  1. Budget reports: collapse and expand account tree

    In budget reports, the display depth of accounts can be set in de the report options. It would however be useful if (sub)accounts could be collapsed or extended by clicking on the account on the higher level. Then there is no need to open the options first and regenerate the report.

    Same goes for charts like the expense charts: when the report is generated with for example the second sub-account level, the user should be able to click on a part of the chart to open the (3rd level) subaccounts of that account.

  2. Highlight the "Imbalance USD" line to make it easier to spot, at least for me.

    Since Gnucash is based on double entry bookkeeping, it I miss and entry or have a keyboard error which sometimes I'm prone to do, the amount of the error pops up on Imbalance USD. If this line is highlighted, then it will be easier to spot, at least for me. This isn't critical, but it would make my life easier. ;-)

  3. CSV debit/credit field

    Mint exports CSVs with an always positive "Amount" field and a separate "Transaction type" field with values in ["debit" "credit"]. There is no way of importing correctly with the currently available fields

  4. Advanced actioning of Scheduled Transactions

    I get paid on the last day of the month (31st) and have a scheduled transaction to auto-create for that, as well as all of the transactions for the following month (1st-30th). This way, I allay have a view of how much " "disposable income" I have until I get paid again. In December, I always get paid on 19th-21st, but I now have to wait about 10 days until my scheduled transactions auto-create, so have no view of my disposable income, at a time when my spending can be quite fluid. I'd like to be able to go into…

  5. In register displays differentiate where past/current transactions and future transactions meet

    Currently all transactions in a register alternate between the same colors making is difficult to find where the break between past/current date and future date transactions meet. It would be helpful if a visual clue like a line with an contrasting color could be placed between the 2 record sets.

  6. Create check writing feature similar to QucikBooks

    GnuCash supports generating checks via the Accounts Payable process. I'd like to see a more simple method to write checks similar to how QuickBooks works. Instead of entering a bill/invoice into accounts payable, simply write a check to the vendor. Multiple checks could be written and then printed as a batch. Many, if not most, cash businesses don't use an accounts payable process. Rather they simply hold the bills/invoices and then generate checks as needed.

    I would be willing to contribute funds to implement this feature.

  10. Allow multiple currencies/securities in QIF imports

    It would be great if QIF imports could handle multiple currencies/securities in different split transactions.

    My actual use case is to create a stock transaction that contains some split transactions due to tax withholding, regulatory fee, commissions.

    Currently QIF investment transactions do not support split categories, so I could not use QIF investment transactions to represent the desired transaction.

    Currently the normal QIF bank/split transactions do not support different currencies/securities in different splits so I could not use that either.

    OFX format does not support split transactions either.

    It seems only the CSV import supports my use case now. However,…

  11. When a number is entered in both columns (credit/debit) keep most recently entered number rather than deleting both

    I was setting up my personal finance and got mixed up with column names and put all my credit card transactions in "Payments" instead of "Charges". After 20-25 transactions I realized my mistake and quickly went down the list typing in the number into the "Charges" column from the payments. I assumed it would delete the number in the "Payments" column. Instead it deleted BOTH numbers and saved the resulting transactions, thus making it so I had to go back to my source document (which, since I summarize and sub-total some transactions, was a pain in the neck).

    If I…

  13. Hotkey Toggle for Reconcile Field Value

    When entering values on a ledger transaction entry, there's no way to toggle the value of the R (reconcile) field without using the mouse. I'm recommending that <ctrl+r> be a hotkey combo that toggles this value for open transactions during the data entry process.

  14. CNY currency change to CNH

    Currently GnuCash uses CNY as Chinese Yuan currency name, is it possible to change it to CNH, insce CNY is Chinese Yuan used in Mainland China, which is not available to exchange for other currencies, and CNH is the offshore version of the same currency (therefore can be exchanged for other currencies). Detail please see here https://www.dailyfx.com/forex/fundamental/article/special_report/2018/09/12/cnh-vs-cny-differences-between-the-two-yuan-.html

  16. A/Payable Shows red amounts on some transactions

    Recently payable account shows a red minus value after a payment? Searched for ever to find why all other transactions are normal.
    By total accident discovered that if auto number invoice is used, then its normal.
    Adding an invoice number makes a red entry.
    The solution, make sure the payables account has the same invoice number for recording and paying, by default it does not add the invoice number on one entry, add it manually and balances show normal then.
    Perhaps add a tip somewhere on this in help file or cause gnucash to copy custom invoice numbers on debits…

  18. Split toggle button (expand/collapse all transactions)

    I use the "Transaction Journal" style (Prefs > Register Defaults > Default Style) to constantly compare splits between months.

    Although this mode is the most useful to me, as the transactions start increasing, it becomes tedious to find a specific transaction and overwhelming to look at all the available information when you're scrolling through.

    It would be extremely useful to have a toolbar button that toggles between the existing "Basic Ledger" and "Transaction Journal" modes, which would act as a "Collapse All" / "Expand All" option for all available transactions.

  19. Reconcile window: Add number of transactions for "Funds Out" (debit) and "Funds In" (credits).

    This minor modification will help in tracking down discrepancies by comparing these numbers to the ones on the bank or credit card statements.
