Description Jared Riley 2002-07-15 03:32:34 UTC
I get paid on the last business day of the month.  An option for that in
the monthly date selection menu would be nice.
Comment 1 Jon Nall 2002-08-27 14:12:51 UTC
yep. i get paid on the 15th and the last day of the month, so it would
be great if gnucash could support this.

I'd also like to have "the fourth-to-last business day from the end of
the month"....

Changing prio/sev.
Comment 5 Tim Abell 2007-10-28 01:13:42 UTC
Last friday of the month in my case. And I think at christmas pay will always come on the last working friday before xmas even if there is a friday between xmas and new year.

I presume that doesn't warrant a separate bug report even though it's not strictly the same as this bug's title?
Comment 6 Tim Abell 2007-10-28 01:32:55 UTC
Just noticed that last friday is already available in the svn version. I'll get my coat. Good work guys.

  I don't think we need anything about last of the month if there was n business days before y.  Then you'd just needs n+1 business days before 1st of next month.
So, is the real question about having n business days before y?

Thank you for taking the time to explain your enhancement request.

The described enhancement is a good proposal and would be an advantage for the software. However, as a volunteer-driven project with limited resources, the GnuCash developers have to set priorities on which features are most likely being worked on in the near future. In that sense, the current GnuCash developers decided not to work on your proposed feature in the next 4-6 months. In case you would like to have this feature implemented in any case, you have the following option: 1. Start to program in gnucash yourself - see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development . 2. Convince someone who is not yet part of the GnuCash team to join the team and implement your feature. 3. Pay some of the GnuCash developers to implement your feature - ask on the mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org in that case. Thank you very much.

Feel free to file other bugs or enhancement requests that you find, though.
