17:38:17 <arnd> hello
17:40:41 <arnd> is there a way to void a split to an "accounts reccievable" account that is marked as an invoice there?
17:42:09 <arnd> i know you can't delete it and i don't want do that, but i'm looking for a way to say "this invoice won't be paid for (as it has been replaced by a corrected version)"
17:52:43 *** pcroque has quit IRC
17:54:52 <warlord> what do you mean, "replaced by a corrected version"?
17:55:13 <warlord> When you unpost an invoice it removes the original A/R Txn.
17:57:57 *** andyt has quit IRC
17:59:09 *** hvx has quit IRC
18:01:22 <arnd> currently i'm not using the invoice feature, as i create them externally
18:01:43 <warlord> then you cannot use AR accounts.
18:02:40 <warlord> if you do not want to use the business features then just use a regular asset
18:02:55 <arnd> mh, ok
18:03:59 <arnd> just felt natural to file receivables und an "accounts receivable" anncount...
18:04:37 <warlord> yes, but you must use the rest of the bus. features for that to work.
18:05:06 <warlord> hand-entering into a/r and a/p isn't supported, and none of thebus reports will work
18:05:31 <arnd> is there a way to import invoices?
18:05:46 <warlord> no
18:06:15 <arnd> so i'd have to enter each split of each invoice by hand?
18:06:36 <warlord> if you want... or just input the invoice total.
18:06:55 <arnd> seems reasonable
18:07:13 <arnd> thanks a lot
18:07:19 <arnd> good night
18:07:21 <warlord> see you

19:51:17 <yfc> Hi everyone, I have a question about GnuCash's ability to retrieve financial quotes.
19:53:27 <yfc> Is GnuCash able to retrieve quotes from Google Finance? There are a few tickers that I can't seem to get with the existing sites (mostly mutual funds).
20:04:44 *** Marquel has joined #gnucash
20:04:50 <Marquel> morning
20:09:57 *** Zoolooc_ has quit IRC
20:11:28 <Marquel> short question: what are "jobs" (or "orders") good for? i can create them, assign bills and invoices, but are they used anywhere else than that?
20:17:17 <andrewsw> yfc: I don't use the feature, so can't say for sure, but pretty much anything that Finance::Quote can retrieve should be retrievable in gnucash. but that's just a guess.
20:18:36 <andrewsw> Marquel: the purpose is to allow tracking the equivalent of purchase orders, I think. Another feature I don't use
20:19:17 <andrewsw> Marquel: http://gnucash.org/docs/v1.8/C/gnucash-guide/bus_ap_jobs1.html
20:20:16 <andrewsw> or, in the current docs: http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/guide/bus-ap-jobs1.html, but this particular entry is essentially identical

20:40:17 <KamyKaze> Hi! Can you help me?
20:41:15 <jsled> not until you ask a real question. :)
20:41:31 <jsled> (please don't ask-to-ask. Just ask your question, and wait as long as you can for a response.)
20:41:49 <goodger> "I have a problem. My name is Alexander Freemason."
20:42:00 <goodger> "I'm sorry, I can't help you with that problem."
20:43:45 <KamyKaze> Need some help with the online quotes. The price editor cannot retrieve currency.
20:44:16 <KamyKaze> I can get updated stock quotes but not currency.
20:45:06 <KamyKaze> I use Euro as the base currency and cannot get USD and GBP prices.
20:45:48 <KamyKaze> I'm on WinXP. Is this a known problem?
20:56:12 *** Rolf has joined #gnucash
21:10:08 <KamyKaze> More info: Gnucash is v2.2.9.
21:11:43 <KamyKaze> Tools>Securities Editor>CURRENCY>USD>Edit shows "Get Online Quotes" ticked.
21:12:52 <KamyKaze> Type of quote source is greyed out .
21:14:04 <KamyKaze> I'm off to bed now but thank you in advance for your replies.
21:16:18 <KamyKaze> P.S. Price Editor>Get Quotes error message is:
21:17:36 <KamyKaze> Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:
21:17:41 <KamyKaze> CURRENCY:GBP
21:17:41 <KamyKaze> CURRENCY: USD
21:17:41 <KamyKaze> Continue using only the good quotes?
