  1. CNY currency change to CNH

    Currently GnuCash uses CNY as Chinese Yuan currency name, is it possible to change it to CNH, insce CNY is Chinese Yuan used in Mainland China, which is not available to exchange for other currencies, and CNH is the offshore version of the same currency (therefore can be exchanged for other currencies). Detail please see here https://www.dailyfx.com/forex/fundamental/article/special_report/2018/09/12/cnh-vs-cny-differences-between-the-two-yuan-.html

  3. How To: Remove Entries from Recent File History List

    After searching forever and finding no answers, but seeing other people also ask ... the question remains, how to remove the history of opened accounts, say for example you have several test accounts in various locations or named the same ... example: business.gncash, but 3 versions... obviously it's very helpful to remove what is not currently used or named unique.

    Most people use Windows right ?

    Open regedit (type regedit in the run box, press ok)
    Open HKEYCURRENTUSER
    Expand Software then GSettings then org then gnucash
    Click on the History folder to see a list of names and…

  4. A/Payable Shows red amounts on some transactions

    Recently payable account shows a red minus value after a payment? Searched for ever to find why all other transactions are normal.
    By total accident discovered that if auto number invoice is used, then its normal.
    Adding an invoice number makes a red entry.
    The solution, make sure the payables account has the same invoice number for recording and paying, by default it does not add the invoice number on one entry, add it manually and balances show normal then.
    Perhaps add a tip somewhere on this in help file or cause gnucash to copy custom invoice numbers on debits…

  7. Add buttons to navigate between online price retrieval and security editor

    Adding securitites and setting up online price retrieval can involve a lot of clicking to switch between the retrieval tool and the security editor. Please add a button "Retrieve prices now" to the window allowing to edit/create securities. And add a button in the retrieval tool "Edit Security" for existing ones when selecting the security.

  8. Ignore dummy split in memorized transaction for proper calculation of exchange rate and Trading Accounts

    At the moment, memorized split transaction works perfectly if it involves a pair of regular accounts (and a pair of trading accounts).

    However, in the case of stock dividend entry, another dummy split will be needed to indicate the relevant stock for proper reporting in Advanced Portfolio. For example:

    Asset\Citibank\USD 100.00
    Trading\Currency\EUR 92.00
    Asset\Stock\ABC
    Income\Dividend 92.00
    Trading\Currency\USD 100.00

    Due to this extra split, the exchange rate windows won't popup to calculate the equivalent amount for the other account as well as the trading accounts.

    It would be nice if some extra logic could be added in processing the memorized transaction…

  12. Add an ability to set the fraction traded to smaller than 1/1000000000

    There are plenty of crypto currencies where the smallest denomination is less than the current limit. (E.g. ETH on Ethereum blockchain has 1e-18 and so do many tokens there).

  13. Move blank transaction to the top of register

    We have options to view transactions from newest to oldest by date for easier to check our transactions.
    But, I need to move to the bottom for every time i want to put my new transactions into the register. It's look like not good practice.
    Please, Add the option that make "Blank Transaction" Move to the Top of Register.

  14. Pre-fill descriptions in post invoice dialog box

    When posting an invoice the user is prompted to enter the post date, due date, transaction number and description/memo.

    This idea is to pre-populate the description with data already entered in the invoice details. Users would be able to select invoice data, vendor name/number, invoice number, due dates, job name, customer name/number, customer charge back, billing ID etc etc

    This pre-populating will reduce data entry when posting the invoice to the general ledger

  15. Change default invoice report to a user-created custom one

    When creating/editing/viewing an invoice, one can easily click the "printer button" so a report about the invoice is generated, in a format that can be sent to customers.

    However, the default report isn't exactly beautiful and readable, so I created a custom report and saved the template. This way, I can send better invoices to my customers. Unfortunately, I have to open my custom report, search for the invoice and, finally, generate the result I want.

    That got me thinking: it would be so more practical if I could choose the default template or custom report to be used by…

  17. Scheduled Transactions "except on weekends" should have an option for holidays

    Different countries have different holidays, but the holidays could be entered on the initial setup by the user. The program could reference the list so it doesn't have to be hard coded for each country.

  18. Add built-in calculator to Template Transaction - Scheduled Transation Editor

    In the Scheduled Transaction Editor / Template Transaction, the built-in calculator is not available. Version 3.7
    In any of the amount fields, you can use a built-in calculator. Simply type in the first value, followed by +, -, *, or /, then type in the second value. GnuCash will perform the calculation and return the resulting value to the amount field when you press the Tab key.

  19. Allow a subaccount to be tied to the parernt account

    A debit or credit card that is associated with a bank account should be closely tied to this bank account. This means that the balances of the card and parent bank accounts should be kept equal. A transaction via a card should influence the balance of the parent account, without a necessity to make a split transaction.

    Please advise if this feature has been already implemented.

  20. make it easy to switch from Quickbooks.

    Because Quickbooks is pushing all of their customers to moving toward the cloud based system that does not work well at all, I already know many businesses and individuals who want to switch. The biggest obstacle for them doing it is the impossible task of getting any historical data and transactions imported from their existing books into GnuCash...
