04:18:27 <gjanssens> mikee: I saw you commit and comment for bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734168
04:18:30 <gjanssens> (Enable Tax Invoice to handle bills)
04:19:06 <gjanssens> Which reminds me I wanted to ask you what use case do you have to open the tax invoice report on a bill ?
04:25:22 <mikee> I've set it as my default invoice so when I create a bill, to account for purchases I can open in the same way as I open an invoice, via the business menu, rather than going throught the reports menu
04:26:00 <mikee> It's just quicker, save a couple of mouse clicks.
04:27:25 <mikee> The standard invoices work the same.
04:30:40 <mikee> Easier to just hit the print button when I have a bill open.
04:31:21 *** MechtiIde has quit IRC
04:44:28 <mikee> gjanssens: I've just noticed I've left a couple of line endings with ;' in there. These were to make geany colour context properly.
04:49:33 <gjanssens> mikee: thanks for the explanation
04:50:08 <gjanssens> I had noticed before as well the tax invoice was not available for bills but figured it didn't make sense to print a bill
04:51:27 <gjanssens> I can't think of an argument for preventing it either, so your change is obviously fine
04:52:10 <gjanssens> And it does indeed make it work if you set it as default for printing
05:05:42 <mikee> gjanssens: I'm also working on a format to match the standard e-bay layout, with the peel of label.

05:09:55 <gjanssens> mikee: as a new report or rather as a custom css file for the tax invoice ?
05:11:08 <mikee> As a new report.
05:11:42 *** aqua___ has joined #gnucash
05:11:57 <mikee> Then there's EDI invoicing...
05:26:07 <mikee> gjanssens: I can't get the layout I need using just the CSS. Although once the scm is modified the CSS should be able to format either/both
05:28:17 <gjanssens> Great
05:28:27 <gjanssens> EDI would be a very good addition too
05:29:32 <mikee> gjanssens: It would, I wasn't offering to do it though. :)
05:30:00 <gjanssens> Oh :( Misunderstood that one
05:30:21 <gjanssens> Back to the tax invoice report
05:30:40 <mikee> OK
05:30:46 <gjanssens> So you're creating a new report to do ebay style invoices
05:31:15 <gjanssens> And the new report can handle both traditional style and ebay style by using different css ?
05:31:23 <gjanssens> Is that what you mean ?
05:31:27 <mikee> It's just layout to fit the paper.
05:32:00 <mikee> The scm file needs editing to make the CSS work.
05:32:21 <mikee> After that the CSS will control the layout better.
05:32:40 <gjanssens> I guess what I'm trying to find out is if this needs to be a different report or whether it can be an improved version of the tax invoice report
05:32:47 <mikee> JUst separating some tables and giving them classes.
05:33:08 <gjanssens> That's good
05:33:50 <mikee> It almost fits as it is, just need to position the postal address better.
05:33:51 * gjanssens would like to see the tax invoice report become so flexible it can fully replace the other invoice reports, just by using a different css
05:34:21 <gjanssens> So by all means do it in the tax invoice report if you can
05:34:28 <gjanssens> Not as a new report
05:34:41 <gjanssens> (At least not in code)
05:34:49 <mikee> Ah, OK.
05:34:50 <gjanssens> There can perhaps be a different menu item for it
05:35:34 <mikee> A separate item would be better than selectinh the css manually.
05:35:41 <gjanssens> As I am also pondering making a separate menu item for the Australian tax invoice report
05:36:18 <mikee> They're based on the same original code.
05:36:18 <gjanssens> That report as well needs some customized default settings to make our Australian friends happy
05:36:31 <mikee> Of course.
05:36:42 <gjanssens> They are, but I never got a good summary of what changes they really needed by default
05:36:56 <gjanssens> Otherwise I would already have set it up
05:37:32 <mikee> The issue was left unresolved if I remember right.
05:37:49 <gjanssens> And yes, the tax invoice is missing some useful way to predefine (and save) the prefered css
05:38:05 <gjanssens> We're only at the beginning of using the full potential of html/css for reports
05:38:39 <mikee> It is much easier to customise that the pure scm reports.
05:38:47 <gjanssens> For Australia: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695610
05:39:52 * mikee reads
05:41:02 <mikee> Wow! Was it that long ago?
05:41:23 <gjanssens> Yep...
05:53:06 <mikee> I need to file a new bug for the e-bay layout then. But make it more of a generalised layout and config improvement.
05:55:47 <mikee> Later though.
05:58:30 *** Beebo99 has joined #gnucash
05:58:40 <Beebo99> Hello
06:01:54 <Beebo99> Does anybody here know how to spread an expense in GnuCash over 12 months so that one-twelfth is deducted every month (instead of one big deduction)?
06:04:58 <gjanssens> mikee: ok
06:06:02 <gjanssens> Beebo99: I don't understand your question. What are you trying to achieve exactly ?
06:07:03 <Beebo99> I'd like to annualise the expense. Let's say it is an annual membership fee. Instead of showing up as a $120 hit on one occasion I'd like to deduct $10 per month, each month, and speread it over the whole financial year
06:07:43 *** wol has joined #gnucash
06:08:04 <Beebo99> Oh by the way I don't know much about accounting - someone said I ought to do that with "annual" expenses
06:34:20 <Beebo99> Could I "pre-load" future dated one-twelfth expense entries?
06:34:55 <gjanssens> Beebo99: you probably are looking for the scheduled transaction editor
06:35:33 <gjanssens> This allows you to set up transactions that should be generated automatically in the future
06:36:04 <gjanssens> You set it up to pay 10$ monthly for the next 12 months
06:36:18 *** GabrieleV_ has joined #gnucash
06:36:19 *** GabrieleV has quit IRC
06:36:19 *** GabrieleV_ is now known as GabrieleV
06:36:20 <gjanssens> For your example that is.
06:36:47 <gjanssens> You can decide the starting date for yourself and which date of the month the transaction should be generated
06:37:08 <gjanssens> And several other options should you require them
06:38:20 <gjanssens> The Scheduled Transaction editor can be found under Actions->Scheduled transactions
06:39:41 <Beebo99> Ok thanks - I'll check that out
06:54:24 <Beebo99> bye

08:24:40 <gjanssens> Heh, I know... but I thought it to be humorous from my side of the connection anyway :)
08:24:56 <gjanssens> How are you by the way ?

09:42:36 <fell> No, she was talking about the usual family affairs, whom she met on holiday, the rainy weather, ...
