07:21:51 <awol> Hi, I have a set of postings that I want to make but I cannot seem to get them right. One of the entries (an income entry) always seems to come wout with the wrong sign. What is the best way to express my set og postings for this list?

08:18:02 <l403> hello. would gnucash be able to work as a single cash register terminal in a restaurant?
08:24:31 <warlord> l403: gnucash isn't a POS system
08:25:00 <l403> what does POS stand for?
08:25:41 <warlord> Point of Sale
08:26:07 <l403> do you know of a project that would be able to serve this purpose?
08:27:41 <warlord> Not offhand. There used to be a GnuPOS project but I don't know if it's still around.
08:28:33 <l403> OK. Thank you and bye

20:00:01 *** roe_ has joined #gnucash
20:05:38 <roe_> when entering a new invoice, is there a way to get the 'Customer' field to auto fill-in as I type?
20:07:17 *** skyline has joined #gnucash
20:07:23 <skyline> Enter text here...hi
20:07:41 <skyline> anyone can help me out with accounting problem?
20:08:32 *** skyline has quit IRC
20:17:12 <shade304> roe_: not as far as I know, you just push the button beside customer and then type a few letters of the name and hit enter, it will present a list of names matching your search
20:18:07 <roe_> yea, I see that, an auto-fill would improve that work flow tremendously
20:18:42 <roe_> when I have some time I'll take a look at the 2.3 branch and see what has changed
20:19:19 <shade304> I wish the line items on invoices would auto fill!
20:19:42 <roe_> you mean the description field?
20:20:37 <shade304> yes
20:20:46 <roe_> I'm excited for 2.4 because with a read db engine we can work on integrating something like simple invoices with gnucash
20:20:50 <roe_> s/read/real
20:21:38 <roe_> we'll be able to use simple invoices (an invoicing package that better suits our needs) for invoicing while also using the power of gnucash for book keeping
20:22:10 <shade304> I don't know why they don't put more effort into importing and exporting everything, to me gnucash is awesome at double entry accounting, but when you try to make it a pim, or sales program it can't quite get it
20:23:08 <shade304> is that what you are using?
20:24:01 <roe_> 2.4 is going to have some very nice additions
20:24:16 <shade304> The best thing I ever did to improve workflow was to set up shortcut keys, if you can work without a mouse you can really get something done!
20:24:26 <roe_> that is key
20:24:41 <shade304> Ctl+N for new invoice, Ctl+B for new bill, ect..
20:24:48 <roe_> yea
20:34:34 <shade304> I'll wait till its ready, I saw something on the dev list about a large gnucash file getting truncated or something by the db, scarry@! I run real books, and hope they wait till everything is a little past perfect!
20:35:11 <shade304> but yes, I can't wait
20:35:34 <roe_> yea, don't think about using the unstable branch for any production data, but it is good to take it out for a spin and see how you like and if you can help make it better
20:45:28 <roe_> I accidentally marked an invoice as payed, when it isn't payed yet, do you know how to undo this?
21:04:34 *** shade304 has quit IRC
21:05:59 *** shade304 has joined #gnucash
21:07:12 <shade304> sorry I missed that, how did you mark it paid?
21:07:46 <roe_> used the 'process payment' button
21:08:06 <shade304> what version are you using
21:08:31 <shade304> on the reminder screen?
21:08:32 <roe_> 2.2.9
21:09:25 <shade304> pushing the process payment button opens a payment window with the vendor/bill/date/amount already filled out, is this what you see?
21:09:39 <roe_> yea
21:10:20 <shade304> you should find the transaction in the register for the account you used to receive the money or pay the bill
21:10:35 <roe_> ok
21:10:40 <shade304> right click it and "jump"
21:11:07 <shade304> then you should be in the AR or AP register on the line of the transaction, you can delete it there
21:11:55 <roe_> and that will mark the invoice as 'unpaid'?
21:12:02 <shade304> warlord could tell you more about what is going on underneath, he wrote that part
21:12:05 <shade304> yes
21:12:41 <shade304> I know you shouldn't edit those "business" transactions, just delete them and start over if they are messed up
21:12:44 <roe_> nice
21:12:53 <roe_> thanks for the tip
21:13:06 <shade304> but you can change the date on them
21:13:13 <shade304> no problem
