11:15:31 *** mydogsnameisrudy has joined #gnucash
11:32:33 <noregret> how can I find the path of the currently open gnucash file?
11:34:29 <warlord> Good question. I THINK if you do File -> Save As it'll open the currently-used directory.
11:36:06 *** mydogsnameisrudy has quit IRC
11:36:51 <noregret> yep you're right
11:37:02 <warlord> Phew
11:37:07 <noregret> hehe
11:37:45 *** jcarl43 has joined #gnucash
11:37:46 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v jcarl43
11:43:10 <noregret> so when I reconciled a CC statement, there was a different that I let gnucash add thru the Balance button, it went to "orphan-usd" account, where and what type should that account be?
11:43:20 <noregret> difference*
11:43:41 <warlord> Well, why was there a difference?
11:44:55 <noregret> well, the CC transactions don't go that far back and having that difference is fine for my first reconcilation even tho the funds in/out match just fine
11:45:55 <noregret> the problem that i'm having is that the next statement is having that same difference, so idk what to do even tho also funds in/out match the statement
11:48:54 <warlord> Let's step back -- when you reconcile, do you manually enter the ending balance stated on your statement?
11:51:07 *** suukim has quit IRC
12:03:01 <noregret> warlord: no, i use whatver gnucash displays, hold on, let me check my statement
12:03:40 *** storyjesse1 has joined #gnucash
12:04:06 <noregret> warlord: there is no ending balance in my CC statement, I only see it in the debit statement
12:04:35 *** storyjesse has quit IRC
12:04:35 *** storyjesse1 is now known as storyjesse
12:04:50 <noregret> I have a habit of paying CC balances whenever I see it large enough, I don't usually wait until due date
12:05:16 <noregret> I see "New balance" is that an ending balance?
12:05:36 <noregret> ps: i'm a complete noob in accounting/finance
12:14:45 <noregret> yeah, new balance is the ending balance
12:15:28 <noregret> so how can I unconcile the previous statement so i can do it again? should I click on the R column for each transaction?
12:18:34 <warlord> yes, click the R column from y to n for each txn
12:18:57 <warlord> Make sure you enter the correct ending balance from the statement (which is not "amount due")
12:20:30 <noregret> I think it's called "New Balance in my statement"
12:21:05 <noregret> or wait, it is the amount due
12:21:08 <noregret> i'm confused now
12:22:05 *** guak has joined #gnucash
12:22:58 <noregret> warlord: this is what it looks like, https://ibb.co/F7dtSFQ
12:23:59 <warlord> "New Balance" is what you want to enter into GnuCash as the ending balance.
12:24:06 <noregret> got it
12:24:25 <warlord> So you would enter a closing date of Feb 19, 2021 and and ending balance of 1579.14
12:24:25 <noregret> and I think by amount due, you mean minimum payment?
12:24:51 <warlord> Yeah, you can ignore that (as far as gnucash is concerned)
12:24:55 <noregret> yup
12:24:57 <noregret> thanks!
12:26:44 <warlord> Also note that you should never have to add a "Balance" transaction during reconcile -- except, MAYBE, the first time if you messed up the opening balance of the account.
12:27:13 <noregret> got it

12:37:06 *** Agfarmer18 has joined #gnucash
13:00:54 <noregret> after clicking finish in the reconcilation windows, why does a transfer funds window open? is that for paying the balance?
13:05:19 <jralls> Yes. Whether to display it is an option in Preferences somewhere, and you can disable it per-account with a check box at the bottom of that dialog box.

13:08:25 *** jervin has joined #gnucash
13:08:57 <noregret> cools, thanks
13:09:31 <noregret> I don't know what I did, but I see a bold blue line on one of the transactions in a register, what's that?
13:10:01 <noregret> oh nvm, i think it means a future transaction
