00:15:00 <jasperbg> 'lo. here in New Zealand we have Goods & Services Tax (GST). all GST-registered "persons" must charge 12.5% GST with sales, and pay it to the govt. when GST-registered "persons" buy things, they claim the GST content of what they purchased back from the govt.
00:15:07 <jasperbg> how would i account for this in gnucash?
00:17:09 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
00:18:18 <warlord> I think this is detailed out in the docs, but usually what people do is create a simple account hierarchy (either as an Asset or a Liability, depending on whether you normally owe the gov't money or expect to get it back): {A/L}:GST:{Paid,Collected}
00:22:59 <jasperbg> ok, that seems sensible. are you able to link to the place in the docs where it is detailed? i had a look but couldn't see anything
00:23:16 <warlord> Ummm..
00:24:14 <warlord> I'd have to google for it.
00:25:07 <jasperbg> lol i'll have a closer look
00:25:20 <jasperbg> thought you might have the link on hand ;) i should be able to find it

00:27:04 <jasperbg> that's it

10:12:36 <Harley^> Howdy.
10:13:01 <jsled> hello.
10:13:57 <Harley^> Will GnuCash work with multiusers accessing it ? If so, is there documentation on the WIKI ? If the documentation exists on the WIKI, where on the WIKI can I find the documentation ?
10:14:42 <jsled> (It's just "wiki" ... it's not an acronym.)
10:14:55 <jsled> http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Can_I_use_GnuCash_with_multiple_users.3F__Maybe_via_the_SQL_backend.3F
10:16:56 <Harley^> Thank you.
10:18:08 <jsled> you're welcome.

11:52:35 <warlord> andi5: thanks for the research. I'll go try that patch and see if it works.
11:53:05 <jsled> warlord: speaking of patches ... do you have some cycles to review some old business-related patches?
11:53:21 <jsled> They both seem straightforward and applyable, but it'd be nice if you could weigh in.
11:53:43 <jsled> I can dig up the bugs I'm thinking of. Also, I don't mean right now, so much as "this week".
11:54:09 <jsled> (I guess that's a form of meta-asking ... heh. I should just post the bug numbers. :)
11:54:11 <warlord> maybe? this week is usenix security W-F.
11:54:37 <jsled> Ah.
11:54:50 <warlord> well, I see 327218, 343727, and 343728 -- which are in my queue.
11:54:56 <warlord> Are there other #s?
11:55:01 * jsled looks
11:55:26 <jsled> yeah. Those are them.
11:55:30 <warlord> Today I need to file expense reports and the reimage my laptop. That's my plan for today. Tomorrow I might have time.
11:56:08 <jsled> There's also Klee's big lot patch <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421684>.
11:56:32 <warlord> Hmm, I wonder why that's not in my list.
11:56:56 <warlord> OH, because it's in UI-Gen, not Engine
11:57:00 <jsled> yeah.
11:57:44 <jsled> Oh, and I thought this was already applied, but <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420543> is related.
11:57:54 <jsled> (and assigned to General)
11:58:28 <jsled> Hmm. We should probably change the Assignee for those components from Wilddev.
11:58:29 <warlord> Nope, looks like neither has been applied.
11:58:38 <warlord> Yeah, probably. ;)
11:59:55 <warlord> Anyways, I've added those two to my queue to look at. The latter is probably okay. I dont know about the former.
12:00:35 <jsled> yeah. That one is ... big.
12:20:40 <andi5> warlord: you are welcome
12:20:52 <warlord> :)
12:22:37 <andi5> somehow i do not like bugs in telephone systems... like never ending waiting signals while speaking... grrr
12:26:40 <warlord> Hahahaha
12:26:41 <warlord> Yeah
