING of accounts to CSV columns etc.
    No info on whether to put last column in csv as expenses:OfficeExpenses or only OfficeExpenses? and then whether gnucash is configured to show
    only last of account names or fully qualified names. I tried BOTH combinations, still gnucash Fails EVERYTIME to map accounts.
    behaviour I saw was - it maps ALL the entries to one account ( like all csv rows to Office_Expenses !!!)

    Then - in last import dialog, we get mapped (or imbalance) accounts which are always distorted
    and then I have to keep double clicking EACH row !!! to map it to particular a/c.
    I can't even tell gnucash to repeat same for other rows !!!

    So first item would be to have

    A. Proper and EASY dialogs in Import Wizards

    B. It should also allow - while mapping - as debit or credit columns corresponding to accounts

    C. Import should be able to read FIRST line of csv file as Column-Headers and use it in mapping

    started  ·  AdminGeert Janssens (Core Dev, GnuCash) responded

    Thank you all for the feedback.

    The csv importer is currently being improved on the development branch. Several of the missing parts mentioned here are already being addressed, such as:

    - ability to select transfer account
    - ability to import files exported from gnucash
    - remember account mappings for a future import

19. Improve UI reliability on Mac OS X version

    I am using GnuCash 2.4.10 on Mac OS X. There are many minor UI bugs. See the list below. Yes, I will file bug reports for a few, but there are many problems.

    I suggest that developers and testers allocate some time for testing the basic UI operation on the Mac OS X version, and fix 20-50 minor problems. And/or, consider if there is a weakness in the development process which lets such bugs get into the build.

    OK, you will probably suggest that I do the testing, file the bug reports, then download the source, fix the bugs, and submit patches. That's a fair request. It's the price we should be willing to pay for free software. :-)

    Sample Mac OS X 2.4.10 UI issues:
    * In list of accounts, clicking on disclose triangle has no effect. Subacounts won't open, or won't close.
    * Close button in toolbar is sometimes inactive; must use Cmd-W to close tabs.
    * In Transaction Report, the toolbar "Options" button is sometimes inactive; clicking it does not cause the Options dialog to appear.
    * In some cases where the toolbar buttons are inactive, moving the pointer to hover over an active hyperlink, changing the pointer to a hand shape, caues the toolbar buttons to become active.
    * In some cases where the toolbar buttons are inactive, switching to a different Mac application (e.g. with Cmd-Tab) and then back to GnuCash restores the toolbar buttons to active state for a while.
    * Windows menu contains 10 null entries between "GnuCash tip of the day" and "Current ledger - accounts - GnuCash".
    * When printing to Adobe Acrobat Pro's "Adobe PDF8" printer, printer driver doesn't display its usual dialog box to let me select where it should write the resulting PDF file.
