  1. Add View Option: "Double Line (Selected Only)"

    As an intermediate option between single-line view (benefit: see more transactions on a page) and double-line view (benefit: see more detailed information per transaction), offer Double Line (Selected Only), which displays only the selected transaction in double-line view. All other transactions remain in single-line view.

  2. Sort transactions by just the date, not number.

    The current default sorting order sorts the transactions by date. But when a transaction has a check number, it sends that transaction to the end of that day. This messes up the entire order and the only solution is to add numbers to the rest of the transactions made on the same date.

    I suggest a sorting order which sorts the transactions as and when they're added. Even if a transaction has a check number, it should stay in the same order as it was added.

  3. import payments using CSV

    GnuCash allows import of Invoices but not payments. We are trying to migrate from another system and have a CSV file with accounts receivable data: 2000+ invoices and payments. We can import the invoices, but attempts to input payments results in a negative invoice. What is desired is to apply the payments to the invoices.

  5. add more options to semi-monthly scheduled transactions

    I have a payment that comes in on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday every month. The semi-monthly option in SX doesn't have the option to select these days, so I have to schedule two separate monthly transactions. Can you add the same options from monthly to semi-monthly? I'm using version 4.8 via flatpak.

  8. Chargeback vendor bills to multiple customers/jobs

    Chargeback vendor bills to multiple customers/jobs

    As of 4.6, the ability to chargeback expenses incurred through a Vendor on a Bill, to a Customer on an Invoice, is limited to including line items on an invoice or not for a given Bill/Customer pairing. The UI label, "Default Chargeback Project" on a Bill implies that individual line items on the Bill could be assigned to non-default projects for the purposes of chargeback. Furthermore, the "Billable?" column accepts an "X" even when "Default Chargeback Project" is not set, consistent with the implication.

    This request is to follow through with the implied functionality,…

  9. Please add 3 text fields to the invoice so repair shops can use Gnucash

    I have a little small engine repair shop, and Gnucash invoices work well if you're selling things, but repair shops need 3 fields on a customer invoice that Gnucash invoices don't have yet:

    1 Below customer info we need a field to put a description of the item being repaired.

    2 Below that we need a field to record the instructions the customer gave us on what they want done.

    3 Below that we need a field to describe the work that we did.

    The fields shouldn't have any set length, they should expand to suit the text because depending…

  10. Include Customer Number as an optional field for Customer Listing and Customer Summary reports

    I use the business functions in GnuCash, and regularly need to export customer account data to use in other applications. Currently, the easiest way to do this seems to be by using the customer/Vendor Listing, Customer/Vendor Summary, and Receivables/payables aging reports, but there is no way to include the customer or vendor numbers, which are a much more robust key field than the customer name.

    Is it possible to include the number field in these reports?

  12. Allow different icons for different account types (themes)

    The little bank building icon you use everywhere are ugly and repulsive (I hate pretensions institutions that rip people off). And they serve no useful purpose. Users or theme designers should be able to remove them entirely or pick their own, meaningful, icons for different account types.

  13. add a relative period option before end date in reports

    I would like to set my end date in reports as "end last month/quarter" and have start dates that are relative to the end date so I get a report that summarises the last three, six, or twelve complete months so that I can see a moving window of data as the year progresses.

  14. Add a Toolbar Button to toggle Double Line Mode

    I find myself frequently switching between single and double line mode when viewing my transaction registers so that I can either see the Notes field, or hide it so I can see more transactions at once. Navigating through the View menu to do this slows me down quite a bit. It would be nice if there were a Toolbar button for this. Alternatively, or in addition, perhaps a keyboard shortcut for toggling Double Line mode could be added.

  16. while add a new customer/vendor/employee, the address is not necessary.

    sometime I just want to add a customer/vendor/employee as quickly as I can, then complete other information.

    but the address is needed, and can’t skip this step.

    It will be more efficient if remove the address step.

  17. Collapse all accounts shortcut

    Hi sir, I use Gnucash as a warehouse management software, almost have two thousand subaccounts and thirty parent accounts.

    collapse account one by one is slow, scroll up to the top level also need some time.

    Is it possible that add a global shortcut that can collapse all accounts directly ?

  18. Multiple attached URLs / identifiers per transactions

    (Or files, that would also be useful.)

    Closely related to existing feature request: https://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/1951947-user-defined-fields-attributes

    I often have a single transaction represented in multiple systems. For example, say I pay a grocery order which is split between me and my flatmates.

    • The grocery order has an "order number" associated with the merchant (a string like abc-12345-xyz).
    • The order also has a URL with the merchant.
    • We use Splitwise to split transactions, so I'd also like to attach the Splitwise URL to the transaction. (Basically if I pay $250 for groceries, there's a maybe $50 split that goes to "Expenses:Groceries", then…

  19. Add support to generate electronic accounts in iXBRL

    In the UK, we can file for accounts electronically. I believe it's by exporting the accounts in a format called "Inline eXtensible Reporting Language" (iXBRL).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBRL

    https://www.gov.uk/company-filing-software

    The following is a list of software tested by Companies House that they recommend to companies for electronic filing. When or if GnuCash adds this support, it could also be added to this list.

    https://www.gov.uk/company-filing-software/filing-annual-accounts-returns-and-tax-accounts

    It appears this format is also accepted in the US, and Singapore as well.

  20. Support 'anchor' transactions

    When transferring paper based records into Gnucash I find there it useful to have some transactions at points where I know, from a bank or other statement what the balance must really be, even if it does not match the result of the preceding gnucash transactions.
    I adjust the balance by transferring to or from an equity account.
    In some respects this is a generalisation of the Opening Balance when an account is created, since that must really have come from somewhere.
    I record the amount these transactions should have in the transaction description, but it would be useful if…
