00:08:39 <chris> CDB-PHONE: I think I found and fixed the error - it was a simple (and embarrassing) transcription error in the truth table. You should not need to use negative values in UI except for capgains. Next build *-153-*.exe should be fixed
00:22:09 *** Wourroon has quit IRC
00:40:34 <CDB-PHONE> ok, likely will be next weekend for me

08:33:19 <Wourroon> AdrienM: Hi, thanks for answering my question about assigning a transaction as a payment a few weeks ago. I created a new transaction which transfers the $ to an AR account, but I still get the same error: "The selected transaction doesn't have splits that can be assigned as a payment"
09:32:44 *** PhotoMan has joined #gnucash
09:32:44 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v PhotoMan
09:50:56 <fell> Wourroon, did you read https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/busnss-ar-payment1.html

11:03:01 <Wourroon> fell: No, but I did now
11:03:21 <Wourroon> I need to use Assign payment as the transactions are imported from bank statement
11:03:36 <fell> right
11:03:59 <Wourroon> I'm not an accountant so I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong
11:07:19 *** NoobAlice has joined #gnucash
11:07:44 <fell> You should never modify A/R and A/P accounts directly, istead use »post invoice« and »assign Payment«
11:11:03 <Wourroon> I'm not modifying the AR account
11:11:25 <Wourroon> but Adrien said that one of the sides needs to be AR
11:11:36 <Wourroon> so I created a transaction to that AR account for testing
11:11:45 <Wourroon> but still assign payment doesn't work :(
11:17:07 <chris> Are the A/R accounts and Invoice of the same currency?
11:17:40 <chris> it's perfectly fine to create a BANK -> AR transaction. e.g. import bank ofx which contain AR/AP transfers.
11:18:06 <chris> ^ then r-click the transaction, "Assign as Payment"
11:18:45 *** chip_x has quit IRC
11:19:59 <Wourroon> Hi chris, yes, all accounts are in the same currency
11:20:37 <Wourroon> I'm doing BANK -> AR but assign as payment doesn't work
11:20:57 <Wourroon> I mentioned the error message in my first message
11:21:38 <chris> maybe screenshot the transaction (showing all splits) and paste in imgur.com
11:23:04 <Wourroon> sorry, I can't, it is confidential information
11:23:18 <Wourroon> by the way, what are "splits"?
11:23:18 <chris> you can use mspaint to cover up !
11:23:34 <Wourroon> well I would have to cover up a lot of things
11:23:37 <Wourroon> but let me try
11:24:58 <chris> highlight the candidate txn, View > Auto split ledger
11:26:35 <Wourroon> [OFF] Testing
11:27:06 <Wourroon> [OTR] Test
11:27:30 <Wourroon> how can I prevent a messaged from being logged in the public record
11:27:42 <Wourroon> *message
11:28:09 <chris> not to send it. well i have to leave soon.
11:28:26 <Wourroon> https://i.imgur.com/GQYzjSk.png
11:28:39 <Wourroon> okay, I will delete image later
11:28:59 <chris> maybe unhide the Transfer column?
11:29:08 <Wourroon> these are the transactions of an income account
11:29:33 <chris> HINT: for a payment transaction, the transfer shouldn't be an income acct
11:29:56 <Wourroon> I have unhide everything which is not confidential information
11:30:06 <Wourroon> the rest are specific account names
11:30:36 <Wourroon> Oh...
11:31:06 <Wourroon> I think I get it now, thanks chris

12:05:09 <RaviB> Hi there, I have a questions about Posting an Invoice
12:05:44 <RaviB> I get the error "No Account Selected. Please Try again". and I am unable to select an account. The dropdown is greyed out.
12:09:50 <RaviB> I do have an AR account. Called: "Accounts Receivable_UK"
12:10:14 <RaviB> It's under A/Receivable -> Assets

12:27:44 *** PhotoMan has quit IRC
12:33:03 <jralls> RaviB are you sure that the AR account is of type A/Receivable?
12:34:06 <RaviB> Yes. When I click edit account "Account Type" is A/Receivable. "Parent Account" is Asset -> Accounts Receivable -> AR_UK
12:35:12 <jralls> Are all of your accounts in GBP?
12:40:27 <RaviB> No some of them are GBP and Some are CAD
12:40:58 <RaviB> I see ! perhaps my Customer account was setup to CAD and only see's CAD AR?
12:41:09 <jralls> That would do it.
12:42:22 <RaviB> Hmm.. though there is no option to change current in customers or Job
12:42:34 <RaviB> Would missing Billing ID cause issues?
12:43:38 <RaviB> @jralls you seem to be correct. When I added a CAD A/R account it allows me to select
12:43:38 <gncbot> RaviB: Error: "jralls" is not a valid command.
12:43:38 <jralls> It might, but not that one. Try creating an AR account in CAD and see if it will let you assign that to the invoice and post it.
12:43:54 <RaviB> jralls you seem to be correct. When I added a CAD A/R account it allows me to select
12:44:11 <RaviB> I'll have to see why my invoices / customer / job are in CAD for this client ..
12:44:15 <RaviB> Thanks Jralls !
12:44:23 <jralls> You're welcome.
12:46:49 <RaviB> Any idea how to specify currency for a customer / job ?
12:49:05 <jralls> For customers it's the first item on the billing information tab of the customer dialog box.
12:49:38 <jralls> Jobs take it from the customer's setting.
12:51:03 <jralls> So if you have a transnational customer whom you invoice sometimes in CAD and other times in GBP then you need to create separate customers, one for each currency.

14:51:57 <fell> gjanssens, jralls: interesting discussion between Martin and Thomas Baumgart from KMyMoney about supporting CMake on aqbanking-user.
14:52:43 <jralls> How is Martin reacting?
14:53:34 <fell> He is not against it, but it seemed him too complex for himself.
14:54:52 <fell> Thomas asks the community to contribute it.
14:56:11 <jralls> That's lame. If Thomas wants it he should be willing to do the work himself. But Dawid Wrobel just did it for libofx, maybe Thomas can get him to do AQBankning too.
14:56:38 *** badbudgeter has left #gnucash
14:57:00 <jralls> Their motivation is they want to get KMyMoney in vcpkg so they need all of their dependencies there too, and that means building with cmake.
14:57:53 *** chipxxx has joined #gnucash
14:58:03 <jralls> It also means building clean with MSVS, no mingw allowed. That might be a lot of work for Martin too.
14:58:28 <fell> He would contribute too, but not do teh whole work (aqb, gwen, libchipcard) alone.

15:25:50 * gjanssens has mused about getting all of gnucash' dependencies build with cmake in the past
15:26:22 <gjanssens> And things like vcpkg or conan or variants
15:26:43 <gjanssens> Never became more than musing though as I think that's quite a lot of work.
