08:49:46 <raleightile> could the pay bills reminder showing when you start gnucash be confused?
09:01:11 *** jpetersen has quit IRC
09:05:18 <warlord> define "confused"
09:05:28 <warlord> If your data is correct then it wont be confused.
09:07:34 <warlord> (of course if you put in bogus data it wont read it correctly)
09:31:37 <raleightile> I'll check the data before drawing conclusions :)
09:32:42 <warlord> okay...

10:45:23 *** e-ndy has quit IRC
11:01:55 <raleightile> I have a vendor bill for $280, I paid the bill from my checking account with a debit card, and requested a receipt
11:02:15 <raleightile> Today I get the receipt and they changed the amount to $279.65
11:02:38 <warlord> Heh!
11:02:47 <raleightile> so I deleted the payment, and then unposted the bill, changed the freight, and Reposted
11:02:57 <warlord> ok
11:03:33 <raleightile> Now when I process the payment, it still shows the previous 2 bills not paid, and when I select the current bill it auto fills in $280
11:04:00 <raleightile> I know I can manually change it to 279.65, but why does the old amount show up?
11:04:04 <warlord> Did you pay the previous two bills?
11:04:25 <warlord> Umm... I dont know -- it sounds like the unpost/repost didn't work correctly?
11:04:38 <warlord> how did you "change the freight"?
11:04:47 <warlord> Look at the re-posted invoice? What does it say?
11:05:16 <raleightile> yes, the previous bills were paid, and really shouldn't have been related
11:05:39 <raleightile> the freight was a line item, and i changed the amount
11:05:40 <warlord> But if they are showing up as unpaid.... That implies you have some payment issues in your A/P account.
11:07:04 <raleightile> something, a vendor report may shed some light, it shows $0 total due, but .35 0-30, 0 31-60, 0 61-90, and $133.15 in 91+ days
11:12:36 *** fDavid has quit IRC
11:17:50 <warlord> raleightile: if you look at your A/P account you might find a bunch of 'auto-balance-forward' txns... Looks like you might have modified a payment transaction by hand post Process-Payment?
11:32:00 <raleightile> for sure my A/P is full of auto-balance-forward
11:33:45 <raleightile> I didn't deliberately, but reconciling checking accounts, I may have mistakenly edited something
11:34:21 <raleightile> what should I do, delete all transactions in AP for that vendor and re-enter?
11:35:54 <warlord> Yep.. And make sure you delete all those a-b-f txns for that vendor too
11:36:22 <warlord> (and then just re-reconcile to the last reconciliation date so you can re-reconcile those txns you're deleting)
11:44:33 <raleightile> do the biz feature write only to the a/p and asset registers?
11:44:49 <raleightile> or is there something secret going on behind the scenes
11:47:10 <warlord> There's secret stuff going on behind the scenes, which is why you cannot enter or modify the txns by hand

21:18:57 *** agentbob has joined #gnucash
21:19:30 <agentbob> hey all, i'm trying to import ofx files for the first time... and 99% of the transactions are being imported as posted on dec 31, 1969
21:19:56 <agentbob> when i check the file in a text editor.. the dates all seem to be formatted exactly the same as the one record per file that imports correctly...
21:20:21 <agentbob> anyone know what causes this/how to fix it?
