Autocomplete year for nearest date, instead of current year
Suppose it's 5th Jan 2011 and I'm entering transactions for December. If I type "20.12" (european) it is almost certain I mean 20.12.2010 (two weeks ago), not 20.12.2011 (one year in the future).
GnuCash should definitely guess the nearest date's year if it's less than 3 months ago, and probably also even if it's as much as 6 months ago.
2 votesThis feature is already available in gnucash 2.4.4, where you can choose a “number of months in the past” etc.

Analytical accounts
I would love to get analytical accounting within gnucash : it would be that way possible to account for transactions in their right account, but group them in custom reports, by analytical group.
Example :
- Restaurants bills go in restaurant account.
- Restaurants bills related to a big trip abroad (let's say "Australia") would be in this same account, but with an analytical classification as "Australia".
- a report on "Australia" would give that expense.1 voteThanks for the idea. It has been submitted already as “Transaction classification” or “tagging”, see http://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/1543027-transaction-classifications?ref=title

Touch Interface GUI design
This may not be applicable yet, but it might be helpful to consider what interface elements might need to be adjusted for touch interfaces (iPad, Android, and similar). On those the resolution might be greater or smaller than an ordinary screen and/or multiple/changeable orientation. The register and other elements would need to handle options and data entry for non-precise ("fat-fingered") selections.
1 voteI’m sorry, but no, development on any of the tablet operating systems is a completely different topic. I.e. to have an app there, you would have to create a completely new application from scratch (in other programming languages etc.). This is a different project than the current desktop gnucash application.

Shortcut key to jump registered tab
For more quick data entry.
2 votesSee http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Keyboard_Shortcuts for existing keyboard shortcuts – I guess the one you are looking for already exists.

This is completely outside the scope of our current project. The current project aims at a desktop application, potentially with multi-user capabilities, but in that case the database is the server, not gnucash. Sorry for that.

Would like to have a note field for a transaction.
Currently there is a description which I use to enter who the transaction is for or where its from. I start typing the description and it autopopulates with the last time that description was entered. It would be nice to have a note field, that does not autopopulate, so you could say Description is Amazon.com and note is "birthday present for so and so". This may be able to be combined with the other suggestion for attaching scanned receipts.
1 voteThanks for the feedback. Is already implemented, then.

Inventory system (mini inventory)
It would be nice to have "mini" inventory, in which I can receive good for sales, maintain a stock. And it would be nicer, if it is "connected" to invoice, so I can invoice my customers for goods they bought.
126 votesThis request is understandable and useful for some users. However, to be honest this won’t be implemented in GnuCash for quite some time (read: years) to come. GnuCash in its current design is targeted towards a home user or small business user, where the financial book-keeping is available. An additional inventory system (beyond using stock accounts not for stocks but for pieces of inventory) is a completely new system, which is not planned and easily possible in GnuCash for some years to come. Because of this, we have to decline this request for now.

This request has become a mixture of two different albeit related requests.
The first one is to have independent accounting periods for separate books.
The second is being able to manage multiple companies within one book.
From an implementation point of view these two are totally unrelated and it’s unclear how the votes cast for this mixed request should be separated.
Luckily both requests also exist as indepentent feature suggestions:
- http://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/1607557-per-book-accounting-periods
- http://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/7159885-allow-for-multiple-companies-subsidiaries-and-fFor manageability I’ll close this request. Please recast your votes on either or both of the other requests. Thank you.
