I have set up a Control Account for Listed Investments and selected Special Accounts. I have added Special Accounts and posted transactions. In the Balance Sheet and Trial Balance I have one line - Listed Investments $xxxx All that is great and works very well. I can print the Balance Sheet and…

What kind of report are ou looking for for the control account? [image] Tsesebe: If I drill down in the Trial Balance I can right-click and print a list When drilling down, don’t right-click, just click. The best way to see information about subsidiary ledgers in a control account is from th…

Thanks. But I have not explained well. When I view a trial balance or any other report on the screen there are buttons for Edit/Print/Pdf/Email. All good. When I click on a Control Account I get an excellent list on the screen but there are no Print/PDF/Email buttons. If I right click on that s…

[image] Tsesebe: When I view a trial balance or any other report on the screen there are buttons for Edit/Print/Pdf/Email. That is because you are viewing a report. The same is true of all transaction forms. Reports have defined output formats. Transactions are viewed through themes. [ima…

Thanks Tut. As an experiment I set up a share portfolio initially in the balance sheet and then, after your help, via a control account. Both work well on the screen but, as you correctly point out, using control accounts is less cluttered. At the end of a financial period most accountants would…

Yes, I agree. But, based on the complete lack of acknowledgement of my request by anyone “in authority” @lubos I don’t see it happening too soon. As I have repeatedly stated as a very experienced Australian CPA, a General Ledger Report is definitely needed in a financial accounting package … and i…

Thanks Tut but this discussion seems to have got off track. Exporting is not the answer and I have no idea where the idea of charting or analysis has come from. This programme is brilliant and I think it will be a game changer for small business. However, there is a need to be able to present ver…

[image] Tsesebe: I have no idea where the idea of charting or analysis has come from. That was just another example of how it’s not possible to satisfy every user’s desire for various kinds of output. You happen to want (apparently) a tabular presentation. Others might want a graph. The point…

Sorry, you have not understood. I find your reply a bit offensive. I am not sure what is the problem. The report exists in the programme now! The format of the report that is currently printable in the system via right click is perfect except for two tiny things - a name of the entity and the re…
