Brought forward in Transaction Reports

[Sandro C Grech]

I think you need to close the previous year end as is a profit and loss account.
Use year end close

Subject: Brought forward in Transaction Reports

Hello,

I am Gnucash user from about 1 and half year. (But I am not accountant, so pardon me if I missed something very obvious).

This year I intend use report (transaction) option provided for printing book directly.

I have this scenario:

Lets say there is Asset Account called "Advance Professional Tax".

Financial year starts 01-Apr-2013 and ends 31-Mar-2014. But my Gnucash contains previous year entries as well.

On 31-Mar-2013 (that is previous year end) there was balance of 10000.00.

Lets say this financial year I had transaction (debit) of 2000.00 on say 31-Oct-2013

When I generate report, it just shows one entry. i.e.:
Date         Description        Amount      Balance
31/10/2013   Professional Tax   2000.00     8000.00


(Here it does not make explicitly clear from where balance of 8000 came!)


What I want is it should show "Brought Forward" entry as well for clarity. i.e:

Date                 Description        Amount      Balance
1/04/2013    Brought Forward    10000.00    10000.00

31/10/2013    Professional Tax     -2000.00    8000.00 

First entry (10000.00) does not really exist in account. But I want it to be printed for clarity.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.


Amm
