Split transaction when importing
GnuCash can already remember which account to use to balance the transaction when importing. I think it is remembered based on the description column. I would like GnuCash to remember if it was a split transaction and if possible the percentage to use. Quicken already does it.

Total return(%) of Advanced Portfolio as XIRR
it would be helpful if TotalReturn(%) in Advanced Portfolio view is implemented using XIRR, so that we can get an annualized return on individual investment and easily compare returns of investments held for any duration.

Configuration Option for Backup Location
It would be nice to have the option to place Gnucash-generated backup files in
a designated folder. This configuration setting might best appear on the same
Preferences tab as the Delete Backup Files preference. The preference pane
could display:
- the active backup folder (defaulting to the data file location),
- a folder selection widget, and
- a Select button to implement the change155 votes -
Improve transaction matching
When importing QFX: does not seem to account for the check number. Matcher does not show check number detail, so if I have multiple checks with the same amount, it's really hard to match things up. Also, if I choose "U+R", it overwrites my check descriptions with generic description from the QFX. Would be nice to just update the date and perhaps amount, if needed, but leave the original description. Also does not seem to want to match to anything older than about 2 months (Someone held the check for awhile.)

Autofill Feature should show a Drop Down List
When i am typing the description currently what happens is that the first matching record is auto-filled. But It would be more helpful if there was a drop down list (with vertical Scroll) with a list of similar records based on words present in them as typed.
For Example: I have the following descriptions previously entered
Amul Milk - Toned
Amul Milk - Double Toned
Amul Milk - Skimmed
Mother Dairy Milk - Full Cream
Sapan Milk - SkimmedWhat happens now is that when i type "Amul" the transaction gets filled with the first match even if have to…

Streamline Scheduled Transactions Handling
Current 'Since Last...' is awkward at best. There is no visible mechanism to enter a transaction early, and postponing transactions does not always work right and the setup requires going through three pages, none of which show all the important variables.

provide per-transaction cancel of autofill, with ESC, initial backspace, or anything else that works
It should be possible to cancel autofill for a particular transaction on the fly. Autofill works very well for some kinds of transactions and very badly for others, like department store purchases that have a different category for each purchase.

BUDGET: A total RE-ENGINEERING
First of all, Budgeting tool is like a joke in GNU Cash (till version 2.6.8) because:
- It does not support multiple currencies when it has to add up from sub accounts to main accounts. It affects ALL, and I mean ALL, the budget reports, because it never fits the budget with the real transactions.
For example: I have a "Son Expenses" sub account (in Euros) into my "Family Expenses" (in Dollars). When I register EUR 100 in "Son Expenses" it add USD 100 in "Family Expenses" instead of, let's say USD 112.13 (http://themoneyconverter.com/ES/EUR/USD.aspx on 10-05-2015). So it will not…

Allow users to switch from accrual to cash accounting
Most small businesses use cash accounting rather than accrual counting, yet there is no apparent way to switch from one method to another. This causes significant problems and extra work come tax time.

add sector allocation report
Some kind of reporting structure that can produce a pie chart or bar graph showing some kind of sector allocation report. This can be useful not only for stocks but also for other assets or maybe income/expenses.
For example, if I spend money at McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Dominoes, I can see a report that shows how much money I spent at each individual place, but if I can categorize Pizza Hut and Dominoes as Pizza places then my report can show me how much I spent at non Pizza places vs Pizza places!

Zero Based Budget Support
I really like this software after playing with it for a while, but as far as the budget, I'd like to have a zero based budget. Add up Income minus savings and Expences should equal zero. It would be nice to see the +/- dollar amount at the bottom of the budget tab, maybe add a end row that calc budget cells.

Improved Mortgage Handling
Scheduled transactions cannot cope with overpaying on the principal, where the current balance (instead of estimated) is required for computation.

bank account for invoice printing
I use gnucash 2.2.9 for multiple companies.
There is no way to include bank account details for customers to make a direct deposit. I can't modify templates or invoice scheme files to include a hard coded bank account as I process many companies with different bank accounts.
I have hacked the report to get the payment bank account from the web site url field in File Properties.
Can we get a formal primary bank account field for payments and maybe some user data fields for each set of books.

Copy budget value into all budget periods
When creating a yearly budget with 12 periods it is frequently the case that a specific account will always have a standard amount budgeted.
I.e. I always want to budget £20 per month for Auto:Parking.
It would simplify buget creation if there was an option to "populate forward" into all future buget periods either the value from the currently selected period or the value entered into a dialogue box.46 votes -
Allow linking bank transactions to invoices from multiple customers
When a client pays by credit card or via their phone through a payment service, (eg. Snapscan.co.za in South Africa) our bank account registers a single transaction per day for all clients who paid with that service. Currently there appears to be no way to link the bank transaction to multiple invoices from different customers.
There is also a bug/oversight in the current functionality - it only allows you to link to multiple invoices if you select them all at the same time. If you link to one invoice, then realise you have another for that client and link that…

Increase the spacing between the record and cancel icons
These buttons should have another button between them to avoid activating the wrong one.

Enlarge Arrows to Change Month
In the date dialog box, the arrows on each side of the month should be enlarged. Many times when I click on an arrow, the dialog box disappears and the focus returns to the current month shown in the box.

Import-Export Client & Supplier Details
There desperately needs to be an option to export customers information. I
understand that there once was this option but it doesn't exist anymore?I keep all of my customer data in gnu-cash, I would like to be able to export
everything in the "edit customer" window under the "customer" & "shipping
address" tabs - all to csv for use in spreadsheets (vCard format would be nice
too but not as useful).company name, customer name, address, phone, fax, email, shipping address,
shipping phone, shipping fax, shipping email38 votesThe idea is well explained. The developers need to decide who’s going to work on this and when, but this idea will be considered in the near future.
