00:47:16 <bozonius> nothing special about it except that those hours are multiplied by the hourly rate to get the extension, which is added to get the total for the invoice.
00:49:06 <bozonius> maybe those hours (or whatever else might be entered in that field) are not stored in the database/xml file, but they are certainly of interest to the UI which calculates them for me.

03:31:13 <bozonius> fell: ???
03:32:10 <bozonius> really? I am not even sure what it does. It is selected by default, apparently. I've been using it all along.
03:32:26 <bozonius> Is this why I was able to post the same invoice twice without unposting it perhaps?
03:32:33 <bozonius> or is that fact unrelated?
03:33:44 <bozonius> gnucash seems to be a minefield of not-so-obvious issues... It's good to be aware of these. Thanks.
03:42:46 <fell> bozonius: At least if you wish to see the details in your A/R account. Sorry, I am currently not on "my" machine - else I could tell you more.

07:31:22 <warlord> bozonius: Yes, it is stored, but it's not "Hours" as far as gnucash is concerned. It's just a quantity of *something* that has a per-unit price.
07:32:19 <warlord> bozonius: no, accumulate splits is not related to the double posting. I've never heard of the double-posting issue until you mentioned it, and as I said you should absolutely file a bug report on that one.
07:33:12 <warlord> bozonius: the "accumulate splits" option, when selected, will merge all line-items on an invoice to the same account into a single split into that account. However if you uncheck the box then you get a 1:1 mapping from line-item to Split in the posted transaction.
07:34:05 <warlord> (However if your goal is to see the # of hours, that still wont help you, because the Split only gets the total line-item value.
07:36:18 <warlord> to see what you want to see you'd need to write a report (in scheme). It would need to go through every relevant invoice, and on each invoice go through each relevant line-item entry searching for your desired "Action", and then reading in the qty...

11:16:51 <Fernando> Hi, I posted a question in StackExchange Peronsal Fiannce and Money related to GNUCASH 2.6.5. http://bit.ly/1zC4fEz
11:17:53 <Fernando> Q: How do I account for 100 percent vendor discounts in GnuCash 2.6.5
11:27:53 <warlord> Fernando: you mean the vendor wrote you off completely and you'll never pay them back?
11:29:08 <Fernando> Correct. Total write off. Not paid a cent.
11:35:42 <warlord> How does your accountant suggest you handle that? As Income?
11:36:25 *** himaxx has joined #gnucash
11:39:00 *** himaxx has quit IRC
11:45:08 <warlord> Fernando: based on the answer to that question I can tell you how to record it in gnucash.
11:45:35 <Fernando> I don't have an accountant. I am the accountant for now :-O . Hence the question. But from my search in Google if someone condones a bill in the U.S. that should be reported as income I believe.
11:47:09 <warlord> Then you would process payment to the bill for the full amount. Process it into any account; doesn't matter. E.g. your Bank Account. Then after the payment transaction gets created, change the Bank Account to Income, e.g. Income:Forgiven Debt
11:51:39 <Fernando> So, if I understood correctly. (1) Process as usual (e.g. payment from cheking); (2) Modify the entry in checking and change it "income"other income" (or whatever name). After I do this I will have (a) paid the posted bills, (b) left no trace of this in checking account, (c) recorded it as income. I will try later today and report back. If it works I will post the answer in StackExchange for
11:51:40 <Fernando> others to see. I will add link to IRC chat log so you get credit (unless you want to answer directly in SE).
11:52:14 <Fernando> Thanks
11:58:27 <warlord> sure
11:58:47 <warlord> Note that it might be easier to make the change from AP instead of your bank account register, but the process is correct.

20:12:24 <keret> A few days ago I posted some questions regarding charge-backs and mentioned at the time that perhaps I should, in hindsight, have posted to the mailing list.
20:12:50 <keret> I never received a response on this channel.
20:13:27 <keret> A couple of days later I compiled and sent these queries to the mailing list without knowing I needed to be a member.
20:14:18 <keret> I received the (usual?) reply from the mailing list that moderator approval was needed for the message to be posted to the mailing list because I was not a member.
20:14:29 <keret> I subsequently signed up as a member.
20:15:09 <keret> I then sent a message to the mailing list moderator yesterday asking for original message to be approved or sent back so I could re-post the content.
20:15:59 <keret> No response yet, but thought I would post here to hopefully bring it to the attention of the relevant person a little sooner.
