10:42:57 <MrElk> Hi everybody, I'm glad to have finally found the helpdesk
10:53:21 *** Bodhi-Baum has quit IRC
10:53:31 *** Bodhi-Baum has joined #gnucash
10:54:48 <MrElk> does anybody know if it is possible to change the opening inventory at a later date than at the beginning?
10:55:20 <MrElk> And is there a german user manual somewhere on the internet?
10:55:21 <warlord> MrElk: do you mean "opening balance"?
10:55:39 <MrElk> o hi, yes I mean opening balance
11:00:16 *** agaric has quit IRC
11:01:05 <warlord> sure, it's just a regular transaction like anything else, so you can change it just like any other
11:05:36 <MrElk> ok, thank you. Do you also know if there is a user manual for German speakers somewhere on the internet?
11:10:42 <warlord> If there isn't one at www.gnucash.org then no, I don't know of one.
11:11:48 *** agaric has joined #gnucash
11:15:27 <MrElk> ok thank you, those were all the questions I had. Have a good time
11:15:30 <MrElk> bye

15:33:59 * Simon wonders how to record a "Corporate Action" on a stock... just enter it as income?
15:35:52 <Simon> I have no where to put it as income to...
15:36:35 <Simon> all it does is adjust the cost of the stock
15:38:52 <warlord> Simon: Define "corporate action on a stock"
15:40:28 <Simon> an "equalisation payment"
15:41:02 <Simon> a gain with no change in number of shares held
15:41:48 <Simon> as if they had arbitrarily removed that amount from the price
15:44:09 <Simon> I can get it to show up as income in the Advanced Portfolio report but that's not quite right either - it should be an adjustment of the basis of the shares
15:45:46 <Simon> although in theory I should just not enter this at all
15:45:54 <Simon> because it doesn't actually seem to give me a gain
15:46:02 <warlord> So basically they refunded you some money off your purchase price? E.g., you bought 100 shares for $10 each ($1000 basis), they give you $100 back so you effectively paid $900 for those $100 shares?
15:46:35 <Simon> no
15:46:50 <Simon> I don't appear to gain anywhere; it didn't affect my cash account
15:48:34 *** floh1111 has quit IRC
15:55:53 <warlord> So it's *just* a price change?
15:57:06 <Simon> http://online.hl.co.uk/website_help/help_stock_movements
15:57:21 <Simon> I've queried why they are showing it as an additional gain
15:57:44 *** mlncn has joined #gnucash
15:58:17 <Simon> if they were income units it would be an asset until the next income payment date
15:58:38 <Simon> but they're accumulation units so giving me back something that is already incorporated into the price doesn't make sense
16:07:17 <warlord> what exactly do you get?
16:07:55 *** cigarshark has quit IRC
16:08:23 <Simon> nothing
16:08:56 <Simon> I think it's supposed to be applied to the period between the ex-dividend date and the dividend payment date
16:09:22 <Simon> because it's a fund there will be dividends coming in at different times from the stocks it holds
16:09:24 <warlord> if you get nothing then i dont see what you should record

21:57:11 *** jbg has joined #gnucash
21:58:36 <jbg> Hey all, I’m a long-time GnuCash user but have recently started doing some currency day-trading and am curious how I should account for it in GnuCash. Because I hold positions for a short period of time, and many positions during the day, I’m not keen to introduce all that information into GnuCash.
21:58:54 <jbg> So I have my trading account, let’s say it has 100 AUD in it, and then let’s say I make 10 AUD on day trading today, how should I account for that in GnuCash?
22:12:08 <jbg> I guess it’s just a transfer from an Income account, even though it’s a capital gain? I can ignore all the other currencies that were involved, if I don’t want to have that level of detail in GnuCash
