10:58:43 <glovero> have you got any idea where we can find an advanced GnuCash user in Frankfurt whom we might hire when needed?
11:00:38 <glovero> there doesn't seem to exist a GnuCash user group here
11:04:40 <lmat> glovero: That would be me...
11:04:46 <lmat> glovero: Oh, do I *have* to live in frankfurt ?

15:56:37 <Ahmuck> hi. gnucash have a search and replace function for descriptions? my banks descriptions are awful and i'd like to replace them with human readable decscriptions
16:16:40 *** aqua___ has joined #gnucash
16:40:55 <warlord> Ahmuck: sorry, no.
16:47:56 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
17:15:35 *** KaiForce has quit IRC
17:27:26 <Ahmuck> is there a way to veiw account codes in general ledger view. ie, i have x amount of accounts at the same bank and viewing the account code allows me to properly categorize an expense account
17:28:31 <warlord> I do not believe there is a way to display account codes in the register, however you can still use them for data entry. (I don't use account codes personally so I have no experience with that)
17:44:48 <Ahmuck> k, i had some split transactions that acted wierd. eventually i deleted them from account A and assumed that account B had deleted them as well. but they are listed in account B
17:46:18 <warlord> It depends on how you deleted them. It's possible that it just created an Imbalance or Orphan account.
17:47:57 <Ahmuck> k, two accounts with the same name will not work in assets even though they have different account codes
17:48:22 <Ahmuck> which I would have expected them to work with the different account codes but having the same bank name
17:48:51 <warlord> Correct, you cannot have two sibling accounts with the same name.. That makes 0 sense.
17:49:30 <warlord> I dont think you understand how the hierarchy is supposed to work. It doesnt make sense to have two sibling accounts with the same name.
17:49:37 <Ahmuck> it makes sense. same name different account codes
17:49:44 <Ahmuck> same bank, different accounts
17:50:32 <warlord> Assets:BofA:Checking, Assets:BofA:Savings.. Assets:Wells Fargo:Checking, Assets:Wells Fargo:Savings, ...
17:50:43 <warlord> You're misusing account codes
17:50:45 <Ahmuck> checking account --> Bank MyMoney (2394832) + Bank MyMoney (883452)
17:51:06 <warlord> The account codes are meant as *ACCOUNTING* codes, not your actual account # with the bank
17:51:32 <Ahmuck> ok
17:51:50 <warlord> So you have multiple personal checking accounts with the same bank??
17:51:57 <Ahmuck> i thought that might be the case, as i did look it up on the internet and
17:52:03 <Ahmuck> yes
17:52:10 <warlord> Seriously?
17:52:14 <warlord> I've never heard of that.
17:52:30 <Ahmuck> personal checking for personal, personal checking for farming, personal checking for electronic withdrawals
17:52:33 <warlord> I've heard of e.g. a Checking, Savings, Money Market... But why would anyone have two checking accounts?
17:52:35 <Ahmuck> i'm special
17:53:27 <warlord> AHA! So Assets:Bank:Personal:Checking .... A:B:Farming:Checking, A:B:EW:Checking (although I don't understand why you need a special "Electronic withdrawal" account)
17:53:59 <Ahmuck> the special EW keeps me from ODing in personal
17:54:40 <warlord> So you literally have a special account for that? WEIRD..
17:55:14 <Ahmuck> i did have. plus multiple buisness accounts. one for income/withdrawals bills, one specifically for parts, etc.
17:55:27 <Ahmuck> gtg, need to pick up file folders
17:56:51 <warlord> weird. I've really never heard of anyone, ever, doing that.
17:57:03 <warlord> everyone keeps *virtual* accounts.
