Need custom report?

[Dorel Ciornei]

Oliver,I had many times the same issue when returning things I bought.But think how this actually happens:
When you buy you use a credit/debit card, a check or cash.When you return, the money you get back have to go in a similar account, usually back a credit to your card, or they give you cash.So when you record that 'deposit' you select your expense account used to record the transaction in the first place.You can make a note that the transaction is 'Returned shoes' or whatever.
So it is one entry only.
When you run the report, it will show indeed that you spent 250 on shoes, then it will show a 'negative' expense of 200 (Returned shoes), total expense 50.
I find that pretty straight forward and it works for my reporting needs.
Now, if I wanted to change the way the report looks in a significant way, then I usually export it to an Excel spreadsheet.

 Thanks for your quick answer!
Maybe I am too picky, but what I do not like about the CashFlow is that

1) I cannot select the ExpenseAccounts but only the BankAccounts
2) The report does not show subtotals of the parent accounts
3) Expense Accounts appear in the Income & Expense section: Means when my
wife buys 5 pairs of shoes on Amazon to select (250EUR) and later on returns
4 of them (200EUR), I would like to see just one number: Expense:Shoes =
50EUR, and not have to manually add 2 numbers later on...

So best case I would like to combine theses reports somehow in scheme files
? plus very-best case also add the starting/ending balance of the related
accounts...

Anyone an idea?

Thanks a lot Oliver
