13:38:47 <lmat> Is there a shortcut to finish a transaction on the current split?
13:40:00 <lmat> I enter a transaction description, the splits are automatically populated, I change, for example, the product and tax amounts. Now the transaction is out of balance, and I need to key in the credit side for the credit card change.
13:40:04 <lmat> change->charge.
13:40:46 <lmat> I would like to be able to have gnucash figure out how to balance the current transaction and put that amount in the current split so I don't have to key it.
13:41:07 <lmat> I like double-entry accounting, you know, except the whole "double entry" part ^_^
13:50:49 *** fabior has quit IRC
14:01:22 *** kael has joined #gnucash
14:06:17 <warlord> lmat: well, you could erase the amount from the current split, then have gnucash generate a NEW split and duplicate the current account data into it, and then delete the empty split line. (short answer: no, there is no 'fill this in with the current balance' keystroke)

19:31:26 *** needGNUCashAccountant has joined #gnucash
19:32:24 <needGNUCashAccountant> anyone know why a previously created invoice was overwritten by a newly created invoice?
19:36:19 <needGNUCashAccountant> Also, if I have an invoice for $100 and take a partial payment of $40, then another invoice is posted for $100 and another for $100 and then I receive a second payment for $260(thus bringing the account current), will all the invoices be marked paid? what amounts will be applied where? how can I handle this?
19:37:12 *** User_ has joined #gnucash
19:40:54 <needGNUCashAccountant> lastly, can I get a list of all invoices(posted or not) and payments made? Is that the customer report? If so, does that include all transactions entered? I don't mean to sound stupid, but I've got some errors in my books that I need to fix and I can't seem to figure it out.
19:40:56 *** User_ has quit IRC
19:42:49 <needGNUCashAccountant> ps: I may have scrambled the books, but thanks to everyone who develops and supports this software. I find it much easier than quickbooks.
19:57:24 <lmat> needGNUCashAccountant: I don't use business features such as invoices, so I'm afraid I can't help. Stick around and someone else probably can help.
19:57:34 <lmat> needGNUCashAccountant: Yes, much better than quickbooks! ^_^
20:32:33 <warlord> needGNUCashAccountant: I've never heard of an invoice 'overwriting' a previously created one. But what exactly do you mean by "overwritten"?
20:33:35 <warlord> needGNUCashAccountant: process payment can apply payments to multiple invoices. In current 2.6 versions you select the invoices that will get paid. In your case if you have $300 worth of invoices and $300 worth of payments, after the two (40/260) payments all three invoices will be marked paid.
20:34:21 <warlord> needGNUCashAccountant: as for list of all invoices, the Customer Report will only show posted invoices and payments. It will not show unposted invoices, since technically if it's not posted it does not "exist" (from an accounting point of view).
20:34:40 <warlord> To view ALL invoices, Business -> Find Invoice -> [Matches Regex] .
20:34:50 <warlord> ... that will match *EVERY* invoice.
20:34:57 <warlord> You might want to limit it to a specific customer.

20:46:29 <kaziekama> What would the best way to import my scheduled transactions from a Quicken QIF into GnuCash?
20:46:31 <needGNUCashAccountant> thanks so much for all the help!
20:46:31 <needGNUCashAccountant> re: overwriting invoices.
20:46:31 <needGNUCashAccountant> I noticed that one of my invoices was gone. I had the print out, but it was not in gnucash. the invoice number my paper copy referred to was a different invoice for a different client. I think when I created the invoice for the different client, it overwrote the missing invoice.
20:49:07 <needGNUCashAccountant> I found the invoices, thanks warlord. Great idea! I figured out that search for invoice "0" works too.
20:49:07 <warlord> kaziekama: there is no way to import an SX. Sorry. The best way I can THINK of would be to import an actual transaction and then try to use that as the template for an SX. Only works with very basic transactions.
20:50:09 <warlord> needGNUCashAccountant: the InvoiceID isn't unique. If you hand-entered the ID then it's possible to have multiple invoices with the same ID.. Although a search should have brought up both.
20:50:22 <warlord> If it's not in your database, then maybe you didn't save your work?
20:52:42 <kaziekama> @warlord Ok, thank you!
20:52:42 <gncbot> kaziekama: Error: "warlord" is not a valid command.
20:54:42 *** fell has quit IRC
20:56:34 <needGNUCashAccountant> it's possible I forgot to save, but I tend to save like crazy. Still, that would make sense.
21:00:09 <needGNUCashAccountant> warlord, if I don't mark it paid, it will not automatically mark it paid? If so, that would explain a lot of my problems.
21:02:12 <warlord> How would it know to mark it paid if you don't tell it? GnuCash isn't a mind reader!
21:02:57 <warlord> You either need to run Process Payment, or you need to Apply Payment. Either method will attach the payment to the invoice(s)
21:20:15 *** kaziekama has left #gnucash
21:24:51 <needGNUCashAccountant> OK. I do use process payment so that marks it paid.
21:25:52 <needGNUCashAccountant> So what if a payment is for more than the invoice and should be applied to two invoices. If I go to process payment, it will only mark the one invoice as paid, not the other? how to I mark the other as paid?
22:47:15 *** linas has quit IRC
23:10:01 <needGNUCashAccountant> I must leave. thank you all for your help!
