00:32:17 <benbergman> I'm wanting to have a transaction occur on the first of each month automatically for every sub-account within a liability account
00:33:07 <benbergman> these sub-accounts will come and go, so I need the automatic transaction to automatically apply to all the sub-accounts present in the parent liability account at the time of the transactions
00:33:11 <benbergman> is this possible?
00:39:28 <benbergman> I'm okay with using an external tool if necessary

03:21:37 <Sleep> Accounting Question: For an LLC which passes it's earnings onto the members and each member is individually taxed, what account do I create in GnuCash to offset the debit (or is it credit?) to the checking account?

08:58:50 <fell> David417: Not a problem here.
09:02:07 <gjanssens> Same here
09:05:15 <David417> This time I got in. I am having an issue creating a reinvestment of a dividend transaction in release 2.4.13. I started from a memorized transaction which had been created from a previous transaction that appeared to be correct. The new transaction should have a different dividend amount. When I work in the security account I can change the amount for the security and income accounts but...
09:05:16 <David417> ...when I save the transaction and go to the parent account the amounts are wrong. This repeated when I carefully tried to create a new transaction from scratch
09:06:47 <David417> the amounts are also wrong when viewed from the income account
09:07:58 *** jmd has joined #gnucash
09:09:14 <David417> This problem pops up from time to time but in the past I finally got a correct transaction before I figured out what weas going wrong
09:10:58 *** jmd has quit IRC
09:15:44 <David417> I have not deleted the first try that was bad before trying a new transaction from scratch. Now I will try deleting it before creating a new one.
09:20:37 *** himaxx has joined #gnucash
09:21:29 <David417> OK, by scrupulously avoiding filling in the description or memo fields I finally got a good transaction.
09:24:56 <David417> is it normal to need to fill in those fields after building and saving the transaction?
09:26:10 <David417> Would this be any different in release 2.6.2?

09:42:32 <David417> How can an un-balanced split transaction get accepted in the first place?
09:43:12 <David417> Isn't there a test for that in the code?

11:41:27 <circ-user-2XnSr> Good morning (Pacific Time). 1st time user. I've been trying to import data for the first time to a checking account using QIF format. Gnucash creates a new account within the account list for every transaction instead of suggesting an existing account. This behavior baffles me. What am I missing?

14:27:46 <jralls> gjanssens: Geert, I've taken a look at the 2.4.2 tag. It's not just the tag that's off-tree, it's the whole commit. The version in master is back to 2.6.1.
14:28:44 <jralls> Looks like Christian somehow managed to munge his local repo, maybe by using the git-update script, and then pushed the result.
14:30:04 <jralls> We're going to have to rebase master onto 2.6.2 and force-push. That will probably require manual intervention to carry the force-push through to github.

19:33:00 <ubergoober> Afternoon, folks. I'm a first time user of Gnucash. I'm on 2.6.1, trying to import QIF. When I do this, it wants to create a new account for each and every transaction based on the Description field (3rd). I expected it to allow me to choose the account I want, but when I double click the transaction, and put in something like Expenses:House Repair, it structures a sub account under the Description found in the record. What am I missing?
19:35:29 <ubergoober> So, given a line from the QIF file that looks like this:
19:35:30 <ubergoober> DEBIT,01/13/2014,"SHELL Service Station BELLVUE WA 041525 01/12",-42.64,
19:36:00 <ubergoober> I get an account name of SHELL Service Station BELLEVUE WA...."
19:36:12 <ubergoober> Not very useful.
19:36:41 <ubergoober> I am assuming I'm doing something incorrectly, or my QIF file is not structured properly.
19:44:40 <jralls> That's not a well-formed QIF item: Each line should start with a code declaring what field it represents. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QIF.
