Feature Request

Welcome to the GnuCash “New Feature Request” forum.

Please review/search the existing requests before posting a new request.

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

    This request has become a mixture of two different albeit related requests.
    The first one is to have independent accounting periods for separate books.
    The second is being able to manage multiple companies within one book.
    From an implementation point of view these two are totally unrelated and it’s unclear how the votes cast for this mixed request should be separated.
    Luckily both requests also exist as indepentent feature suggestions:
    - http://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/1607557-per-book-accounting-periods
    - http://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/7159885-allow-for-multiple-companies-subsidiaries-and-f

    For manageability I’ll close this request. Please recast your votes on either or both of the other requests. Thank you.

  2. Autocomplete year for nearest date, instead of current year

    Suppose it's 5th Jan 2011 and I'm entering transactions for December. If I type "20.12" (european) it is almost certain I mean 20.12.2010 (two weeks ago), not 20.12.2011 (one year in the future).

    GnuCash should definitely guess the nearest date's year if it's less than 3 months ago, and probably also even if it's as much as 6 months ago.

    This is completely outside the scope of our current project. The current project aims at a desktop application, potentially with multi-user capabilities, but in that case the database is the server, not gnucash. Sorry for that.

  5. Touch Interface GUI design

    This may not be applicable yet, but it might be helpful to consider what interface elements might need to be adjusted for touch interfaces (iPad, Android, and similar). On those the resolution might be greater or smaller than an ordinary screen and/or multiple/changeable orientation. The register and other elements would need to handle options and data entry for non-precise ("fat-fingered") selections.

    I’m sorry, but no, development on any of the tablet operating systems is a completely different topic. I.e. to have an app there, you would have to create a completely new application from scratch (in other programming languages etc.). This is a different project than the current desktop gnucash application.

  6. Analytical accounts

    I would love to get analytical accounting within gnucash : it would be that way possible to account for transactions in their right account, but group them in custom reports, by analytical group.

    Example :
    - Restaurants bills go in restaurant account.
    - Restaurants bills related to a big trip abroad (let's say "Australia") would be in this same account, but with an analytical classification as "Australia".
    - a report on "Australia" would give that expense.

  7. Would like to have a note field for a transaction.

    Currently there is a description which I use to enter who the transaction is for or where its from. I start typing the description and it autopopulates with the last time that description was entered. It would be nice to have a note field, that does not autopopulate, so you could say Description is Amazon.com and note is "birthday present for so and so". This may be able to be combined with the other suggestion for attaching scanned receipts.
