11:38:04 <Owl> Hello all
11:40:08 <Owl> new guy to gnucash here. I believe I understand how to input CC transactions.
11:40:47 <Owl> But how should I enter CC transactions that my company reimburses me for? They aren't really my expenses. They pay me back the week after. Should I use accounts receivable/payable?
11:44:53 <Mechtilde> so you paid it cash and get the reimburses via Checkbook
11:44:56 <Mechtilde> ??
11:45:20 <Owl> I pay for it with my CC and they pay me cash the week after
11:45:46 *** mrklintscher has joined #gnucash
11:46:47 <Mechtilde> so it is a gegativ expense
11:46:51 <Mechtilde> a negativ
11:47:18 <Owl> hm ok
11:48:01 <Owl> thanks
11:48:02 <Mechtilde> this has the effect that you didn't paiy for it
11:48:11 *** mrklintscher has quit IRC
11:48:32 <Owl> correct
11:48:39 <Mechtilde> this isn't a gnucash related question
11:48:50 <Owl> oh ok
11:49:27 <Mechtilde> this is a question about the goal of accounting
11:50:57 <Owl> i thought i should reflect it in gnucash since it interacts with my personal CC and checking account
11:52:02 <Mechtilde> do you also track your cashflow?
11:53:12 <Simon> Owl: create a Current Asset that represents your debtor (your employer)
11:53:41 <Simon> Owl: when you get paid back for your expenses, the other side of the transaction is that debtor account
11:54:29 <Simon> so Liabilities:Credit Card -> Assets:Debtors:Employer and then Assets:Debtors:Employer -> Assets:Bank Account when you get paid back
11:55:08 <Simon> a negative expense doesn't make sense and you almost certainly want to track how much you're owed
11:57:36 <Owl> that makes a lot of sense, thank you!

15:15:47 <CDB-PHONE> jralls, well as the names imply, one is from a phone client, the other isn't
15:16:28 <CDB-PHONE> on any given IRC channel, i may connect from up to 4 devices simultaneously
15:16:50 <CDB-PHONE> home laptop, phone, work computer, and a third laptop
15:16:51 <jralls> CDB-PHONE: That would drive me (even more) nuts.
15:17:44 <CDB-PHONE> it's to circumvent the fact i can't run a bouncer on any of those devices
15:17:55 *** User_ has quit IRC
15:20:37 <CDB-PHONE> granted, there's no real need to join most channels while at work, so most places it's only the home laptop and the phone
15:22:45 <jralls> CDB-PHONE: Dunno about the other places you hang out, but this channel is logged. You don't need a bnc to keep from missing anything.
15:25:44 <CDB-PHONE> hmm, that's true

20:40:53 <Hoody> Hi, I've got a question about importing transactions, not from my bank but from a club management application. I can export all the transactions we make, eg camps, activities, membership and whether the member paid by cash or bank transfer.
20:42:09 <Hoody> I tried to import using CSV but this is cumbersome as it will only choose the first category in the file to post to the expense or income account
20:43:21 <Hoody> I then tried using a tool to convert CSV to OFX (http://www.propersoft.net/csv2ofx)
20:44:04 <Hoody> This sort of works but the parser doesnt seem to understand all the accounts the transactions need to go to, it will work for one but not all the accounts
20:44:27 <Hoody> Is there ant documentation on the parsers or hints for doing what I trying to do
20:44:59 <Hoody> The club management we use is tidyhq (http://tidyhq.com)
20:45:01 <Hoody> Thanks
