12:38:14 <frozenjim> Beginner chart of accounts question: I pay for o365 for several people under my account and I wish to invoice them monthly for their share of the VISA bill. I am fine with the Liability:Visa item being balanced by the Expenses:o365 item. However I need MORE... I need to have an account pair to keep track of WHO owes me money and then zero that out when they pay an invoice. Is this easier than I'm making it seem? It seems like it must be a basic require
12:43:52 <warlord> frozenjim: you need a split transaction.
12:44:06 <warlord> Assume that o365 costs $100, and you split it 4 ways (yourself and 3 others)
12:44:48 <warlord> You would credit your CC $100, debit Expenses:o365 $25 (your share of the expense), and then debit Assets:Loans:Person A $25, Person B $25, and Person C $25
12:46:22 <warlord> RestlessMind: you need to ignore one. It's one transaction (credit Bank, Debit CC -- assuming this is a cc payment transaction). There's no reason to account for the time delay in your books.
12:50:47 *** MechtiIde has quit IRC
12:53:38 <frozenjim> Warlord: Might be understanding... Is this going to be a split transaction with seven lines? Then I invoice against the Assets:Loans accounts?
12:54:46 <warlord> There's one line for the credit, and then one line for each person (including yourself) So if it's you and five other people then yes, there will be seven lines in the split, one credit and 6 debits.

12:55:40 <frozenjim> I'll try that in my test books to be certain I'm getting it, but it makes sense. Thanks a bunch! :-)

19:48:56 <RestlessMind> warlord, the main problem was that it was posted twice so i was "paying" 500 instead of 250. I was just curious if there was a feature that tied the two together, so far it looks like a no, so to ignore it, i deleted the extra ones :) thank you again :) it cleard it up a lot :)
20:26:49 <warlord> RestlessMind: I'm assuming you're importing the transactions? If so... during import you need to tell the importer that it's a duplicate/.
20:26:58 <warlord> It sometimes can detect that, but sometimes not.
20:29:29 <RestlessMind> yeah, unfortunatly, it did not this time cause i imported two different qif's that had different descriptions and dates, i think that what messed me up :) i just removed the extras and the balance looks correct now :)
20:30:24 <warlord> RestlessMind: two qifs from one source or two sources?
20:30:58 <RestlessMind> different sources
20:31:57 <RestlessMind> the ccard descipt = "thank you!" from the 27, while the bank was "Payment to CCard" on the 30th it makes since there was a problem, just wasnt sure if there was a feature to line them up afterwards
20:32:47 <warlord> Nope, you need to mark it dup during the import..
20:32:53 <warlord> Or delete the 2nd one afterwards.
20:32:57 * warlord never imports
20:33:28 <RestlessMind> did option 2... and i am just getting started with 2 years of information, i am going to import at first, :P :)
20:33:40 <warlord> okay

22:08:38 <OneMatt> Can I directly import transactions from paypal? We have been using a method of manually printing out the paypal transactions then typing them up into quicken, but we are switching over to gnucash anyway, and it would make it a lot easier. :)

22:30:39 *** chazdiezal has quit IRC
22:35:54 <warlord> Does paypal provide a qif or ofx download?
23:24:48 <OneMatt> Yes it does, thank you.
