01:17:03 <mrwillob1> Is there a way in reports to display the parent accounts of a subaccount in the name? For example, I have a number of subaccounts called "Dining" and I would like their parent accounts to show on the line like "Coupons:Dining" or "Tax:Sales:Dining" instead of a bunch of accounts showing with the same name...

13:02:43 *** lenscape has joined #gnucash
13:04:16 <lenscape> one company - several trading names - several web sites/emails/etc. Only one set of 'Book Options' possible. Any way around this?
13:05:59 <lenscape> we need to present several 'personalities' for the same company.
13:08:20 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
13:09:09 <warlord> lenscape: ummm... gnucash is a 1 book per view thing.
13:11:39 <warlord> I can't think of any good way to setup up gnucash to have different views of the same book for different outward views of one taxable entity. It's just not designed for that, I'm afraid.
13:12:05 <lenscape> hmm
13:13:05 <lenscape> is all the book info in the XML file?
13:14:56 <warlord> the book info, yes. but some additional user preferences are stored in gconf.
13:15:06 <warlord> and some stuff is stored in a key-file file
13:15:39 <lenscape> the actual company name I could live with but we need different web sites and email addresses
13:15:45 <lenscape> and phone numbers
13:17:12 <warlord> there's only a single spot for that in the data file
13:17:59 <lenscape> I guess I could leave those fields blank and include the info in the logo image
13:19:02 <lenscape> then use different report style for the different trading entities
13:19:24 <lenscape> that would work
13:20:23 <warlord> Maybe...

16:39:50 <lenscape> quiet innit?
16:40:15 <warlord> it usually is.
16:40:49 <lenscape> I assume I use the tax table editor for setting up my VAT?
16:41:18 <lenscape> warlord: are you familiar with UK VAT?
16:43:24 <warlord> not personally
16:44:06 <lenscape> do I use a different tax table entry for input and output VAT?
16:44:31 <lenscape> I'm not sure what to use for the Account for VAT
16:51:08 <warlord> Yes, you should.. Because it goes into a different account.
16:52:18 <lenscape> thanks
16:52:32 <warlord> NP
16:53:28 *** kling0n has quit IRC
16:54:55 <lenscape> can I get a line subtotal on an invoice after tax is applied?
16:55:32 <warlord> what do you mean by "line subtotal"?
16:55:50 <lenscape> qty x unit price + tax = line subtotal
16:56:01 *** |gunni| has joined #gnucash
16:56:21 <warlord> in which view do you want to see this?
16:56:33 <lenscape> entering supplier invoice details
16:57:10 <warlord> It should be on the right-hand side of the screen, "SubTotal" and "Tax"
16:57:22 <warlord> You may need to scroll over to it.
16:57:33 <lenscape> sorry - yes just found it - it had been squashed to |S|
16:57:59 <lenscape> description is huge but won't shrink to leave room for ther other fields
16:58:16 <warlord> Make the other fields larger first, then shrink the description.
16:58:19 <warlord> See the FAQ
16:58:29 <lenscape> sussed it. Thanks
16:59:40 <warlord> np
17:03:09 <warlord> gotta run

21:48:27 <VH-BIL> Hi, When I add money to the income there is always a zero balance. When I add an income transaction there is always a charge one straight after it.

22:36:19 *** VH-BIL has joined #gnucash
22:37:39 <VH-BIL> is there a way to get a report on scheduled expenses, like how much money is available on a date in the future?
22:43:35 <warlord> VH-BIL: only based on transactions actually in your CoA. The SXes are not taken into account.
22:44:28 <VH-BIL> so instead of scheduled expenses i should make a budget?
22:44:36 <warlord> VH-BIL: also, I dind't understand your question about income and zero-balance. It sounds like you don't quite understand the concept of double-entry.
22:44:44 <warlord> Ummmmmmm... No......
22:44:59 <warlord> You could have your SXes apply in advance.
22:45:06 <warlord> How far in the future are you trying to look?
22:45:58 <VH-BIL> then end of the month to see if I make a purchase now, I have the money at the end of the money to pay bills for instance
22:46:56 <warlord> Oh, so only 1 month in advance... Just schedule your SXes to post 1 month in advance.
22:48:02 <VH-BIL> how do i get such a report with the scheduled transactions taken into account?
22:48:15 <warlord> You dont
22:48:24 <warlord> (unless you intend to write it)
22:48:42 <VH-BIL> I do work as a programmer :)
22:49:27 <warlord> Ah. well then, you could write the scheme to do what you want. Right now, none of the reports take SXes into account, partly because there's the complication of variables in the SX.
22:49:34 <warlord> jsled could give you more details.
22:49:47 <warlord> But you'd have to swig-wrap the SX APIs
22:49:55 <warlord> and then modify the reports to handle SXes..
22:50:39 <VH-BIL> is the code documented well?
22:50:54 <warlord> define "well"
22:51:03 <warlord> http://cvs.gnucash.org/docs/HEAD/
22:51:15 <VH-BIL> is there documentation?
22:52:09 <warlord> Did you look at that URL?
22:52:16 <VH-BIL> there now
22:55:27 <warlord> ok
