06:50:25 <warlord> lenscape_: you can change the Payment transaction date.
07:21:52 *** goella1 has joined #gnucash
07:23:07 <lenscape_> warlord: thanks. I updated the ledger directly for one transaction but I have another that I can't find
07:23:45 <goella1> Good day. I use 2.2.6 GNUash on Ubuntu 9.04. How can I set left border on "Printable Invoice" output?
07:37:41 <warlord> lenscape_: what do you mean "can't find"?
07:38:04 <warlord> goella1: you can't. It's an issue with GtkHTML. GnuCash 2.4 will be much better about that.
07:40:56 *** goella1 has quit IRC
07:41:28 <lenscape_> warlord: it's marked as paid in the bill list but I can't find it in the ledger
07:41:47 *** cortana has joined #gnucash
07:44:06 <warlord> well, open up the invoice report for that invoice and select "show payments" and it'll tell you the date it was paid..
07:44:13 * warlord has 2 minutes before logging out.
07:45:37 <warlord> sorry, gotta go. bye

08:39:52 <Jimraehl> goella1: http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2009-July/030582.html is a pretty good set of instructions for building your own Gnucash from svn source.
08:40:35 <Jimraehl> Nuts, he left just as I posted.
08:42:14 *** MechtiIde has quit IRC
08:43:16 <Jimraehl> If anyone else is interested, this post helps too: http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2009-July/030589.html

11:45:56 <dion> I'm trying to track some stock I've started to buy through work. I don't buy a set number of shares, I buy a set dollar amount bi-weekly.
11:47:19 <dion> It's possible to own 40.345 shares, with purchase prices varying. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
11:50:41 <cortana> is tehre a smallest possible fraction you can buy?
11:54:44 *** Zoolooc has joined #gnucash
12:05:18 <dion> Not that I'm aware of. It's through automatic payroll deductions.
12:05:22 <dion> cortana,

15:13:35 <bleubarrie> hi all, i know this is probably an annoying question, given what I could find via google, but is there any target version in which lots will be implemented for stock transactions (or other transactions, I suppose, although I'm interested in stocks and stock options).

17:41:33 <bleubarrie> hi all, did anyone see my question above about lots?
17:43:28 <cortana> yup, but i think most people are asleep this time :)
17:43:40 <cortana> you could check back tomorrow or ask on the mailing list :)
18:05:49 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
18:06:05 * warlord didn't see it, but is still up (but will be going to sleep shortly)
18:08:02 <cortana> <bleubarrie> hi all, i know this is probably an annoying question, given what I could find via google, but is there any target version in which lots will be implemented for stock transactions (or other transactions, I suppose, although I'm interested in stocks and stock options).
18:09:20 <warlord> Define "implemented"?
18:22:24 *** sjc has quit IRC
18:37:13 *** Zoolooc has quit IRC
18:50:24 *** sjc has joined #gnucash
19:49:00 <bleubarrie> oh sorry
19:49:10 <bleubarrie> i am in California--where is everyone on this list?
19:49:16 <bleubarrie> anyway, was out for a while but will be back soon
19:49:40 <bleubarrie> implemented: i mean that the google stuff I found said that it was disabled in the versions they were talking about (2.2? i think)
19:49:44 <bleubarrie> because it was too buggy
19:49:58 <bleubarrie> i will ask later/tomorrow (CET?)
19:57:52 <warlord> bleubarrie: I normally live in US/ET, but right now i'm in CET
19:58:01 <warlord> It's 2am -- I really should be in bed.
19:58:52 <warlord> But still, as for "implemented", what exactly are you looking for GnuCash to do? Lots do exist... What DOESN'T exist is the automatic usage of them (because there were bugs and nobody spent the time to debug it, so it was safer to turn off the auto-usage)
20:11:16 *** warlord is now known as warlord-afk
20:23:30 *** JimRaehl2 has left #gnucash
20:24:05 *** Jimraehl has joined #gnucash
20:33:44 <bleubarrie> warlord: thanks, i see you are AFK (had to run out one last time--got 2 kids here right now but will be on later while you'er hopefully sleeping)
20:41:12 <bleubarrie> anyway, what i read said that you had to use lots to track stock sales, but that lots weren't implemented. maybe i misunderstood it -- if there's a way to use lots manually, i would love to find it, but i have not been able to in the docs. I'm using 2.2.9
20:42:01 *** cortana has quit IRC
20:42:14 <bleubarrie> for example, i have some stock options given my husband by his company at various times and strike prices. I entered all these as stocks in a stock account
20:43:00 <bleubarrie> but when i tried to sell some of them (not all of the first lot--just a part of it), i had to manually enter the sale as someone one a gnucash user list suggested.
21:17:57 *** blacknred0 has joined #gnucash
21:18:21 <blacknred0> is there a way to perform year to year compression in gnucash?
21:19:09 <blacknred0> thnx for your help in advance

21:55:26 *** delaman has quit IRC
21:59:38 <bleubarrie> blacknred0: you mean closing the books?
22:00:01 <blacknred0> bleubarrie, i guess so...
22:00:27 <bleubarrie> i'm not one of the experts here--i'm here hoping to get an answer of my own but the experts are in more easterly time zones
22:00:34 <bleubarrie> but i think that's maybe what you are looking for?
22:00:37 <bleubarrie> hang on, i'll see where it is
22:00:42 <blacknred0> i have a threat open http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7643617#post7643617
22:01:04 <blacknred0> bleubarrie, alright, thnx for your help
22:01:13 <bleubarrie> Tools>Close Books
22:01:19 <bleubarrie> i'm on 2.2.9
22:01:21 <bleubarrie> i'll look at your thread
22:02:35 <bleubarrie> granted i've never closed the books in my own implementation
22:02:54 <blacknred0> bleubarrie, so this should do it?!
22:03:14 <blacknred0> i've never done it myself either. i thought that it was going to be one of the reports :/
22:04:06 <bleubarrie> http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Is_there_book-closing_support.2C_yet.3F
22:04:27 <bleubarrie> read the FAQ entry and see if this is what you are looking for . . .
22:04:51 <bleubarrie> sorry i can't be of more help
22:04:53 <bleubarrie> heh
22:05:08 <bleubarrie> i think others recommended to me to try in about 6-8 hours when the others are awake
22:05:18 <bleubarrie> or ask on one of the mailing lists, which i might do
22:05:26 <bleubarrie> so you could ask yours later or on the list
22:05:34 <bleubarrie> might get a better answer than mine
22:06:48 <blacknred0> bleubarrie, that is ok. at least you got me in a really good start :P. thnx for your help. i'll see what i can do now ;P
22:07:00 <bleubarrie> sometimes it's just knowing a new term to search for
22:07:03 <bleubarrie> np
22:08:45 <blacknred0> ;)
