18:44:48 <indigo> is there a reason my biweekly paycheck SX sometimes says it will happen not the every-other-friday for which i scheduled it?
18:48:17 <indigo> it looks like it happens a day before whatever days i schedule it
18:48:26 <indigo> according to the calendar in the SX editor, anyway.

20:52:44 <Teridon> Hi, I'm a new gnucash user and I'm confused what I should be doing for expenses like Insurance and utilities. Paying it is easy -- just a transfer from checking to the applicable account. But how do I show the charges from the company?
20:53:25 <Teridon> e.g. for auto insurance they charge me, say, $1500 every 6 months, then I make monthly payments until the balance is zero.
20:53:32 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
20:53:37 <warlord> indigo: timezone change?
20:54:38 <warlord> Teridon: you could do it as a liability, but then it would show the $1500 expense once instead of $1500/6 6 times
21:09:10 *** cortana has quit IRC
21:14:40 <kpreid> liability account seems like exactly the right thing to me
21:16:50 <warlord> Well, I wouldn't quite call it "right".. Like I said, it means you book the expense all at once, so your Income Statement will show $1500 in January instead of $250 each month
21:17:32 *** Jimraehl has left #gnucash
21:18:59 <Teridon> Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried setting up a new liability account, with opening balance transferred from the existing Expense account. That seems to work, I guess. Payments will now go from checking to the liability, with the balance approaching zero. It's a little odd, yes, that the expense appears all at once.
21:19:12 <Teridon> But overall it makes more sense to me :)
21:20:18 <Teridon> a little complicated, perhaps, to have to setup two accounts for one thing
21:21:57 *** fbond has quit IRC
21:23:41 <warlord> Well, it's not one thing -- you want to accrue the payments to the expense..
21:23:47 <warlord> So, technically it is two things.
21:26:30 <Teridon> True. I think the default account setup added to my confusion though. It setup just one expense account for the auto insurance -- no liability account. And the documentation doesn't really cover it, unless I just couldn't find it...
21:28:00 <Teridon> but I guess not everyone wants it to work like I do... it may make sense for them to just make payments to an expense account, and not worry about a balance
21:28:11 <warlord> No, it's not really covered there, because what you want to do isn't really standard.
21:28:19 <warlord> exactly.
21:28:31 <warlord> Most people don't care about the outstanding balance, just how much they've paid.
21:29:10 <Teridon> I like seeing zero balances after I make payments (or at least, progress towards zero...)
21:29:27 <Teridon> Is that weird? :)
21:31:23 <warlord> Kinda ;)
21:31:26 <Teridon> heh
21:33:54 <Teridon> oh, thank you very much for your help. :)
21:36:21 <warlord> you're welcome.
