01:28:20 <chris> CDB-Man: a small query to you... not urgent. You must be familiar wiht Gnucash's Close Book tool -- will transfer balance from INC/EXP to Equity. This transaction is internally tagged so that it's easily identifiable.
01:28:54 <chris> However the tagging may not be present in old (10+ years ago) books. Previously they were identified in IncomeStatement reports via regex "Closing Entries".
01:29:55 <chris> I'm wondering if (1) we change the Closing Entries detection from tags to heuristics - if a txn involves only INC/EXP and EQUITY accounts then it's a closing transaction
01:30:29 <chris> (2) corollary is there any legitimate transaction which does the other -- EQUITY to INC/EXP...?
01:31:18 <chris> I guess the only scenario I can think is when creating a brand new book, and the user wishes to seed the INC/EXP balance from the book start date. However I can't think why it would be desirable.
