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…

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.

Graphs w/o legend and dates
Hi,
I toyed recently with the multicolumn Report and found that it can be nicely used to have many Graphs (e.g. single expense accounts over time) displayed as an overview. However, having the leveng and the timeline at the bottom of the graph strongly Limits how much you can fit where. When you go for quite small Graphs, the area is dominated by the legend and the timeline Dates.It would be nice if all reports which Display some graph have the Option of not showing the legend and the individual Dates.
Best,

per-book accounting periods
At the moment, all sets of books operated by the same user (under Linux, at least, no idea how it works with Windows) share the same accounting period. Changing the accounting period on one set of books changes it for all. This means that to have different sets of books with different accounting periods, one must set up different users, which is a very clunky workaround. By all means set a user-wide default, which any new book acquires, but it should then be settable on a per-book basis. This may be a more general idea that might also satisfy the…

Improved Job Expense & Invoice Tracking
Running a service oriented business, it is imperative for me to be able to quickly and accurately tie together all expenses and payments received related to a specific job to be sure that all expenses are invoiced to the job and to determine profitability. Secondly, to be able to quickly see the status of all jobs for a specific customer. This would require being able to associate all related expenses, vendor bills, and invoices to the job. Then, a modification to the "Job Report" to show all activity for the job.
To be able to quickly see the status of…20 votes -
Display split comment if transaction comment is empty
Allow me to leave the transaction description empty, in which case the split comment would be displayed instead.
Otherwise one gets really useless lists of transaction comments in some accounts, even though there are far more useful and specific split comments available for the particular entry.

Depreciation schedules
It would be good to have depreciation schedules implemented. Right now we use scheduled transactions to run periodic transactions from Assets to Expense:Depreciation. However there more types of depreciation schedules in the wild and so specialized dialog/schedule is needed. It would be good to have such schedule to appear as soon as invoice containing an asset is entered so type of depreciation and effective life of an asset may be entered.

Better budgeting (based on managerial accounting)
Budgeting in GnuCash is as big, yet as essential, a project as GnuCash in the first place. Please see my rant below.
We must not confuse planning for the future and recording transactions.
GnuCash’s greatest strength is that it is built on sound accounting principles. While financial accounting is all about recording transactions that occurred in the past. Managerial accounting is all about forecasting the future. What our best estimates of future Income; Expenses; Assets; Liabilities and Equity. These forecast are then used to answer questions. One of the most critical questions being “Will I have the cash to pay…

Implement support for stock options
While fewer of us have earned stock options through our employers lately, they're a piece of my net worth which I cannot represent in GnuCash. Though an option is an option, most folks consider exercising as possible anytime, with the value being the current shares * (current price - strike price), but 0 when < 0. I don't mind doing manual entry of grants, vests, or expires. Thank you!

OFX Import Improvements
Show a transaction report or something when importing an OFX file. OFX import for investment accounts has a few quirks or bugs. One very frustrating thing about it is that the user can't see how the transactions were imported (what accounts, too often the wrong one). If the transaction were shown in a new tab like what is done in with 'Scheduled Transactions' then the user could see what happened & fix it. There's a click box to 'Review created transactions' when getting 'since last run' scheduled transactions, this is what I had in mind. A report would probably work…

Add / change keyboard shortcut for productivity, into standard like MS Excel or alike
It would be nice to add or change current keyboard shortcut to any existing software, so user feel no difference when switching from one software to another.
For example, using Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn to switch between tabs. This has been used by MS Excel, or browser like Firefox or Chrome. In GNUCash, we use Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/PgDn, which differ in one key (Alt).
Another example in Excel, Ctrl+Home to go to top row / earliest transaction.
I guess this additional feature can give more values for user experience and productivity to GNUCash .

Better automatic online banking setup for OFX download
Most individuals don't have the time to manually enter their banking information. I had no success in connecting to a major bank (bank of america), despite reading all the help files I could find.

Display description of the split in Basic Ledger view
There is no easy way to edit transactions for the account if they are split. Let's say my transaction is:
Shop
- apple (account Food:Fruits)
- orange (account Food:Fruits)
- juice (account Food:Drinks)When I switch to account Food:Fruits and use Transactional Journal, I can see item from account Drinks. If I switch to Basic Ledger it looks better - there are only two lines related to fruits. Unfortunately, only transaction title is displayed for them, so both lines are titled Shop.
I understand that displaying transaction title and split description for Basic Ledger is quite a big change (in…
