05:21:42 <lxop> Hi @chris-phone, thanks for that suggestion. I'm comfortable figuring out the payable amount already, the problem is more that the Balance Sheet is not right when I use separate GST collected/GST paid accounts, and the Income&GST report doesn't work if I use a single cumulative GST account

06:50:59 <chris> @tell lxop why shouldn't the balance sheet be incorrect given one GST is Liability, the other is Asset? They balance out

16:20:15 <jralls> chris, set-tm:* is part of Scheme but date-utilities.scm says set:tm-* in several places. Looks like it originated at https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/23ffb366f2810875eff6d9365bb897e22d20854f and survived https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/5ca984954c3ee21eec0b936c5ae3d3237904459d. Could it have been correct 15 years ago?
16:34:37 <jralls> chris, re #459 I think we should move accounting period to book options as part of a general separation of what belongs to particular books and what a user might apply globably to all of their books, taking into consideration the possibility that more than one user might work on a book (though not at the same time).
16:36:09 <jralls> chris, Saved report configs are going to be a piece of that because of GUIDs that cause the saved config to be applicable to only one book.
16:38:04 <jralls> @tell chris set-tm:* is part of Scheme but date-utilities.scm says set:tm-* in several places.

That will probably make the PR not useful.

20:30:54 <lxop> @chris the Balance Sheet is not meaningfully correct because the subaccounts just continuously accumulate GST - so after a couple of years, the balance sheet will look like I have a huge asset and a huge liability when in reality their difference is my actual GST position.
20:30:54 <gncbot> lxop: Error: "chris" is not a valid command.
20:30:55 <gncbot> lxop: Sent 13 hours and 39 minutes ago: <chris> why shouldn't the balance sheet be incorrect given one GST is Liability, the other is Asset? They balance out

20:34:57 <lxop> I guess I could eliminate the Payments account (which tracks payments remitted to the govt) and instead make transactions like
20:34:57 <lxop> - Credit bank account net GST amount
20:34:57 <lxop> - Credit "paid GST" its balance (which would set it to zero)
20:34:57 <lxop> - Debit "collected GST" its balance (which would set it to zero)
20:34:57 <lxop> That feels like a clunkier operation, but I suppose it might make everything work
20:35:15 <lxop> (sorry, that was supposed to be a single split tx)
