1. 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

   Thank you

2. 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 and settings ) - but when I transferred it to a USB drive all the setups were gone. they should be related to the gnucash file - not my user directory.

3. 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).

   Technically speaking, the standard Cash Flow Statement is kind of a cross between Income Statement and Balance sheet. It has the style of the balance sheet in expressing an equation between two sides of a computation, and it uses the summing-up mechanism of the Income Statement to sum up not only income and expense, but also asset, liability and equity entries for a given period. And then some.

   The report has four parts, where the first three have a break-down of only one level, and the fourth is even simpler:
   Operating flow + Investment flow + Financing flow = Cash flow,
   where
   Operational flow is represented as high level of Income Statement directly in cash basis or supplemented with adjustments to convert it from accrual basis;
   Investment flow is represented as high-level grouping of acquisitions and dispositions;
   Financing flow is represented as high-level grouping of liabilities + equities + receivables flow;
   Cash flow is represented as a simple calculation: "cash at end of period minus cash at beginning of period".

   The first thing to note is that assets are divided into three sub-classes: Investment, Receivable and Cash, which each separately take part in the big equation. You cannot generate a standard Cash Flow Statement without these subclasses, and you have to make sure all asset accounts belong to one of them. So a user who wants to use the standard report has to make sure the classification of assets is done right.

   The next thing to note is much trickier. In principle, Income Statement is always given on accrual basis, but the Cash Flow Statement is always given on cash basis. To achieve this, there are two ways to represent the Operating flow: direct and indirect.
   For the indirect form, you have to supplement the Net Income from Income Statement by adding entries that adjust the result from accrual to cash basis. This is easy, once we make sure GnuCash ignores these additional entries in book closing as well as in generating the Income Statement.
   For the direct form, you have to bypass part or all of the Income Statement, depending on how exactly the accrual basis was achieved, but in my limited understanding, the choices again require you to supply additional entries to finish the job.
   Someone who has actual experience of other accounting software might be able to explain how these additional entries possibly could be supplied automatically. Sine I don't have such experience, as I really have trouble imagining it.

   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.

4. 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?

5. 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.

6. 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 GnuCash administration can't be used by multiple concurrent users, having a central GnuCash administration, which is always available, is useful since it can be used by multiple persons (albeit one person at a time).

   How does it work when I am a Synology DSM user and am looking for financial software? In the DSM Package Manager GnuCash becomes visible in the category "Community". I will be inclined to give it a try since installing and uninstalling a package is easy. So deploying GnuCash on NAS-systems will motivate more people to have a look at GnuCash (and start using the software).

   Notes:
   1. Please refer to https://synocommunity.com for other 3rd party packages available for Synology DSM or https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/packages for the regular add-on packages for Synology DSM .
   2. I am happy to participate in the development process, e.g. by testing the solution.

7. 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. Mostly I would like something more convenient than opening the editor every time to correct both of those entries.

8. "enable Google Drive" as option for exporting transactions

   Hello, I noticed on 20190517 that the "enable Google Drive" option does not appear when exporting transactions. Seeing as Dropbox has recently introduced some very restrictive measures, it might be a good idea to include other options. Google Drive works across all OS'es so its a good bet.

10. Have an option to change the transaction color

    It would be very helpful to have the ability to highlight either a transaction or a group of transactions by various colors. This could be used to highlight the end of a quarter, a transaction in need of review, and could be used to group transactions based on user preference ie green transactions are credit payments and red ones are credit charges. Basically, they could be used to easily make certain transactions stand out on the register, making it easier to spot those transactions. Making transactions easier to spot, makes things more productive and less error prone.

18. Allow for transaction delays

    The idea here would be to use an account for funds in flight, allowing you to account for the delays between financial institutions.

    You would go into the Transfer Funds menu and it would have a tick mark for "delay". When this is ticked, another option called "Date Received" appears. If it has a different date, GnuCash would create TWO transactions. One which goes from accountfrom to Limbo, and another which goes from Limbo to accountto.

    Ideally these transactions would be linked such that a change in the amount or description would also reflect in the other accounts.

    Use case example:

    Suppose I want to transfer from Ally Bank to Wells Fargo. When I push from Ally, it automatically deducts that from the account, but Wells Fargo does not become aware of this for several days. This can take up to 5 days.

    Does this seem reasonable?

20. Save read-only status in the "recent" entries

    when you use "open" you can specify "read-only" seems to work fine but... it looks like its not saving that in the "recent" entries. which means you need to redo all the path all-over again every time with the open if this would be saved with the "recent" entry it would be very very nice. Also along those lines . it would be nice to document that to create a read only access you need to "grant" insert update and delete to db.gnclock and select to db.*
