00:52:59 <Simpleton> Back :) I think I got my worse problems solved
00:54:17 <Simpleton> still... Is it normal that the reports do not show whether a number is negative or positive?

13:18:58 <nijm> Is there any way to schedule a payment so it either happens on the date you specify, or if that date is on a weekend the transaction either occurs on the Friday or the Monday?
13:19:12 <nijm> This is how I get paid and how my direct debit bills work.

15:24:07 <nijm> Sorry, my connection crapped out there. Does anybody know how to make scheduled transactions appear before or after the weekend if the date they should be created for is Saturday or Sunday?
15:26:21 <kimmo> not that I know of
15:27:12 <kimmo> that would be kind of silly too, considering the wide differences in the logic in that + different holidays in different countries
15:28:26 <kimmo> e.g. in Finland, certain types of bills are due latest on the due date (so if it's sunday, you gotta pay it by friday), whereas most are due on the date of the first bank day afterwards
15:45:05 <fbond_> Hello. I'm trying to record mileage expenses that I will be reimbursed for. I saw a message on -users list, but all suggestions appear to inflate expenses.
15:45:30 <fbond_> I've decided to transfer expenses from "Equaity:Mileage" to "Assets:Loans:Business Expenses".
15:45:39 <fbond_> Is it really wrong to use Equity for this purpose?
15:54:16 *** daedeloth has quit IRC
16:04:25 <nijm> kimmo: It seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to write something that let you specify whether to pay it on on the closest bank day before or after the date specified. I might try writing a patch. Are you a dev by any chance?
16:05:55 <Mer|in> there's holidays to consider too
16:06:45 <Mer|in> but you should be able to have a defined set of "blackout" days and enter on the prior available date
16:08:57 *** Mer|in_ has joined #GnuCash
16:09:39 <Mer|in> the logic shouldn't be that bad, really..check if the sx date falls on a blacked out day..if so retry with the previous day
16:10:43 <Mer|in> and allow those days to be configured for international support
16:12:06 <Mer|in> and for fbond_'s case, allow a configuration option to increment the date instead of decrement
16:12:40 <Mer|in> but personally, i'd rather have the payment go through sooner rather than later regardless of the actual billing due date.
16:13:12 <nijm> I need that too. Bills tend to come out on the next bank day, but I get paid on the previous bank day if pay day is during the weekend.
16:16:09 <Mer|in> so the option for whether it should go through before or after would really need to be specific to the schedule
16:17:01 <Mer|in> but the list of "blackout" days should be defined at the application level
16:17:09 <Mer|in> bbl - time for steak

21:01:13 <Simpleton> hello :) I still don't know why my gnucash doesn't clearly distinguishes negatives from positives in the reports and the bottom bar of the accounts window, although it shows them in red n the registers and all else.
21:01:42 <Simpleton> I'm 2.3.5 on windows

22:09:10 <shade304> I have a customer with a negative balance of $9.53
22:09:34 <shade304> my receivable aging report shows the negative balance
22:09:48 <shade304> We gave the refund from petty cash
22:10:24 <shade304> how could i get the customer balance to reflect the payment from petty cash?
22:10:59 <shade304> I tried to transfer, but I don't know where the customer accounts are

22:38:11 <warlord> shade304: You'll need to create an invoice from Petty Cash to balance it out.
22:38:36 <warlord> you can't manually enter an invoice.
22:53:08 *** localhost has quit IRC
22:59:00 *** localhost has joined #gnucash
23:03:25 <shade304> Post the invoice to Petty Cash?
23:05:14 <warlord> yes
23:05:28 <warlord> well, the line item account is petty cash. still 'post' to AR
23:06:40 <shade304> On the invoice I can only change the line to "Income" type accounts
23:06:54 <shade304> Is there a register that I have to edit manually?
23:07:25 <warlord> only income accounts are listed, but you can still hand-enter Assets accounts. It'll accept it.
23:10:42 <shade304> It says the account does not exist would you like to create it
23:10:44 <shade304> Assets:Current Assets:Petty Cash
23:11:46 <shade304> is it the spaces messing it up?
23:12:12 <shade304> Assets:Current\ Assets:Petty\ Cash
23:14:09 <warlord> No, spaces are allowed.
23:14:26 <warlord> But make sure you type it correctly...
23:19:33 *** localhost1 has joined #gnucash
23:23:45 <shade304> I did a copy and paste
23:24:40 <shade304> if i just enter assets it says you cannot use an asset account, then when I ad the : it says the count does not exist would you like to add an account
23:24:44 *** localhost has quit IRC
23:24:56 <shade304> can i just change it in the register?
23:26:00 <warlord> no, not in an invoice.
23:26:33 <warlord> Hmmmm... it should let you use an asset for a customer invoice.. *ponders*
23:48:32 <shade304> im using 2.2.9
23:56:45 <warlord> sorry, I need to head to bed. long day tomorow.
23:56:47 *** warlord is now known as warlord-afk
