[GNC-dev] New balsheet (and P&L report), API considerations, and (slow?) KVP in Account.cpp

[Adrien Monteleone]

Frank,

I’ve been following this for a while, and perhaps I’m not understanding, but are the groupings just presentational?

If that’s the case, I would think the place to address this is in the report options, not the account structure. (you could use any structure you need, and easily re-group based on the rule you decide or need to follow.)

Regards,
Adrien
