When I configure reports, I can easily hide sub-accounts or sub-categories BUT I loose there amount in the report : the report is not balanced any more since hidding means cancelling it from the report. A great feature would be the ability to check / uncheck an option to keep (or not) the amount in the parent account / categorie, like it does naturally on the "account" view. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sub-categories with money in them 2. Hide them in a custom report 3. The money has vanished from the report Actual Results: 3. The money has vanished from the report Expected Results: I would like the money to show up in the parent account Very usefull for taxe declaration preparation.
By "hiding" do you actually mean not including them by unchecking them on the configuration page? As you realize, that is not hiding them, it is not including them at all. I think one way to describe what you want is to have separate "include" and "display" checks for each account/category/... Have you tried exporting the report to excel? It would still be work, but not require manually redoing the sums.
Yes, I do actually mean not including them by unchecking them on the configuration page. I do realize that for now it is not only hiding them, but not including them at all : this is my concern since I believe I'm not supposed to suppress an account in a balanced double entry book. Choosing betwin "include" and "display" checks for each account/category/... would be perfect. I will definitely consider exporting my reports to open office : I believe this will be the best workaround for me now.
As I'm working on a calc sheet as a workaround, I'm also considering this : there could be 2 types of amounts in each account / categorie : the amount of the account / categorie itself AND the cumulative amount of all sub accounts / categories of each of them. This sounds great to me : Example : Account : amount / cumulative ammount Assets : 0 / 101,000 Buildings : 0 / 100,000 Building 1 : 10,000 / 10,000 Building 2 : 90,000 / 90,000 Money : 0 / 1,000 Check account : 500 / 500 All saving accounts : 0 /1,000 saving account 1 : 500/ 500 saving account 2 : 500 / 500 Credit card : - 500 / -500 (assuming that credit card has been set as a sub-asset with a negative value, and not as a liability)
(In reply to Hugo from comment #2) While I am not formally trained in accounting, I don't think there is any problem suppressing accounts in a report. In fact, I don't see this as suppressing anything, you are just reporting summary information, not full details.
KMM is a double entry accounting software : if you use it accordingly, all entries and outs should balance. If an account is suppressed, you're then off balance.
