20:32:41 <gncbot> chris: Sent 2 days, 8 hours, and 44 minutes ago: <CDB-Man> https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798946 -- I've put in my thoughts here, given that jralls tagged me. I think you guys have already resolved the issue (?) in question with sherlock, but sharing my thoughts for your edification
20:32:42 <gncbot> chris: Sent 2 days, 8 hours, and 43 minutes ago: <CDB-Man> in my case, I use net proceeds and gross proceeds as my stock transaction descriptors. I'm thinking in the book preferences usage perhaps it's a definable text there?
20:32:43 <gncbot> chris: Sent 2 days, 8 hours, and 42 minutes ago: <CDB-Man> I like the idea of accumulated invoice reports, typically in real like you can tag invoices with a job ID then you can run a report for all activity against that job. Jobs can also span multiple customers for really complex projects
20:32:44 <gncbot> chris: Sent 2 days, 8 hours, and 42 minutes ago: <CDB-Man> the last 3 messages the bot seems not to have repeated, so I'm reposting them

21:17:07 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v wakyct
21:18:09 <wakyct> hello, I tried connecting through a web irc gateway to irc.gimp.net but the bouncer disconnected me; I noticed connecting through this desktop client that the server is actually acc.umu.se -- should the irc.gimp.net alias work in my web client or do I need to use a different server name?
21:18:55 <wakyct> sorry I'm not that familiar with IRC
21:28:09 *** wakyct_ has joined #gnucash
21:28:39 *** wakyct has left #gnucash
21:28:59 *** wakyct_ is now known as wakyct
21:31:31 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v wakyct
21:32:50 <wakyct> I was trying a QIF import, and manually matched each transaction to the same account. It seemed like the import worked but then no transactions appeared in the account. Was I not understanding this import correctly? This is my first time using gnucash.
22:31:34 <chf> wakyct: the alias should work fine.
22:38:42 <chf> Using it is in fact preferrable, because connecting directly to "acc.umu.se" will only work whenever this particular server is up and running and connected to the rest of the network.
22:40:13 <wakyct> must be something up with my web gateway
22:40:17 <chf> Not sure what went wrong with QIF.
22:40:45 <wakyct> got this error from the gateway, -BouncerServ- failed connecting/registering to irc.gimp.net: connection error: failed to register: failed to read message: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate is valid for irc.acc.umu.se, irc-services.acc.umu.se, irc1.acc.umu.se, irc2.acc.umu.se, irc3.acc.umu.se, irc4.acc.umu.se, not irc.gimp.net
22:41:16 <wakyct> so in the QIF import match screen, it's normal to match each transaction with the account in question?
22:41:45 <wakyct> like say you're importing the qif from a savings account, all the xtractions will be for just that account
22:42:01 <chf> You import into ONE account, and match to another / several others.
22:42:14 <wakyct> oh I might be misunderstanding that then
22:42:20 <wakyct> I'll read up on it
22:43:58 <chf> Gnucash always does "real" accounting, i.e. each transaction goes "from" one account "to" another.
22:46:43 <chf> When importing QIF, you should choose the "bank" account ro import into, and then CAN match to several accounts according to the type of expense or income, or use just one account for that purpose.
22:47:18 <wakyct> thanks yes I've used hledger before -- by 'use just one account' you mean -npt- the bank acct you're importing to?
22:47:43 <chf> No, always another one.
22:47:51 <wakyct> ahh OK, thanks that's where I went wrong
22:48:18 <chf> Each transaction exists 2 times.
22:52:12 <chf> The purpose is to be able to "categorise" your transactions, as well as making really sure to not accidentally miss something, because each entry MUST have a corresponding one elsewhere. The latter is a bit of a problem nowadays, has been invented in times when people were doing that "on paper".
22:55:33 <chf> So with programmes like Gnucash, you CANNOT fail in this regard, each transaction WILL have a corresponding one, you can just choose the wrong account for that.
