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.

Total return(%) of Advanced Portfolio as XIRR
it would be helpful if TotalReturn(%) in Advanced Portfolio view is implemented using XIRR, so that we can get an annualized return on individual investment and easily compare returns of investments held for any duration.

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.

When starting GnuCash, allow selection of any recently opened accounts
Gnucash opens with the last opened set of accounts. If then a new instance of Gnucash is started, you get a dialog complaining about lock, and gives option to Open anyway, Create new file, or Quit. It should also give option to open another set of accounts.

Design aging reports to include all payable accounts or all receivable accounts
Currently, aging reports default to only accounts payable or accounts receivable. This report should include all children accounts under AP for payable aging and all children accounts under AR for receivables aging.

Tracking Liability Repayments as Expenses without Double Counting them
It would be great to have an expense report that could actually count transactions moved directly from assets to offset liabilities. I find it that i need to create an expense account, then zero it out in order not to double count it. I want to see all expenses, plus debt repayment expenses that go directly from assets into liabilities in one report.

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.

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…

Remember print settings
Each time I print an invoice, I need to reselect settings (date format, fields I want to show an hide, invoice style). I'd like to have those settings persistent.

Add "Granularity" Option to "Future Scheduled Transaction Summary" Report.
For my original request details pls refer to "Bug 638644 - (Steffie) Scheduled Transactions need incorporation into Budget".
I raised my original request when i used v2.4.0, but months ago i upgraded to
v2.4.2 when i read that one of its enhancements was "Add a new report: Future Scheduled Transaction Summary". I thought this might address my previous
request, above. However it merely presents a summary for the specific items at the end of the nominated period [eg, end of month / year etc], and completely
omits all the interim ups and downs that are so critical to active budgeting.…1 vote -
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!

Create a unified tool for working with investments
Right now, buying or selling stocks or shares of a mutual fund is a terribly complex thing to do, requiring a split transaction. Furthermore, doing this with a 401k is even more difficult, if, say, I wanted to reallocate my investments.
I wish there were a tool to enter the necessary information (what I'm selling and for how much, and how I want to use the funds) and it would then create the transaction for me.
Even more than this, it is difficult to deal with a 401k that is only partially vested. I wish this were more easy to…

Save all screen positions
When I click on the "reconcile" link, a window opens up centered between my two system screens. I drag it to the "active" window and close it. Next time I open the "reconcile" window the position is not remembered.

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
