11:53:49 <psymin> I'm new to GnuCash. I just imported a credit card statement into my liability account. I'd like to quickly change all the 'Imbalance-USD' entries for a bunch of 'CHG-Wordens' memos to 'Expenses:Groceries' .. any suggestions?
11:54:43 <warlord> psymin: you should have done that in the importer.
11:55:36 <psymin> Hmm, I didn't see that as an option. I was able to associated all charges with the card ..
11:56:47 <psymin> I'm on 2.2.9-r1 .. is that a new feature that I'd need 2.3.x for?
11:56:54 <warlord> No, it's been there forever.
11:57:06 <warlord> In the importer you go through the transactions and map them to appropriate destination accounts.
11:57:29 <psymin> Ahh!
11:57:30 <psymin> I see
11:57:37 <psymin> thanks, the yellow screen lets me doubleclick
11:58:16 <psymin> gah, I need to do them one at a time, any way to group them?
12:00:04 <psymin> I can sort by memo, that helps a bit I guess
12:02:27 <warlord> In OFX/HBCI no.. they are done singly.. But if you turn on Bayesian Matching it will learn and auto-map them later.
12:03:01 <psymin> Ooo!
12:03:06 * psymin searches the menus for bayesian.
12:04:02 <warlord> Edit -> Preferences -> Import
12:05:25 <psymin> Edit -> Preferences -> Online Banking
12:05:27 <psymin> cool!
12:05:58 <psymin> so if I Import one month of data, set the accts properly .. then import the rest of the year .. it might assign some things properly?
12:09:24 <warlord> yep

13:30:30 <delaman> warlod: i can not find xaccTransAddSplit() documented here http://code.gnucash.org/docs/HEAD/group__Transaction.html , where is it?
13:54:45 <warlord> Sorry, use xaccSplitSetParent()
13:56:09 <warlord> xaccTransAppendSplit() is just a macro pointing to xaccSplitSetParent

14:53:42 *** carloscardona has joined #gnucash
14:53:59 <carloscardona> hello. Does gnucash also do inventory?
14:54:23 <warlord> no
14:54:57 <carloscardona> can you recommend a good open source accounting program that does inventory?
14:55:39 <warlord> I know of none.
14:55:48 <warlord> Note that Inventory != Accounting.
14:56:38 <carloscardona> but they are connected for a small business
14:58:25 <warlord> Connected, yes, but not necessarily something to do in the same applicationl.
14:58:39 <carloscardona> gotcha - thanks anyway
15:00:43 <warlord> If you have SMALL amounts of inventory you could kludge something with Stocks.
15:45:53 *** carloscardona has quit IRC
15:48:22 <psymin> is there a repository of custom user reports for gnucash somewhere?
15:59:15 <warlord> Nope. Pretty much any report that's donated gets into the release..
15:59:17 <warlord> pretty much
16:01:59 <psymin> neat
16:02:02 *** twunder has joined #gnucash
16:03:27 <twunder> how come I get e-mail on gnucash-user, but what I send doesn't make it to the list and I can't seem to unsubscribe?
16:03:59 <warlord> twunder: have you tried unsubbing via the website?
16:04:55 <twunder> warlord: I did before I went on vacation about 2 weeks ago. didn't seem to work. got the e-mails and replied and it /seemed/ to work. But I continued to get e-mail from the list
16:05:25 <warlord> maybe to a different address?
16:05:28 <twunder> at least one other user complained about not being able to unsub
16:05:56 <warlord> what url are you using to unsub?
16:06:31 <twunder> http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2009-August/030815.html
16:06:45 <twunder> https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user
16:07:07 <warlord> ok.. that's correct.. and what happens when you try?
16:08:18 <twunder> warlord: I get an e-mail requesting confirmation, to which I replied. Nonetheless, I kept getting list mail.
16:08:49 <warlord> Did you reply via email? or click on the link in the email?
16:08:58 <twunder> via e-mail
16:09:17 <twunder> did not click the link
16:09:26 <twunder> is that where I went wrong?
16:11:27 <warlord> Probably...
16:11:32 <twunder> anyhoo... I don't mind staying subscribed, but that still presents the problem of why my posts don't make it to the list (I replied to the unsubscribe not working thread and it hasn;t made it to the list after several days))
16:14:05 <warlord> Well, maybe you're subbed under two addresses? You unsubbed from one but not the other?
16:14:17 <warlord> and one had mail delivery turned off?
16:17:50 <twunder> not as far as I know. I've used the same address for quite some time now... Can't imagine being sub'd under two addresses.
16:19:09 <twunder> the list mail header has the address from which I tried to unsub
16:19:39 *** sjc has joined #gnucash
16:21:08 <psymin> I assume that I did something wrong with my import .. should a liability report look like this? http://people.montana.com/~psymin/gnucash.png
16:23:42 <psymin> .. ie: I assume liabilities should either be negative or positive .. not both :P
16:27:49 *** Zoolooc has joined #gnucash
16:31:34 <warlord> There are two accounts, the CC and Mortgage Loan. Perhaps you assigned one backwards?
16:32:06 <warlord> (it looks like the mortgage loan might be missing an opening balance?)
16:55:20 <psymin> warlord: that is true on the mortgage .. should it have a negative opening balance?
16:56:45 <warlord> Well, it should have an opening balance of the principal of the loan....
16:56:56 <warlord> and then your payments decrease that principal.
17:05:19 <psymin> cool, I'll do that ..

17:22:06 *** XiXaQ has joined #gnucash
17:26:03 <delaman> how do i find the "const GUID * guid" for this function http://code.gnucash.org/docs/HEAD/group__Account.html#gb83d5abc7634a35b657f5e202e121bd0 ??? i can not seem to find a function that will lookup an account by its name and return its respective guid

19:04:52 <warlord> delaman: xaccAccountGetGUID()
19:05:06 <delaman> warlord: thank you as always
19:05:14 <warlord> so you need to lookup the account by name, get the Account*, and then you can get its GUI
19:12:27 <delaman> warlord: in theory i know what to do but technically i dont know how to find an Account say "Sales", is there such a function? or do i have to loop through the accounts till i find the account with the name "Sales"?
19:13:10 <warlord> there's a lookup function.
19:13:46 <delaman> on what page? i dont seem to find it anywhere
19:14:46 *** Zoolooc has quit IRC
19:17:51 <warlord> The register uses a couple functions, but look at gnc_split_register_get_account_by_name()
19:17:59 <warlord> in src/register/ledger-core/split-register.c
19:18:05 <warlord> FYI: UTSL...

19:25:50 <tony> Two questions. #1 When joining reports together, is it possible to specify that each of the reports should start on a new page? #2 is it possible to adjust the printing margins?
