Account Commodity setters/getters
Accounts are used to store an amount of 'something', that 'something' is called the 'commodity'. An account can only hold one kind of commodity. The following are used to get and set the commodity, and also to set the SCU, the 'Smallest Commodity Unit'. Note that when we say that a 'split' holds an 'amount', that amount is denominated in the account commodity. Do not confuse 'amount' and 'value'. The 'value' of a split is the value of the amount expressed in the currency of the transaction. Thus, for example, the 'amount' may be 12 apples, where the account commodity is 'apples'. The value of these 12 apples may be 12 dollars, where the transaction currency is 'dollars'. The SCU is the 'Smallest Commodity Unit', signifying the smallest non-zero amount that can be stored in the account. It is represented as the integer denominator of a fraction. Thus, for example, a SCU of 12 means that 1/12 of something is the smallest amount that can be stored in the account. SCU's can be any value; they do not need to be decimal. This allows the use of accounts with unusual, non-decimal commodities and currencies. Normally, the SCU is determined by the commodity of the account. However, this default SCU can be over-ridden and set to an account-specific value. This is account-specific value is called the 'non-standard' value in the documentation below.

Account Children and Parents.
The set of accounts is represented as a doubly-linked tree, so that given any account, both its parent and its children can be easily found.

Detailed Description

Splits are grouped into Accounts which are also known as "Ledgers" in accounting practice.

Each Account consists of a list of Splits that debit that Account. To ensure consistency, if a Split points to an Account, then the Account must point to the Split, and vice-versa. A Split can belong to at most one Account. Besides merely containing a list of Splits, the Account structure also gives the Account a name, a code number, description and notes fields, a key-value frame, a pointer to the commodity that is used for all splits in this account. The commodity can be the name of anything traded and tradeable: a stock (e.g. "IBM", "McDonald's"), a currency (e.g. "USD", "GBP"), or anything added to the commodity table.

Accounts can be arranged in a hierarchical tree. By accounting convention, the value of an Account is equal to the value of all of its Splits plus the value of all of its sub-Accounts.

Enumeration Type Documentation

GNCAccountType

enum GNCAccountType

The account types are used to determine how the transaction data in the account is displayed.

These values can be safely changed from one release to the next. Note that if values are added, the file IO translation routines need to be updated. Note also that GUI code depends on these numbers.

Note

IMPORTANT: If you do change the enumeration names (not the numbers), you need to update xaccAccountTypeEnumAsString — used for text file exports

Enumerator
ACCT_TYPE_INVALID	Not a type.
ACCT_TYPE_NONE	Not a type.
ACCT_TYPE_BANK	The bank account type denotes a savings or checking account held at a bank. Often interest bearing.
ACCT_TYPE_CASH	The cash account type is used to denote a shoe-box or pillowcase stuffed with * cash.
ACCT_TYPE_CREDIT	The Credit card account is used to denote credit (e.g. amex) and debit (e.g. visa, mastercard) card accounts
ACCT_TYPE_ASSET	asset (and liability) accounts indicate generic, generalized accounts that are none of the above.
ACCT_TYPE_LIABILITY	liability (and asset) accounts indicate generic, generalized accounts that are none of the above.
ACCT_TYPE_STOCK	Stock accounts will typically be shown in registers which show three columns: price, number of shares, and value.
ACCT_TYPE_MUTUAL	Mutual Fund accounts will typically be shown in registers which show three columns: price, number of shares, and value.
ACCT_TYPE_CURRENCY	The currency account type indicates that the account is a currency trading account. In many ways, a currency trading account is like a stock * trading account. It is shown in the register with three columns: price, number of shares, and value. Note: Since version 1.7.0, this account is * no longer needed to exchange currencies between accounts, so this type is DEPRECATED.
ACCT_TYPE_INCOME	Income accounts are used to denote income.
ACCT_TYPE_EXPENSE	Expense accounts are used to denote expenses.
ACCT_TYPE_EQUITY	Equity account is used to balance the balance sheet.
ACCT_TYPE_RECEIVABLE	A/R account type.
ACCT_TYPE_PAYABLE	A/P account type.
ACCT_TYPE_ROOT	The hidden root account of an account tree.
ACCT_TYPE_TRADING	Account used to record multiple commodity transactions. This is not the same as ACCT_TYPE_CURRENCY above. Multiple commodity transactions have splits in these accounts to make the transaction balance in each commodity as well as in total value.
NUM_ACCOUNT_TYPES	stop here; the following types just aren't ready for prime time
ACCT_TYPE_CHECKING	bank account type – don't use this for now, see NUM_ACCOUNT_TYPES
ACCT_TYPE_SAVINGS	bank account type – don't use this for now, see NUM_ACCOUNT_TYPES
ACCT_TYPE_MONEYMRKT	bank account type – don't use this for now, see NUM_ACCOUNT_TYPES
ACCT_TYPE_CREDITLINE	line of credit – don't use this for now, see NUM_ACCOUNT_TYPES

Function Documentation

dxaccAccountGetPriceSrc()

const char* dxaccAccountGetPriceSrc

(

const Account *

account

)

Get a string that identifies the Finance::Quote backend that should be used to retrieve online prices.

See price-quotes.scm for more information. This function uses a static char*.

Deprecated:

Price quote information is now stored on the commodity, not the account.

Definition at line 4847 of file Account.cpp.

{
    if (!acc) return nullptr;

    if (!xaccAccountIsPriced(acc)) return nullptr;

}

dxaccAccountSetPriceSrc()

void dxaccAccountSetPriceSrc	(	Account *	account,
		const char *	src
	)

Set a string that identifies the Finance::Quote backend that should be used to retrieve online prices.

See price-quotes.scm for more information

Deprecated:

Price quote information is now stored on the commodity, not the account.

Definition at line 4835 of file Account.cpp.

}

gnc_account_append_child()

void gnc_account_append_child	(	Account *	new_parent,
		Account *	child
	)

This function will remove from the child account any pre-existing parent relationship, and will then add the account as a child of the new parent.

The exception to this is when the old and new parent accounts are the same, in which case this function does nothing.

If the child account belongs to a different book than the specified new parent account, the child will be removed from the other book (and thus, the other book's entity tables, generating a destroy event), and will be added to the new book (generating a create event).

Parameters

new_parent	The new parent account to which the child should be attached.
child	The account to attach.

This method will traverse the immediate children of this accounts, calling 'func' on each account.

This function traverses all children nodes. To traverse only a subset of the child nodes use the gnc_account_foreach_child_until() function.

Parameters

account	A pointer to the account on whose children the function should be called.
func	A function taking two arguments, an Account and a gpointer.
user_data	This data will be passed to each call of func.

This method will traverse all children of this accounts and their descendants, calling 'func' on each account.

Traversal will stop when func returns a non-null value, and the routine will return with that value. Therefore, this function will return null if func returns null for every account. For a simpler function that always traverses all children nodes, use the gnc_account_foreach_descendant() function.

Parameters

account	A pointer to the account on whose descendants the function should be called.
func	A function taking two arguments, an Account and a gpointer.
user_data	This data will be passed to each call of func.

This routine returns a GList of all children accounts of the specified account.

This function only returns the immediate children of the specified account. For a list of all descendant accounts, use the gnc_account_get_descendants() function.

If you are looking for the splits of this account, use xaccAccountGetSplitList() instead. This function here deals with children accounts inside the account tree.

Parameters

account

The account whose children should be returned.

Returns

A GList of account pointers, or NULL if there are no children accounts. It is the callers responsibility to free any returned list with the g_list_free() function.

Returns a gnc_commodity that is a currency, suitable for being a Transaction's currency.

The gnc_commodity is taken either from the current account, or from the next parent account that has a gnc_commodity that is a currency. If neither this account nor any of its parent has such a commodity that is a currency, NULL is returned. In that case, you can use gnc_default_currency() but you might want to show a warning dialog first.

gnc_account_get_descendants()

GList* gnc_account_get_descendants

(

const Account *

account

)

This routine returns a flat list of all of the accounts that are descendants of the specified account.

This includes not only the the children, but the children of the children, etc. For a list of only the immediate child accounts, use the gnc_account_get_children() function. Within each set of child accounts, the accounts returned by this function are unordered. For a list of descendants where each set of children is sorted via the standard account sort function, use the gnc_account_get_descendants_sorted() function.

Parameters

account

The account whose descendants should be returned.

Returns

A GList of account pointers, or NULL if there are no descendants. It is the callers responsibility to free any returned list with the g_list_free() function.

Definition at line 3044 of file Account.cpp.

{
    GList* list = nullptr;

gnc_account_get_descendants_sorted()

GList* gnc_account_get_descendants_sorted

(

const Account *

account

)

This function returns a GList containing all the descendants of the specified account, sorted at each level.

This includes not only the the children, but the children of the children, etc. Within each set of child accounts, the accounts returned by this function are ordered via the standard account sort function. For a list of descendants where each set of children is unordered, use the gnc_account_get_descendants() function.

Note: Use this function where the results are intended for display to the user. If the results are internal to GnuCash or will be resorted at some later point in time you should use the gnc_account_get_descendants() function.

Parameters

account

The account whose descendants should be returned.

Returns

A GList of account pointers, or NULL if there are no descendants. It is the callers responsibility to free any returned list with the g_list_free() function.

Definition at line 3052 of file Account.cpp.

{

gnc_account_get_full_name()

gchar* gnc_account_get_full_name

(

const Account *

account

)

The gnc_account_get_full_name routine returns the fully qualified name of the account using the given separator char.

The name must be g_free'd after use. The fully qualified name of an account is the concatenation of the names of the account and all its ancestor accounts starting with the topmost account and ending with the given account. Each name is separated by the given character.

Note

: WAKE UP! Unlike all other gets, the string returned by gnc_account_get_full_name() must be freed by you the user !!! hack alert – since it breaks the rule of string allocation, maybe this routine should not be in this library, but some utility library?

Parameters

parent	The parent account to check.
num	The index number of the child account that should be returned.

Returns

A pointer to the specified child account, or NULL

gnc_account_set_defer_bal_computation()

void gnc_account_set_defer_bal_computation	(	Account *	acc,

	)

Set the defer balance flag.

If defer is true, the account balance is not automatically computed, which can save a lot of time if multiple operations have to be done on the same account. If defer is false, further operations on account will cause the balance to be recomputed as normal.

Parameters

acc	Set the flag on this account.
defer	New value for the flag.

This function will set the starting commodity balance for this account.

This routine is intended for use with backends that do not return the complete list of splits for an account, but rather return a partial list. In such a case, the backend will typically return all of the splits after some certain date, and the 'starting balance' will represent the summation of the splits up to that date.

xaccAccountOrder()

int xaccAccountOrder	(	const Account *	account_1,
		const Account *	account_2
	)

The xaccAccountOrder() subroutine defines a sorting order on accounts.

It takes pointers to two accounts, and returns an int < 0 if the first account is "less than" the second, returns an int > 0 if the first is "greater than" the second, and 0 if they are equal. To determine the sort order, first the account codes are compared, and if these are equal, then account types, then account names. If still equal, it compares GUID to ensure that there aren't any ties.

xaccAccountSetAssociatedAccount()

void xaccAccountSetAssociatedAccount	(	Account *	acc,
		const char *	tag,
		const Account *	assoc_acct
	)

Set the account's associated account e.g.

stock account -> dividend account

Definition at line 2669 of file Account.cpp.

}

xaccAccountSetCommoditySCU()

void xaccAccountSetCommoditySCU	(	Account *	account,
		int	frac
	)

Set the SCU for the account.

Normally, this routine is not required, as the default SCU for an account is given by its commodity.

Definition at line 2722 of file Account.cpp.

{
    AccountPrivate *priv;

    g_return_if_fail(GNC_IS_ACCOUNT(acc));

    priv = GET_PRIVATE(acc);

    xaccAccountCommitEdit(acc);
}

xaccAccountSetNonStdSCU()

void xaccAccountSetNonStdSCU	(	Account *	account,
		gboolean	flag
	)

Set the flag indicating that this account uses a non-standard SCU.

Definition at line 2758 of file Account.cpp.

{
    AccountPrivate *priv;

    g_return_if_fail(GNC_IS_ACCOUNT(acc));

    priv = GET_PRIVATE(acc);

    xaccAccountBeginEdit(acc);
    priv->non_standard_scu = flag;
    mark_account (acc);
    xaccAccountCommitEdit(acc);
}

xaccAccountSetOnlineID()

void xaccAccountSetOnlineID	(	Account *	account,
		const char *	id
	)

Set the account's online_id, the identifier (e.g.

an OFX/HBCI BANKID+ACCTID composite) of the online account this GnuCash account is mapped to for bank imports. This is the same value (engine KVP slot "online_id") that the desktop OFX/HBCI importer uses to match a downloaded statement to its GnuCash account. Passing NULL or "" clears it. Wraps its own begin/commit edit.

Definition at line 2661 of file Account.cpp.

{
    g_return_if_fail (GNC_IS_ACCOUNT(acc));
    set_kvp_string_path (acc, {KEY_ONLINE_ID}, id);
}

xaccAccountSortSplits()

void xaccAccountSortSplits	(	Account *	acc,
		gboolean	force
	)

The xaccAccountSortSplits() routine will resort the account's splits if the sort is dirty.

If 'force' is true, the account is sorted even if the editlevel is not zero.

    priv->balance_dirty = TRUE;
}

xaccCloneAccount()

Account* xaccCloneAccount	(	const Account *	source,
		QofBook *	book
	)

The xaccCloneAccount() routine makes a simple copy of the indicated account, placing it in the indicated book.

It copies the account type, name, description, and the kvp values; it does not copy splits/transactions. The book should have a commodity table in it that has commodities with the same unique name as the ones being copied in the account (the commodities in the clone will be those from the book).
