[GNC] Account Types

[Adrien Monteleone]

What you are looking for is something more along the lines of operational and/or cost-center accounting.

You *can* achieve that with an unconventional account tree, but you’ll encounter some oddities, like this one.

You can export your P&L to a spreadsheet to manipulate it like you want with COGS broken out separately and even add a Operating Revenue or similar line after.

Otherwise, investigate using the SQlite backend with Piecash to generate a custom P&L. (you could use Scheme within GnuCash to do this, but that is a steeper learning curve)

Regards,
Adrien
