Allow adjustment of tax amount on invoice to match vendor invoice
When entering invoices, the "Tax" at the bottom of the invoice may not match the vendor's sales tax amount. I have to create an additional entry to a suspense account to get it to calculate correctly. Some vendors appear to calculate the sales tax on an item by item basis while other subtotal the taxable items and then calculate the sales tax.
It would be nice to have an option that allows for an adjustment to the sales tax computation in the invoice to match the amount on the vendor's invoice without having to add another line to the invoice.

Provide a tool for disallowing unwanted quickfill transactions
Please write a tool that shows all the entries that are in the quickfill database, with an option (perhaps a checkbox) for each to bar it from use by quickfill if the user chooses. Restoring the option (unchecking the checkbox) would allow it to by used again by quickfill.

Add item count in the split
Another improvement which could simplify GnuCash usage is item count in the transaction. When I am buing N items of the same kind in a single transaction I can create N splits (which is not very convenient) or use one split and lost possibility of price tracking.
Things are even more complicated when I want to track price of petrol for example. The only way to do this is to create Petrol account ('currency' of this account is litre) and transfer from Cash through Petrol to Expenses.
Probably this 'special account' approach is the only one that fits double entry…

Display description of the split in Basic Ledger view
There is no easy way to edit transactions for the account if they are split. Let's say my transaction is:
Shop
- apple (account Food:Fruits)
- orange (account Food:Fruits)
- juice (account Food:Drinks)When I switch to account Food:Fruits and use Transactional Journal, I can see item from account Drinks. If I switch to Basic Ledger it looks better - there are only two lines related to fruits. Unfortunately, only transaction title is displayed for them, so both lines are titled Shop.
I understand that displaying transaction title and split description for Basic Ledger is quite a big change (in…

Allow a zero share investment transaction
Some investments pay out part of your capital with your dividends. This reduces the book value (not necessarily the market value) without changing the number of shares. A way is needed to enter this change in gnucash

Add "tomorrow" to the list of symbolic dates for defining reports
The symbolic dates (eg - today, start of financial period, start of previous month, etc) are useful in creating "everlasting" report definitions. However, to create a report of forward transactions one needs to enter the date, as "today" will include transactions also appearing in "to date" reports.
Alternatively, an ability to add an increment (or decrement), in days, from an existing symbolic date (eg: today+1) might be even more useful and flexible.

Remember when I've hidden the scheduled transaction calendar
Every time I go into the Scheduled Transaction Editor, I hide the calendar. It takes up more than half the form, and for me it's useless. It would be wonderful if it could just remember that it had been hidden, and stay hidden, instead of coming back every time.

provide per-transaction cancel of autofill, with ESC, initial backspace, or anything else that works
It should be possible to cancel autofill for a particular transaction on the fly. Autofill works very well for some kinds of transactions and very badly for others, like department store purchases that have a different category for each purchase.

Better Budgeting
Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700802
Budgeting system similar to YNAB, "You Need A Budget". It needs to carry forward over/under spent on budget category from month to month. I cannot use GNUCASH's budget system.

Copy budget value into all budget periods
When creating a yearly budget with 12 periods it is frequently the case that a specific account will always have a standard amount budgeted.
I.e. I always want to budget £20 per month for Auto:Parking.
It would simplify buget creation if there was an option to "populate forward" into all future buget periods either the value from the currently selected period or the value entered into a dialogue box.46 votes -

Allow users to switch from accrual to cash accounting
Most small businesses use cash accounting rather than accrual counting, yet there is no apparent way to switch from one method to another. This causes significant problems and extra work come tax time.

Better automatic online banking setup for OFX download
Most individuals don't have the time to manually enter their banking information. I had no success in connecting to a major bank (bank of america), despite reading all the help files I could find.

Allow the database to be secured by way of a password
Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700803
The aim is not absolute security but would prevent casual access to the information held. (Windows ACLs go some way towards this but any administrator could view the information.)
If this would be better done by securing the files outside the application, could someone tell me how?179 votes -

Private split
would be great if one could set a % to split a transaction in private and business expense e.g. business car used privately (gasoline). Example can be found here: http://www.easyct.de/readarticle.php?article_id=10

implement standing orders via HBCI
Standing Orders (German: Daueraufträge) are not supported by GnuCash at the moment. But the underling libary AqBanking has support for it. It would be nice to have this feature in GnuCash.
