04:39:31 <mike5301> hello, everyone. i've just upgraded to gnucash 2.6.1 and noticed that it now shows currency name in front of account total without spaces on dashboard and in reports. it makes numbers hard to read ("руб6,000.00"). i didn't find anything to turn it off in preferences. does someone know how to show numbers only?

05:08:57 *** jimmio has joined #gnucash
05:11:19 <jimmio> I'm a newbie to accounting. Say I have a liability to someone of $20. When I add the liability, the funds come from Equity, correct? Then, if I make a payment on that, it comes from the Asset?
05:15:34 <mike5301> jimmio: are you starting a new database?
05:15:59 <jimmio> mike5301: Yeah, I've just started.
05:16:46 <mike5301> jimmio: then it makes sense
05:19:55 <mike5301> in future, when you take $20, you move from a liability account to an asset account. and when you give it back, you reverse the transaction. that's how it works for me
05:21:42 <jimmio> Okay, that makes sense for cash loans.. but for items.. you keep the item as an asset, so how does that play out?
05:23:28 <mike5301> you mean you take an item and you pay for it later?
05:23:45 <jimmio> Yes
05:24:29 <mike5301> in such cases i move cash from liability to expense account and after paying - from asset to liability
05:30:13 <jimmio> So, it stays in liability unmodified until completely paid off?
05:35:19 <mike5301> transactions should not be modified. you just add new transactions until it gets completely paid off and liability account gets zero balance
05:37:59 <mike5301> although, tracking partial payments of every single item in that way is a bit inconvenient when you have a lot of such items. maybe you should create subaccounts for such items, i dont know. maybe more experienced users can tell
05:55:26 <jralls> IRC's not the best place for complex explanations. The user list (gnucash-users@gnucash.org) is better. Study the Tutorial & Concepts Guide (http://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=2.6&lang=C&doc=guide) first, and consider getting an "Accounting 101" book.
