Add a "GO TO" shortcut
I find it somewhat slow to navigate from one account to another.
It would be nice to have a shortcut that pops a little window listing accouts and a filterbox.
Typing down a few chars would narrow the selection and then you can use the arrows to select and then push enter...

Virtual retained earnings account
I am using GnuCash to handle accounting of my LLC. The LLC pays dividends to me as shareholder. I have read the mailinglist and it looks like one should either close the books (which is generally not recommended) or just create a Dividends account under Equity, which is negative and gets more negative as more dividends are paid.
The second option works actually very well from my point of view, with the only problem being that Equity becomes negative in the account overview (but is still correct in balance sheet and other reports).
My idea would be to have a…

Emphasise the concept of gc data-files != gc program-file
On the mailing lists, it seems that many users do not understand the concept of having data stored in files:
- "How can I backup my data?"
- "I Wanted to start over and reinstalled GC - but the data is still there."
- "I did $SomethingFromFileMenu an now all my data is gone."IMHO this would get better if users understood that their data is stored in files just like their office documents.
This could be achieved by changing the startup-behaviour:
When gc is started with no explicit file as an option, gc should present a dialog with the…3 votes -
Transaction Classifications
Corresponding Bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113772
While the account hierarchy allows each transaction to be assigned to a different sub-accounts, it would be useful to have classifications which apply to transactions accross sub-accounts. e.g. assume the following accounts exists
Expenses::Electricity
Expenses::Water
Expenses::RatesClassifications could be achieved by adding new level to each account
Expenses::Electricity::Property1
Expenses::Electricity::Property2
Expenses::Water::Property1
Expenses::Water::Property2
Expenses::Rates::Property1
Expenses::Rates::Property2This can produce complex accounts structures especially if multiple currencies are involved.

Add Undo Functionality
Corresponding Bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509267
Where's ctrl-z when you need it? There's several aspects to this. Naive undo would include being able to remove some typing or a paste operation you did to a field that you didn't intend. Sophisticated undo would let you reverse a transaction that you messed up without having to hunt for what account it's in now. Even more sophisticated might be multiple levels of both Undo and Redo, and a hint in the menu next to each about what would happen if you chose that option.
This is another simple time-saver that's probably been mentioned elsewhere…

Do not require an address for new Vendors
Please do not enforce filling out the Address field for new Vendors to complete the operation.
I should not have to put a random string in the first address line before you allow me to save the Vendor to the Vendor List. Vendor name should be sufficient, and in some cases, simply a vendor number is all you need (e.g. if you want to hide the name of a vendor and keep the identity discreet).

User-defined fields/attributes
Please enable users to define their own fields/attributes for transactions, transaction splits, accounts, customers, employees, invoices, jobs, orders, prices...
With a custom fields I could solve (or at least workaround) the following issues described in separate threads:
- transaction classification
- add the ability to attached scanned images to invoices
- point of sale
- link any transaction to "the other party"And more:
- I could fill-in bank account number of the other party at bank account transactions - and can later search according the bank account
- make notes to the transactions (it's a good idea to make…99 votes -

Scheduled Transaction Editor - Possibility to arrange scheduled transactions into folders and sub-folders
Those having many scheduled transactions know full well how hard it can be to browse the whole list in order to look for the specific one you need to edit. It would me much easier if scheduled transactions could be grouped in some way.

Add Hierarchy to "Business" Records (Vendor/Customer/Employee)
I specifically need this for Vendors, but I can see how this would apply to Customers and Employees as well.
I want to keep individual Vendors separate, but at the same time be able to aggregate them for reports. For example, I want to know how much money I spend at Starbucks Store #123 and keep that separate from Starbucks Store #124. I also want to know how much I spend at Starbucks in general, so I would want stores #123 and #124 to be under Starbucks (just like how the Account list works). Each individual business has unique addresses…

Add support for multiple-step Income Statements
I have fully described the need in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765375.
I could add that I have found a workaround for representing taxes in a way that allows me to choose whether my income statement shows net income and net taxes with payroll tax deduced from both, or gross income and gross taxes with no sign of payroll tax in the report. I do this by first accumulating payroll tax as negative income, then adding special year-end transactions, and finally choosing whether to do case sensitive filtering or not when I run the Income Statement report. This method, however, does not scale…

addition of addition columns in account form
I am happy gnucash user for last 6 years for small business. use it effectively for invoicing,tds etc. I also manage my Fixed Deposit accounts, bonds etc. It would be good to have extra columns to accomodate FD date,Maturity Date, interest rate, Interest periodicity. Now i put some of these in account code,desc,memo and run a custome report.. export to excel and use that for income tax income projection.

When you execute a search, the new tab should be immediately adjacent to the existing tab
This both groups the tabs logically, and also improves the workflow by causing closed search results to go back immediately to what you were doing.
It's a very common workflow after a search to want to return to the page you were on when you executed the search. This may be to refine your previous search that was unsatisfactory and execute it again with new criteria, or if you got what you needed from the search, to simply continue on with what you were doing.
Instead, Gnucash currently simply dumps the search tab on the far-right, causing a closed search…

Enable multi-user editing
Allow multiple users, in a business to access the database at the same time so that multiple transactions can be entered or updated simultaneously, and do so with remote access capabilites like Terminal Server (Windows) or X-Term sessions (Linux/Unix) .
This is a feature in many commercial programs and this is exactly why many business users of such programs are not using GnuCash.
If GnuCash wants to secure donations from the business community beyond the home or individual operating as a business, this feature will make GnuCash extremely attractive to a market that routinely pays $3,000 to $5,000 for products…308 votesConcurrent multi-user support has been part of our long-term goals for a while now:
