Cross-reporting ?

[Thiers Botelho]

That's it.

101.01
202.01
....01

Which would meet my needs squarely and nicely.

Ahhh....divisions!

 From what I have seen in accounting programs, this feature, along with 
the ability to run a report showing activity for parallel periods on the 
same page are just as important as being able to invoice customers.

In using divisions,  I have commonly seen accounting packages format 
their accounts like so:

xxx.yy

xxx = account number

yy = division.

As a result of organizing the accounts in this manner, reports can be 
run that only show accounts that have the same "yy"

101.01
202.01

Etc.

The same can be done with names instead of numbers I would think, but 
again I am not a programmer.

I don't know how difficult it would be to add this feature, but the 
program will have to have it to be siriously considered for business use.
