  1. 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…

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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…

    In addition to selecting date, memo etc, select the reconciliation status so that we can tell from a report whether or not a transaction has cleared the bank

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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...

  14. Automatically prorate the balance of a split

    I see to situations to use this:

    1) Creating a transaction with splits and a balance (not splited yet)

    2) Change the total balance of a splitted transction

    In theses case the program should offer a option to prorate the balance evenly or proportionally between the splits already existing

  15. Save report configurations, the style sheets, and general options relating to that db in the db. (Acc period, business name)

    Some users want to have multiple gnucash databases and that they be portable. This means that certain options should be saved in or with the .gnucash file.
    eg.
    1. Accounting period.
    2. Currency
    3. Saved report configs
    4. Style sheets.

    I would like to completely separate my gnucash databases
    But at present gnucash is almost unusable because of the disparity in what is saved to where. It doesnt allow for multiple gnucash files for different organisations.

    Especially if I am setting it up to be used by someone else eventually.

    I set up a report for my club ( images…

  16. Cash Flow Statement based on GAAP (USA) and/or IFRS (international) standards

    I was trying to find if someone has requested Cash Flow Statement based on GAAP (USA) and/or IFRS (international) standards to be implemented in GnuCash, but only found such requests from the GnuCash users mailing list, not from the feature request database. On the mailing list, unfortunately, the responses revealed that the GnuCash team is not familiar with the concept, although it has long history and is a well established accounting discipline.

    So I decided to make an attempt to describe the idea instead of just referring to external resources (but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_flow_statement really is a good source to begin with).

  17. Implement Open Banking API for online accounts

    There was already a request last December for implementing PSD2 in GnuCash, but this was declined as it is only a "legal framework" and not an API in and of itself. Now Nets have an API for their Open Banking solution which is in accordance with PSD2 and already implemented in many Nordic banks. There is even a sandbox available via their website:

    https://www.nets.eu/solutions/open-banking-access

    Will this be something that is a better candidate for future releases?

  18. Connect to banks using the Saltedge Spectre API

    An alternative (and free for most cases) bank connections could be done with https://docs.saltedge.com/account_information/v5/#quick_start .
    The project https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii currently have this implementations and it works perfectly, but FireFly III features are quite reduced. In fact, at the docs suggest GNUCash when a more complex financial app is required (https://firefly-iii.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support/features.html) :)

    Please consider adding this api to automatically obtain the back transactions. The api is well documented and quite simple to connect.
    https://docs.firefly-iii.org/en/latest/import/spectre.html

  19. GnuCash for Synology DSM

    GnuCash is available for Linux distributions like Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.

    Nowadays network attached storage (NAS) is quite popular. NAS-systems are relatively cheap and offer great value (file station, photo station, backup, etc.). NAS-systems from Synology (and many competitors) are based on Linux.

    It is beneficial for small companies that GnuCash becomes available on NAS-systems like Synology DSM.

    Typically a NAS is always running. The continuous availability makes it easy for somebody to update a GnuCash administration on a NAS by using a webclient. Without much effort, somebody else may check the same GnuCash administration at a later time.

    Although a…

  20. create an option to define what type of commodity prices are being imported.

    Once a week I download the week ending prices of all the stocks that I have owned to a csv file. Almost all of them import well. 2 do not. Those two are COP and ADP, because GnuCash assumes both are currencies.

    i.e.
    My CSV file has Conoco Phillips (COP) price and GnuCash assigns the value to Columbian Peso (COP)

    I would like an option to say that all of the imported prices are stocks, or to ignore currencies. Maybe a pop-up window asking what the individual price is associated with when there are multiple commodities with the same ticker.…
