09:30:09 *** bentob0x has quit IRC
09:30:34 <znoG> warlord: basically I fire up gnucash and gnucash-bin appears in the process list, but the program doesn't actually fire up.
09:30:54 <warlord> what OS/Distro?
09:31:12 <znoG> win box... XP Pro SP2

09:59:34 <klest> Hi people, I have a strange problem with gnucash: the "cashflow" report does not see some of my expenses. Namely it seems to me that it does not want to take into account the transactions imported today from Quicken files. Any help?
10:11:58 <klest> I added an expense by hand to check whether the "cash flow" will see it : it is OK, it takes the hew expense into account, but the imported ones are not shown still

10:56:22 <warlord> klest: saw your question the first time -- no need to re-post it.
10:56:45 <warlord> klest: what's the date on the imported transaction? the date on the report? and what account(s) are in the imported txns?
10:57:00 <warlord> znoG: Do you get the splash screen?
10:57:09 <warlord> znoG: and is it still running?
10:57:14 <warlord> or does it just die..
10:57:58 *** RobotCow has joined #gnucash
11:03:00 <klest> warlord: the date is 14 and 18 sept. the cash flow report is from 10 sept to 19 sept. to get the cash flow I selected all the accounts
11:03:17 <klest> (I mean in the "cashflow options"
11:08:43 <warlord> ALL accounts? That's why it wont show up.
11:09:03 <warlord> Cash Flow report only shows transactions that cross the border into or out of the set of selected accounts.
11:09:12 <warlord> Try a P&L / Income Statement
11:11:02 <klest> warlord: hmm however when I select "all accounts" and the dates 8 august -- today it gives me a lot of transactions, presumably all what I have did in the earlier period ( I was not importing any Quicken files before)
11:12:30 <klest> among these transactions there are definitely ones which goes in an out selected accounts
11:12:46 <warlord> klest: Did you properly assign the imported transactions to the correct income/expense accounts?
11:13:46 <klest> warlord: yes. I have checked the imported transactions
11:15:12 <warlord> Open your bank account register -- do you see all the transaction in there?
11:16:30 <klest> yes I do
11:17:03 <klest> the thing is very strange indeed - even if I select just one account for the cash flow option
11:17:24 <klest> it does not want to show the transaction which is clearly registered in this account
11:18:23 <warlord> Can you show a screen shot of the account, and then a screen shot of the report (and report options)? You can use imagebin
11:19:10 <klest> could you give me the address where I could paste the screenshot? - thanks

11:22:57 *** klest has joined #gnucash
11:23:09 <klest> sorry- got disconnected.
11:23:35 <warlord> Like I said, imagebin
11:23:38 <klest> warlord: I will paste the screenshot if you tell me the adress of the web page
11:23:44 <warlord> either imagebin.ca, imagebin.org, ...
11:24:00 <klest> ok, trying

11:34:05 <klest> warlord: http://imagebin.org/64474
11:34:48 <klest> http://imagebin.org/64475
11:35:01 <warlord> thanks. i'll look shortly..
11:35:45 <klest> warlord: the funny thing that in the report the accounts in questions are mentioned, but the transactions are said to be 0
11:36:33 <warlord> Oh, the imported txns are 0?
11:36:47 <warlord> Well, that would explain why they don't show up in the cash flow!
11:36:54 <klest> that is what the cash flow reprt says
11:36:56 <warlord> Maybe a currency issue.... WHat version of gnucash?
11:37:14 <klest> the account register displays them correctly, just have a look plesa\ase
11:38:17 <klest> warlord: the version is definitely rather recent since I have installed lenny (debian) about two months ago. the currency is always euros
11:38:34 <warlord> * loading *
11:39:10 <warlord> I think debian only has 2.2.6 -- latest stable is 2.2.9 (debian hasn't updated in a few releases)
11:39:42 <klest> 1 sec I will check it
11:40:02 <klest> yes 2 2 6
11:40:35 <warlord> Don't select 'Expenses' in 'selected accounts'.
11:40:39 <warlord> Use the default Cash Flow report settings.
11:41:44 <warlord> Also, what's the account-type of the current (open) account?
11:42:35 <klest> the type is "asset"
11:44:25 <warlord> Okay.. So go back to the standard (default) cash flow...
11:44:37 <klest> well now I did not select "expenses" the result is "money from selected accounts comes from Money In 0.00 --
11:44:46 <klest> and the same for Money Out
11:44:56 <klest> that is, this makes the report only worse
11:45:09 <warlord> That means your accounts aren't set up right.
11:45:20 <klest> defaults is USDs which is not good for me
11:45:23 <warlord> Did you create your accounts by hand or use a pre-defined account hierarchy?>
11:45:41 <warlord> Ah, that could be it, too...
11:45:55 <klest> OK, many thanks for the advice!
11:46:10 <warlord> Change the report currency to EUR?
11:46:35 <klest> these are not defaults
11:47:15 <klest> anyway these gives just ) money in and 0 money out
11:47:20 <klest> 0*
11:47:24 <warlord> What about the P&L Report?
11:48:35 <warlord> (called "INcome Statement" in 2.2.6)
11:48:50 <klest> warlord: just one second. The thing is that the cash flow report worked perfectly just yesterday, before I started importing quicken's. It gave me for every account the money in and money out. all was OK.
11:50:03 <warlord> Sounds like a currency problem from the import. I'm pretty sure there were QIF Importer bugs fixed in later versions of 2.2.x
11:51:33 <klest> yes income statement is fine, I used it some time ago. But it does not sum up the expenses; so that I see all the accounts in the placeholder separately, but not the sum ... let me check if it sees the imported txns
11:52:45 <klest> yes it does :) thanks for the reminder - at least this tool works
11:56:17 <klest> Oh it is possible to get the sobtotals also. OK i m happy with it
