08:30:58 <warlord> linas: Possibly, possibly not. Depends on your definition of "attack". I usually only get about a dozen unique IPs a day attacking me.

14:26:34 <pcroque> Is there a simple way to change the customer on an invoice or should I just re-enter it (using 2.3.17 on linux)?
14:27:17 *** bentob0x has quit IRC
14:30:27 <warlord> pcroque: very simple. Click on the "Edit" button in the toolbar, then "Select Customer"
14:32:20 <pcroque> Thanks warlord. That is simple. I was clicking the Edit button next to the Customer Box (which wasn't working).
14:32:53 <warlord> Right, that wont work.
14:34:13 <pcroque> I'll try to remember for next time. Thanks again.
14:35:16 <warlord> You're welcome
14:46:55 <warlord> fell: remind me how far you are from FRA?

17:46:01 <adrigen> When I pay an invoice (first time), even though I enter the full amount in the 'amount' box. The transaction on the 'transfer account' has no figure for 'depost' can anyone imagine why?
17:51:46 <warlord> adrigen: currencies don't match?
17:52:34 <warlord> Check you Income, A/R, Bank (Transfer-To), and Customer currencies; they all must match
17:52:48 <adrigen> that would be it then.
17:53:01 <adrigen> well done!
17:53:30 <warlord> Come on, give me something *challenging*... ;-0
17:54:39 <adrigen> ok then. do I need to document this discovery and how?
17:55:56 <warlord> Document how? That requirement should already be documented in at least two places.
17:57:06 <adrigen> i was looking at http://code.gnucash.org/docs/guide/bus-ar-payment1.html might be too much info for there
17:58:45 <warlord> try the wiki/FAQ?
18:23:13 <warlord> anyways, I gotta run. Later, all.
18:23:15 *** warlord is now known as warlord-afk

18:44:48 <fell> warlord-afk: round 270 km or 3 hours
18:47:41 <Antisoche> Hello - I'm a bit confused about entering a receipt for a credit card purchase. The specific problem is that I want the receipt to apply to multiple expense accounts. I tried splitting the receipt at the credit card liability, entering each as a "buy". The expense showed up in the accounts as a split, but as a credit, and the balance in the credit card is 0.
18:48:50 <Antisoche> Oh - I see it - GNUCash created an account for me "Imbalance-USB". Odd. But that aside - is there a way to do what I'm trying to do in version 2.2.9?
18:49:01 <Antisoche> er, USD
18:52:03 <jsled> yes.
18:52:25 <jsled> if the Imbalance account is showing up, you're – to be blunt :) — doing it wrong.
18:52:38 <Antisoche> Got it straightened out...
18:52:49 <Antisoche> jsled: Yes, I knew that already. :)
18:52:51 <jsled> ah? good.
18:53:01 <jsled> http://code.gnucash.org/docs/guide/txns-registers1.html#txns-registers-multiaccount2 has some docs, to verify against, at least
18:53:47 <jsled> "credit" and "debit" can be counterintuitive in double-entry … better to enter transactions from the asset account, and use the "deposit"/"withdrawl" labels
18:54:03 <jsled> or, really, the columns lables from any register are more intuitive
18:54:15 <jsled> gotta run. hope it works out. cheers
18:54:19 <Antisoche> jsled: wait !
18:54:24 * jsled waits
18:54:36 <Antisoche> Where do I enter the split transaction?
18:54:48 <Antisoche> I tried doing it in the credit card account but got it backwards.
18:55:03 <Antisoche> Do I do it in Expense 'A' and add a split into Expense 'B' ?
18:55:45 <Antisoche> What I did kinda looks like the page you pointed out to me, except a credit card instead of a bank account.
18:55:57 <jsled> I suggest entering all transactions from either the Asset (checking/debit) or Liability/Credit-Card account register
18:56:14 <Antisoche> jsled: That's what I did. Was 'buy' the wrong label?
18:56:53 <Antisoche> (Don't let me keep you if you really have to run, but I appreciate the help)
18:57:03 <jsled> "buy"?
18:57:15 <Antisoche> Actions are: "ATM", "Buy", "Credit", "Fee" ... in the split view.
18:57:21 <jsled> Oh, forget about that action column.
18:57:34 <jsled> I mean, you can fill it out if you want, but it's basically advisory
18:58:06 <Antisoche> Would "Credit" be better? ... n/m - let me poke around a bit. I have more recipts to enter...
18:58:17 <jsled> In a Credit card register, the expense account will be in the "Tot Payment" column.
18:58:41 <jsled> well, the expense *account* will be in the transfer column; the amount will be in the payment column
18:58:58 <jsled> but, seriously, ignore the Action column. it's pretty much useless.
18:59:09 <Antisoche> hmm ... when the numbers look right in the accounts page, I've "Buy" action and the cost is in "Tot Payment".
18:59:22 <jsled> And the transfer account?
18:59:28 <Antisoche> Then the complete cost is in "Tot Charge".
18:59:32 <jsled> (the column to the left of the 'n')
18:59:39 <Antisoche> Transfer account is the Expense I want it to go to
18:59:45 <jsled> sounds right
19:00:07 <jsled> for the Tot charge, the transfer account should (automatically) be the credit card itself
19:00:11 <Antisoche> I probably called the thing I bought a "charge" instead of a "payment".
19:00:36 <Antisoche> Which sounds like the right thing for a credit card, but is apparently the opposite.
19:03:31 <jsled> yeah, the payment is what you pay, and the charge is to your card
19:03:41 <jsled> anyways, going now.
19:03:46 <jsled> good luck. :)
19:04:36 <Antisoche> thanks again

19:44:05 <linas> some gnucash trivia: web hits drop to a yearly low on Christmas week.
19:44:07 <linas> But ...
19:44:22 <linas> a yearly high the first two weeks after New Years
19:44:41 <linas> I'm guessing a lot of people make financial New-Years resolutions!
19:56:26 <Antisoche> Good thing 2.4 is almost released!
