GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 584869
net change line in general journal report broken
Last modified: 2018-06-29 22:22:55 UTC
Please describe the problem: The General Journal report probably shouldn't have a net change line, but if it should then that line really ought to display no change if you only have balanced tranactions Steps to reproduce: open the soon to be attached example.gnucash select the third tab from the left named "Register" look at the "Net Change" line Actual results: The "Net Change" line displays 8000 kr. credited as the report for some reason only counted one split for the transaction. Expected results: I expected "Net Change" to display 0 kr. in both or none of the Debit and Credit columns. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: The totaling bug is probably related to bug 584867.
Created attachment 135987 [details] gnucash file reproducing the bug
In "Expected Results" I should have stated that first of all I didn't expect a "Net Change" line, but if one is to be present then I expect it to total to 0 kr.
Created attachment 136106 [details] screen shot of the report Nobody asked for it for this bug yet, but as apparently the open report tabs aren't included in the gnucash file I'm attaching a screen shot of the report.
And to be more clear: to produce this report I've selected Reports/Assets & Liabilities/General Journal
I tried to reproduce this bug on GnuCash 2.4.10 (Ubuntu 12.04). In addition I inserted a transaction of 1.000 Rabate to check the Net Change. Numbers look ok now, see attached screenshot. This bug should be closed.

Sorry, please disregard my previous comments - I got mixed up here with 584867. This bug is still there. See updated screenshot for GnuCash 2.4.10 on Ubuntu 12.04.

Created attachment 242198 [details] [review] patch file to be applied on register.scm in GnuCash 2.5.0 This patch proposes to not show net changes in the General Journal. What it does (taken from the patch description): Do not show any totals in the General Journal report. According to http://www.accountingtools.com/general-journal and http://accountophobia.blogspot.de/2012/06/general-journal.html it is not the idea of the General Journal to show totals but only list transactions. This patch makes use of the ledger-type? flag and suppresses the output of the Net Changes accordingly. By that, the General Journal will not show Totals, but the Account Report still does.
