12:16:31 <djMax> What was the theory behind the Reimbursed Expenses Income account? Wouldn't it be better to have an expense account per employee?
12:35:54 <warlord> Theoretically the Expense Voucher system can keep track of which employee an expense is tied to, so you dont need sep accts.

14:58:37 <thomas> Hello. I would like to print 'Job Name' on invoices - from billing information. I have made a custom invoice, but I can't find an interface to the data. It seems I can get the Name from the Jobb, but I can't get the Job from the Invoice. Where do I look?
14:59:07 <warlord> An invoice can have multiple jobs associated with it.
14:59:26 <warlord> Note that this code already exists; you can print the 'references' which can have multiple job references on the invoice.
15:03:46 <thomas> I'm on 2.2.6. I looked into gncIncoice.c and there the structure has a single pointer to a GncJob. Am I looking at the wrong thing?
15:04:16 <warlord> Well, 2.2.9 is the latest stable.
15:04:37 <thomas> OK
15:06:35 <warlord> I see no reference to "Job" in gncInvoice.h. The owner could be a job.
15:11:12 *** daedeloth has joined #gnucash
15:15:05 *** nomeata has joined #gnucash
15:16:33 <warlord> But... depending on how you create the invoice it's certainly possible that there are multiple jobs tied to the line-items.
15:20:02 <thomas> I think I understand. from invoice I can get owner, and because the owner type may be job, I could in that case get job, and from there get name. I'll try it.
15:20:21 <warlord> Right.
15:23:15 <thomas> Sorry, I just read your previous response. I don't know any way to get a job tied to a line-item. The only interface I see is when I edit or make a new incoice.
15:24:44 <warlord> It can get tied via a chargeback from a vendor bill.
15:28:01 <warlord> (I think)
15:28:06 <warlord> ... maybe not.
15:28:29 <warlord> it's been SO long since I've had my head down in that code... And I know there's at least one bug in the chargeback functionality.
15:29:40 <thomas> OK. It may not apply to me ( I've just started - QB refugee ). Let me ask this... If I pick a job when the invoice is opened , with that information be stable, regardless of what happens with the line items?
15:30:30 <warlord> it should...
15:33:59 <thomas> OK. I only do service work, so I probably won't run into a chargeback anyway. I don't even know what it is. I'll give it a try. ( by the way, 2.2.9 looks the same in this regard. ) Thanks.
15:44:28 <warlord> Yes, it probably is the same in this regard. Just pointing out that 2.2.6 isn't current.

16:16:55 *** daedeloth has quit IRC
16:19:39 <thomas> OK. It works.. gncInvoiceGetOwner followed by gncOwnerGetName gives it to me. Thanks very much.

16:30:57 <warlord> You're welcome.

20:19:02 <mfwitten> Is, say, the `Bank' account type new or did I just miss it before? I've got things like bank accounts labeled as assests and under an asset hierarchy that looks like "Assets/Banks/Bank Name/Checking". What's the value of using the `Bank' type?
20:20:22 <mfwitten> Similarly, I have my credit card labeled as a Liability (I consider it a loan). What's the virtue of using type "Credit Card"?
20:21:42 <warlord> It's been there for a LONG time. The only real benefit is the register labels.
20:23:26 <mfwitten> warlord: The `ATM' and so on in the split version of the register?
20:24:10 <mfwitten> warlord: Chances are I didn't see the point and was infatuated with the idea of thinking of these things as assets and liabilities.
20:26:04 * warlord shrugs
20:26:25 <warlord> The labels of things like "deposit" and "withdrawal"?
20:26:37 <mfwitten> oh
20:26:58 <mfwitten> Hmmmm... I'm having dejavu; I wonder if I was here asking the same thing a while back.
20:27:01 * mfwitten checks logs
20:30:29 <mfwitten> Well, I don't seem to have anything saved here; it's probably on another computer.
20:30:42 <mfwitten> warlord: Anyway, thanks for pretty much ALWAYS being available :-)
20:33:31 <warlord> LOL. You're welcome.

23:58:47 <mezimezim> hi there!
23:59:01 <mezimezim> I am unable to export a report to HTML?
23:59:27 <mezimezim> it is created, but I can't view it in a browser...
23:59:32 <mezimezim> is this a current bug?
