03:28:32 <blathijs> Morning
03:41:48 <gour> morning blathijs
03:42:07 <gour> how is your scheme/guile report-hacking?

03:57:25 <blathijs> gour: I hacked in backtrace display for eguile templates yesterday
03:57:45 <gour> blathijs: hmm, pretty, isn't it?
03:58:02 <blathijs> took a bit of fiddling to get right, but it
03:58:07 <blathijs> 's pretty ok now
03:58:20 <blathijs> warlord-afk: Did you have a look at my backtrace patch, perhaps?
03:58:35 <blathijs> gour: And I've been working on a sales tax report, which gives an overview of the taxable and tax amounts for each tax table (entry)
03:58:56 <blathijs> which mostly works now
04:02:22 <gour> blathijs: do you consider it is something which average-joe (aka: end-user) can do to customize reports?
04:03:00 <blathijs> gour: What I've don right now isn't, but that's mostly because the eguile infrastructure isn't finished yet
04:03:20 <gour> blathijs: is anybody working on improving eguile?
04:03:29 <blathijs> gour: Dunno, me I guess
04:03:49 <gour> blathijs: so, you're providing some patches?
04:03:56 <blathijs> Given an existing report, it would be ok for an average-joe to change the layout. Adding extra information is slightly more tricky, since the API documentation is a bit hard to find your way around in
04:04:13 <gour> true
04:04:37 <blathijs> gour: I am planning on providing patches, yes
04:04:38 <gour> and even changing layout should be more html-friendly, imho

05:49:34 <blathijs> warlord-afk: Turns out splitting taxes per taxtable entry is not possible, since the tax values are returned in a AccountValue list, which aggregates per account
05:49:51 <blathijs> warlord-afk: So if two entries have the same account, they will be lumped together.
05:50:12 <blathijs> warlord-afk: I can still show the different accoutns per taxtable, which probably makes more sense anyway
06:27:53 <blathijs> warlord-afk: Hmm, it actually seems posting an invoice simply doesn't work when the invoice currency is different from the currency for the account that is used in one of the tax tables
06:29:34 <blathijs> warlord-afk: It does seem the invoice lines get locked from editing, even when the posting fails
06:30:07 <blathijs> Restarting gnucash helps for the last point

08:56:53 <warlord> blathijs: I'm not at all surprised about currency issues. The biz features all started single-currency.
08:57:03 <warlord> (remember, I did it for myself. I only work in USD)
08:57:21 <warlord> as for the line locks on failed posting -- I'm not sure what that means.
08:59:02 <warlord> (and no, I have not looked at your patch)
09:01:16 <blathijs> warlord: When you post an invoice, you can't edit the entries in the invoice anymore
09:02:03 <blathijs> warlord: In this particular case, the invoice wasn't posted (the post button was still available and unpost grayed out), but I couldn't edit the entries either
09:03:35 <warlord> Right, the first statement is a feature. I understand that. It's the latter part I don't understand. How did the posting "fail"?
09:10:20 <blathijs> Dunno, no error message, it just didn't work
09:10:35 <blathijs> 12:27:53 < blathijs> warlord-afk: Hmm, it actually seems posting an invoice simply doesn't work when the invoice currency is different from the currency for the account that is used in one of the tax tables
09:10:41 <blathijs> In that case, I meant

09:42:10 *** ErKa has quit IRC
09:50:20 <warlord> Oh.
09:50:43 <warlord> Yeah, that was not supported originally, and probably still isn't. Why would you use different currencies for taxes and the invoice itself?
09:55:36 <gour> warlord: have a nice holiday in eu ;)
09:57:52 <warlord> gour: thanks!
10:05:06 <blathijs> warlord: To test my report, of course! :-p
10:05:56 <warlord> Ih
10:05:57 <warlord> Oh
10:06:22 <blathijs> I wanted to see what happend with multiple currencies for a single tax table. Now it seems that my report nicely handles them, but it'll never occur :-)
10:12:51 <warlord> Okay..

22:00:39 <hasnainj> Hi, I am working on setting up gnucash (stable version) for a small biz in Australia. I'd really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction for GST/Tax setup. Initial search resulted this link http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2009-April/029189.html
22:00:44 <hasnainj> can anyone confirm this?
22:05:29 *** charles has joined #gnucash
22:06:10 <charles> hello?
22:12:09 <warlord> hasnainj: There are a number of GST/Tax sources. Also try the Wiki/FAQ
22:12:21 <warlord> charles: don't meta-ask, just ask.
