bitcoin
Corresponding Bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690479
I suggest you support bitcoin (and namecoin) as a proper currency. I don't care if it has an ISO code or not, nor whether you can get quotes automatically.

Tree View
I'm not sure if anyone else has issues with the tab interface. I do.
So my suggestion is having a "tree view" on the left that is clickable, and on the right displays the "content view".

Use tax lots to dump details for US Schedule D
It seems like this is already on the Gnucash developers' radar, but I thought I would add it here as well because it could be a very useful feature.
In the United States, we have to report capital gains on individual tax returns every year --- the gain is reported (and tax paid) when the asset is sold. The tax return includes the item, quantity, purchase price, and sales revenue. Since Gnucash is already tracking lots of identical items (e.g., stocks), it should be possible to gather enough information to automatically generate the information for this tax return -- which…

Bonds are quoted as %. Please add the possibility to divide the retrived quote by 100 on some bonds.
Many European Bonds have quotation base on 100 units (%). Yahooeurope for example offers price referred to single unit for stocks and price referred to 100 units for bonds. It would be nice if the price editor would have the possibility to divide the price retrived by Finance::Quote by 100 (or some other value). Finance Quote cannot do it because it operates on a source base (es Yahooeurope) and does not know if it is a bond or a stock.
Thank you for all your great work.6 votes -
Reporting: multiple periods
Could reporting be enhanced to show multiple periods on one report (e.g. income and expenses shown monthly on one page)?
79 votesGnucash currently provides Experimental Balance and Income Statement (= Profit & Loss) reports that support displaying multiple columns.
They are still experimental because of some glitches with price calculations case of multi-currency or stock market scenarios. If you don’t have those, the experimental reports probably will give you what you need.

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.)

Allow 0 decimal places in currency
Displaying amounts without the pennies/cents/kopeks sometimes makes sense.
Some currencies (e.g. Yen/Rupee/Zimbabwe $) have a pretty low value, so the 1/100ths of it aren't used in daily transactions.
Yet the preferences only allow 1-8 decimal places. Why 1-8?12 votes -
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.

Clearing
Clearing
Clearing is more than just checking an account balance. It is another way of grouping
existing split bookings of different transactions. This is very similar to clear
invoices against payments; which would be covered by this more general approach as well.In gnucash two or more splits are grouped to one transaction.
That transaction has a timestamp when it has happened.
Clearing means to group splits of different transactions into a "clearing group".
This "clearing group" has no timestamp.
It just helps to find splits which are not yet "cleared".To achieve this, each split needs one additional column:

Make it easier for users to work with alternative/non-ISO/private currencies.
Corresponding Bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657215
As I recall reading on the GnuCash mailing list(s), developers will not include support for currencies that do not meet ISO requirements. Therefore, to use the likes of Ithaca hours or bitcoins, users have to rather inappropriately treat them as stocks, virtually exchanging them for an official currency before conducting real transactions. Either that or users must rely on the XXX placeholder currency, which has its own limitations.
I propose that GnuCash include some functionality for users to define custom currencies that behave just like regular official ones. This functionality would allow for users to point…

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.

Allocation of Sales Tax
For a transaction there should be an easy automated way to allocate the remaining imbalance (usually sales tax) to the other expenses proportionally. This was a feature in MS Money that I really liked.
Here is an example:
Expense:Food 20
Expense:Tools 10
Expense:Toys 5
Liability:CC Card 42
(imbalance) 7It would be nice to be able to double-click on the (imbalance) and gnucash would distribute automatically the $7 to each item in the debt column by its proportion to the total of the credit column.
Currently I’ve been typing in the equation manually as shown below. This gets annoying after…

improve scheduled transactions to support simple daily interest formulas
US Federal student loans are based on simple daily interest, calculated between payments. To properly split principal / interest, I need a variable representing days since last payment.

Select several items at once in any list
Allow using the shift and control keys to select multiple transactions in an account register or multiple accounts in the Account list or multiple lines in a split transaction. Then allow actions such as copy or delete on these multiple items.

link any transaction to "the other party"
There are legal requirements to trace back who is the recepient or sender of any payment (not just invoices) with all the identification details (address, IDs...).
To rely on the "Description" filed is not sufficient (can't enter all the identification detail and isn't good for searchig).
I woud need to search for all transactions with a party disregarding it's an invoice, cash receipt or an other form of transaction (lets say off-setting payables).
So, I would suggest not to distinguish "vendors", "customers" and "employees" - and rather use table "parties" for all of them.
Then you could relate invoices (both,…

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 -
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.
