Data Broker display
Accountant   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
About
Accountant is a basic tool to track your gold income and expenses within WoW. It logs running totals by mode (session, day, week, total) of how much gold you have spent and earned from vendors / loot / repair / quests etc...
It includes a "cache box" that will 'hide' gold from the total displayed in the main window or the LDB. It in no way changes the gold you have.

The money information will be saved for each realm. Each character on each realm will be tracked. You must log in to each character before it can be shown in Accountant.

The last selected tab and character is remembered.

Accountant is Data Broker compliant. You need a Data Broker display add-on. The Data Broker 'button' shows the same net profit / loss selected in Accountant main window. The tooltip shows net details.

Usage
Either click the minimap button or use /acc to view your accountant log.

Known issue:
1) Gold is put in wrong category. [Mail instead of AH]
- Open mail from the auction house and close but do not pull the gold out. Then open the mail again and pull out. The gold will go into the Mail category not auction house (AH).
- You will also see this when using Auctioneer
I found this on a recent change to BeanCounter (Auctioneer). It opens mail to get info and leaves the mail as 'read'. This makes it 'hidden' to other addons. Blizzard has no way to change mail state ('read' to 'unread' for example).
If someone has read this far and knows how to get info from read mail - please message me. :-)

As always please let me know of any other issues.

(See change log for details.)
  Change Log - Accountant
History:
v3.6.00:
- Updated toc for 3.2 patch
- Add new option to show total on LDB button.
- Added a 'cache box' to 'hide' money from the total. Only the total in
the Accountant frame or Accountant LDB button is affected.
Note: You are allowed to cache more money than you have resulting in a
negative amount being shown.
- Resized window to show more gold (for those lucky few!)

v3.5.00:
- Fixed library dependencies that caused a lot of errors.
- Moved options to the Blizzard options for addons.
- Added the option to 'remove' Accountant data for a character. The character could have been deleted.
- Added the option to 'merge' Accountant data of two characters. The character could have been renamed.
- Cleaned up parts of the code.
- Fixed an error when user had selected 'All Chars' tab and used a LDB addon - the tooltip threw an error.
- Made the numbers shown 'stack' better vertically
- Fixed an error where the Accountant title was no showing.

v3.4.02:
- Added some German translation thanks to ylarion.

v3.4.01:
- Removed a debug statement that was appearing in chat.

v3.4.00:
- Fixed error popping up when opening Accountant.
- Now allow gold to transfer between characters via mail instead of ignoring

v3.3:
- Fixed a typo causing the Data Broker icon to not be shown.

v3.3:
- Now has a Lib Data Broker component. If you have a Data Broker display addon
it will display the net profit/loss of the session / day / week / total tabs.
Or the Total of all characters if the 'All Chars' tab is selected.
Note: This has been tested with Titan Panel only.
- The last tab and character(s) selected are now remembered, by character, across logins.
- Net loss (negative) is shown as gold with "()" around it. This is in line with
accounting practice.
- Data Broker button tooltip gives the break down (net) into categories
- If you use the Titan Accountant addon, it will display the same value as
the Data Broker component. This is redundant - the Titan Addon should be removed.

v3.2:
- Changes to allow to run in Lich King (Beta)
v3.1:
NOTE: You MUST (re)log into each character you want see in Accountant!
There is new data saved for each character that is needed by the recent changes.
The current data is NOT lost.
- New look and feel. The older UI was too hard to change and maintain for what I needed.
- Added the ability to choose all Alliance and / or all Horde.
- Added a character pull down to see a single character. (suggested by Inwe Anwame)

3.01:
- Removed realm name from all character tab. Long realm names can wrap to the next row making the tab messy to read

3.00:
- Updates; repair category now shows correctly

Prior to 3.0:
This was updated at the request of a friend. Accountant appears to be currently unsupported so a new version was required.


(that I can glean from posted versions)
Accountant By Sabaki, Shadow, and Rophy
Accountant Continued by Quel (this was the version I started with)
Accountant Classic by Arith
And likely many others that helped this addon

Loved the old add-on, having issues with changes

I used the older version of this add-on with great success and almost no errors. However, this latest release doesn't show any information at all, even after money changes hands. When I open the minimap button for the first time, I get about 3 different error messages. I try typing /acc but nothing comes up. I'm using LBD as a base with the correct plug-in to help it show up, but it still does not show up for my bars, only the minimap. All of the above is true regardless of character or server (I tested it on 3 different servers, with about 7 different toons).

I'm not sure what other information I need to provide to help you debug. Please let me know. I really rely on this add-on, and I'd love to have it working again! Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong, or a conflicting add-on... Btw, I really like the new changes - much easier to read!

I'm Having an issue with whenever I attempt to set a focus, it says that Accountant is attempting to perform a function that is reserved to the Blizzard UI, and then asks to shut down Accountant or ignore, if I ignore it doesn't set my focus

Accountant doesn't count AH money on the german client. Right now the subject Accountant is searching for in a mail is not localized. Easy fix, make the search string in line 1088 localizable.
German translation: "Auktion erfolgreich:".

Same holds true for Outbid in line 1091. German translation: "Höheres gebot"

Thanks for a great addon.

Looking at it now I think I overlooked the fact that it shows "Auctionator" (another add-on I'm running) in the trace stack, not Accountant. Thanks!

Re: error

good news - it is not an error.
The lines are a debug statement I accidentally left in the release. The release has been updated (3.4.01) to remove them.
I was trying to figure out a Blizzard 'feature' to better handle auction house mail.

I do not see the errors you are getting. Would you please send me more details?
Is it always when you use /acc or click a certain button? Or when you perform a certain action? Are you using an LDB (Lib Data Broker) display addon?
I have tried hard to minimize interactions with other addons but I could have missed something.

The way the old display was implemented was hard to maintain and modify so I did change the layout while staying to the spirit of the older versions.

I do not remember changing revenue / expense from the one I took over. There were at least 3 versions at the time. None of them had been changed in a long time. Sadly I no longer have the original to compare to. Sorry if it is more confusing.

Please feel free to send me a message via my profile.

Hm why did you change "incoming/outgoings" to revenue/expenditures - seems pretentiously confusing.

Did you also change the layout of the window in general? For some reason the old one (1.4.1) was easier for me to read.

Re: same error...

Thank you for your patience. An updated Accountant is available to fix the error.
It took longer to fix then I like because it took several days to get the latest patch on my system successfully.
