1. 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.

2. Reporting: multiple periods

   Could reporting be enhanced to show multiple periods on one report (e.g. income and expenses shown monthly on one page)?

   started  ·  AdminGeert Janssens (Core Dev, GnuCash) responded

   Gnucash 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.

3. Move Estimate settings (date and significant digits) to Budget Options and remember

   Button Estimate open Window "Estimate Budget Values" and these settings (date and significant digits) move to Budget Options and remember values from first set up.

4. 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.)

5. 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?

6. 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.

7. 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:

   ALTER TABLE split ADD ( clearing_group CHAR ( 32 )); // can be null

   Clearing goes as:

   1. Find the first split booking which should be part of the clearing group

   2. use right mouse key (or button or menu) to remember this split-guid
      If "split.clearinggroup" is null then create a new GUID and update this field
      UPDATE split SET clearinggroup = $new_guid
      If its not null, then just remember (copy) that value

   3. Find the next split booking which should be part of the clearing group

   4. use right mouse key (or button or menu) to add this split booking to the group
      UPDATE split SET clearinggroup = $rememberedguid

   5. Continue with steps 3 and 4 until the clearing group is complete

   Now we need a register like the journal with all clearing groups (shortcut directly
   from a split booking out of any other register). Could be sorted by the transaction
   dates coming from the grouped split bookings.

   A split booking is cleared (could be shown by a new column having a green checkmark)
   when the amounts for debit and credit match within the group.

   To show that a split booking belongs to a clearing group but is not yet cleared can
   be displayed by a yellow exclamation mark (instead of the green checkmark).

   To show that a split booking does not even belong to a clearing group can
   be displayed by just a space.

   Additional functionality could be to configure that all splits with an account of
   type (Forderungen und Verbindlichkeiten) receivables or payables HAVE TO be cleared.

9. 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 GnuCash to where it can find exchange rates with other currencies or to manually specify them. It would also allow for users to peg the value of their custom currencies to officially recognized ones.

   I hope the developers will consider my suggestion.

10. 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.

11. 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) 7

    It 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 a while.

    Expense:Food 20+20/427
    Expense:Tools 10+10/427
    Expense:Toys 5+5/42*7
    Liability:CC Card 42

15. 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, sales and purchase) to the Parties. And you could relate the transactions in a similar manner to the Parties.

    Searching would be much, much, much more easy!

    - 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 more extensive notes to complex transactions so as you could remember later what was going on)

19. 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.
