08:49:01 <MAbeeTT> Hello everybody, I am searching for a Libre tool for invoice and project management.
08:49:55 <MAbeeTT> We are a group, the gruop has projects, each project has a budget.
08:51:19 <MAbeeTT> in the group there is a "leader", each member buys with the invoice information of the group, then changes money for invioces with the "leader", the "leader" do the same in a office.
08:52:02 <MAbeeTT> Whe need to track how much has spend each member for knowin the project status.
08:52:52 *** fell has joined #gnucash
08:52:52 *** gncbot sets mode: +o fell
08:52:58 <MAbeeTT> and wwe need to track the invoices "path", I mean, where started, where is know, where wuill be finally (project)
08:54:12 <MAbeeTT> As I am just an engineering student graduated from a technical school I am asking you.
08:54:15 <MAbeeTT> Thanks.
08:57:58 <MAbeeTT> Well My questions: How is called the system/feature that I need? Will be gnucash apropiate? Is there some other tool?
09:12:07 *** aqua___ has quit IRC
09:13:55 <gjanssens> MAbeeTT: I'm not sure I really understand what you want to achieve
09:14:30 <gjanssens> GnuCash can handle invoices, but I don't understand what you mean with "where started, where is now, where will be finally"
09:14:49 <MAbeeTT> I am not sure I really write what i think in english :P (I am spanish speaker).
09:15:03 <fell> The documents or the involved costs?
09:16:16 <fell> Perhaps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_accounting or http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contabilidad_de_gesti%C3%B3n can help you
09:18:13 <MAbeeTT> I could explain what we are using now.
09:19:12 <MAbeeTT> Now I have a spreadsheet, there I load invoices, cost, item, project.
09:20:14 <MAbeeTT> when I change money for invoices, I load the money.
09:21:16 <MAbeeTT> Who givesme the money Is another person who does the same than me. He loads in his spreadsheet cost, item, project.
09:22:57 <MAbeeTT> then he groups all the invoices for project. And goes to the "project office" and changes money for invoices.
09:24:34 <fell> (get's reimbursed)
09:24:38 <MAbeeTT> fell: in my hand the documents, in the software the information written in the documents. "¿Who has XYZ this invoice?"
09:26:14 <MAbeeTT> The mechanism could bhe used for "traveling expenses".
09:27:00 <MAbeeTT> fell: thanks. Sorry for my english. :(
09:27:40 <fell> None of us currently talking is a native english. ;-)
09:30:33 <fell> As far as I understand project member A buys something and gets reimbursed by it's project accountant, which again gets reimbursed by the office?
09:31:07 <MAbeeTT> exactly!
09:32:28 <fell> And you wish to do the accounting for the project or the office?
09:33:22 <MAbeeTT> the project accountant is an «engineer» but only he gets reimbursed by the office wihch actually has an accountant.
09:35:00 <MAbeeTT> I am not interested in the office, I am interested in the projects, whe need to know the project status. Does the X project have credit?
09:35:11 *** lmat has joined #gnucash
09:35:18 <MAbeeTT> there is more than one project.
09:37:58 <MAbeeTT> the problem is that the office accountant "manages" so many projects and the says «well, don't bother me» come here for reimbursing three times a year (as an example).
09:39:06 <fell> Your team has one or more projects?
09:39:12 <MAbeeTT> So, our "hub engineer" needs to know the project's status, becaouse we could be spending more than the budget.
09:39:22 <MAbeeTT> fell: more than one.
09:39:59 <MAbeeTT> and each person in the team could buy for more than one project.
09:40:32 * MAbeeTT . o O ( this seems an excercise at the university :P )
09:45:49 <fell> So your account hierarchy should have nodes for the different projects: Project1:Material, ... TravelingCost,Project2:Material,...
09:48:50 <fell> http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contabilidad_de_costes might give you some clue.
09:50:01 *** benoitg has joined #gnucash
09:51:04 <MAbeeTT> the links in english are fine for me. I forgot many things in english because of studing a 3rd language. Thanks
09:51:09 * MAbeeTT reading...
09:57:03 <MAbeeTT> and the information of the members' accounts?
09:59:07 <MAbeeTT> I mean Ariel has spent $Y, how much the main engineer have to reimburse him?
09:59:43 <MAbeeTT> The system should add the invoices not reimbursed to each member...
10:01:45 <fell> Inside gnucash: Business->Employee
10:03:44 <fell> It works similar as in http://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_bus_ar.html described.
10:08:28 <MAbeeTT> ok, gnucash will be apropiated for our use.
10:09:44 <fell> :-)

12:14:59 <jimvideo> Good. Finally was able to set Commando Firewall to let me run HexChat.
12:32:45 <mlq> Short question: If I go to Reports > Assets & Liablities > Advanced Portfolio it tells me that "No accounts selected". If I go to 'Edit report options' > Accounts > Select All and then press "OK" or "Apply" it does not change anything. GnuCash is 2.6.2 - Am I missing something?

13:51:21 <gjanssens> mlq: there's a bug in the account selection widget
13:51:35 <gjanssens> Select all will only select the account currently expanded.
13:51:54 <gjanssens> So you may have to manually expand all accounts and then choose select all
13:56:03 <fell> gjanssens: Version/OS? I have no issues with 2.6.3 on suse.
