09:21:43 <Shinobi> warlord: thanks. What should a/r accounts be used for? They are a type of asset correct? I assume the system give some additional functionality for a/r type accounts.
09:22:12 <warlord> They should be used for Business -> invoices/bills
09:22:18 <warlord> and ONLY for those.
09:22:25 <Shinobi> thanks
09:28:11 <warlord> But yes, A/R is just an Asset subtype

13:50:36 <ari> Anyone know how to elegantly import info from a bank account?
13:50:45 <ari> I have a restaurant and am trying to figure out how to get our credit card deposits into GnuCash (as well as other info in the bank account).
13:51:07 <ari> Because the manual way is getting old..
13:57:28 <warlord> ari: depends on the banking organization.
13:58:04 <warlord> Many allow QIF or OFX download. Some offer OFX-DC
13:58:45 <warlord> Note,however, that if you just download/import from the bank then you are losing out on the ability to find a bank error.
14:02:17 <ari> Do you suggest doing it manually then?
14:02:37 <warlord> I guess it depends how many transactions you have.
14:02:45 <ari> In any event, if I import, how do I connect the bank information to the proper accounts?
14:02:50 <warlord> Me, I enter everything manually.
14:03:07 <warlord> you do it in the importer, mapping each txn to the proper income/expense account

14:36:44 <ari> Hm. Thanks, warlord. I'm wondering if I shouldn't find a way to do utilize the bank import since I'll be getting nightly deposits and quite a bit of other activity (checks written for some bills, auto-payment of other bills)
14:38:09 *** ari1 has quit IRC
14:41:34 <warlord> Obviously it's all up to you.
14:41:34 <warlord> Like I said, it depends on the # of txns you need to enter.
14:41:34 <warlord> In my case it's maybe 1/day.

16:02:43 <gp5st> hello! does anyone have any tips on how to handle my entering tx into gnucash being different from the date the bank accepts and clears it? it makes it very difficult to line things up and make sure I have everything (I share with my wife so I don't know her tx ahead of times sometimes)

21:23:27 <gp5st> how do you guys deal with the bank accounts being in vastly different order than the inputed transactions?
