I know thats how I have done it right now.
But I am from India where recently GST taxatio was introduced.
I have managed to configure Gnucash for the same.
For GST return filing Government needs many types of reporting every month.
Report for 3 types of taxes (IGST/CGST/SGST)
Report for trade payable (purchase+tax)
Report for trade receivable (sale+tax)
Report for taxable sales
Report for taxable purchase
Then there are reports for sale/purchase to/from GST dealers
And then same reports for dealers not registered under GST
As you can see there are almost 11-12 types of reports that we have
provide to Government at end of every month
Now if I create customized reports I will have:
CompanyA-Sale, CompanyA-Purchase, ... 11-12 reports
same way 11-12 reports for company B
I have 2 more companies which I have still not migrated to GST
So you can see the report list will be too long when I open "Saved
report configuration"
That is why I was asking if it is possible to have:
1) saved-reports per company
2) OR saved-reports storing FULL account name - for example
Assets:Purchase:IGST insted of account ID.
I believe 2nd option would be much better as then we dont need to create
separate reports for each company.
Infact both 1 and 2 can be implemened, if possible that would allow to
store reports in a better way and also make them REUSABLE.
Thanks and regards,
Amish
