How to Delete a Government Gateway ID

As described earlier, here are the instructions from HMRC on how to delete a Government Gateway ID (GG ID), should you choose to do so.

1. Login to your account with the GG ID you wish to delete. You'll need your GG user ID and password.

This will also require access to your second factor authorisation device.

2. Once logged on, select the ‘Manage account’ option at the top of your homepage.

3. On the next page choose the ‘View or change your business tax account details’ link under the ‘Account details’ heading.

4. On the following page select the ‘Manage your Government Gateway details’ link at the right-hand side of the page.

5. On the page after, choose the ‘Your Government Gateway profile’ option under the 'Your profile and settings' heading at the right of the page.

6. Finally, on the next page choose the ‘Delete my Government Gateway user ID’ option at the bottom of the page.

7. Confirm that you want to delete your user ID by selecting that option and clicking on the green ‘Confirm’ button.

P.S. These aren't quite the actual instructions I received from HMRC, I had to add step 5.

Getting moving with Grocy

Now we have Grocy working , even if in skeletal form, the next hurdle is to cut the tie to the PC and go mobile. The advantages of being able to update stock levels on the hoof are obvious. All consume and purchase operations can be done at the point of use without the need to make notes and mark these up later. Inventorying can be performed at the storage location rather than dragging everything to the computer or more note making. What is needed, therefore, is mobile access to Grocy via a smartphone or tablet. There are multiple ways to achieve this. Web Browser The first and simplest method is to use the web browser on your device. Although, at least with Android devices, the browser is slightly finnicky about which address it will accept for the Home Assistant (HA) server. Using the standard homeassistant.local:8123 address results in an error message ' This site can't be reached DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. ' There appear to be known problems with Android phones ...

Grocy and its Home Assistant Add-on

The next layer of the Virtual Bean Counter software stack is the meat in the sandwich, Grocy (see Grocy system install ). As with the Home Assistant (HA) Operating System that was reviewed previously the aim of this article is to consider the support and backup options for the Grocy system as installed onto our HA virtual machine . But first a little history. Whither Grocy ? It sprang from the desire of a software developer, Bernd Bestel , to progress beyond using Excel (as we know a great spreadsheet and data analysis tool but with a limited UI) to something more fully featured by exploiting his experience with commercial inventory management. The first version of Grocy was released in 2017 and after seven years is now on its fourth full point release . However, unlike HA, it is essentially a one-man band with a single developer responsible for pretty much the entirety of the content all without stable funding (currently). That said the package is quite mature and " does wha...

Further adventures in household paper products

As the toilet rolls are up and running I couldn't resist adding the rest of the loft stocks into the mix. The next two items are kitchen roll and facial tissues . Following the same process described for toilet rolls; kitchen roll comes in a multipack, but this time a case has four packs of three rolls and we already have the storage location, shop and quantity units set up. Again, I think we'll have to set up a generic item (Parent product) as well as a specific one for the Kirkland brand rolls (Child product). So I gave it a name, Kitchen roll and a description; default storage location and shop, Loft / Costco ; a min stock amount, 3 rolls ; all the quantity units are Roll . Job done. Now for the specific product, as previously, pulling images and descriptions off the Costco website, setting up case and pack barcodes and quantity conversions between them, buying in Cases and using in Packs . But hang on, do we really want to track in packs of three? We only need a sin...
