[GNC] Income Statement for specific Asset Account ?

[Adrien Monteleone]

The GnuCash ‘Cashflow Report’ is misnamed because it doesn’t work like every other Cash Flow report out there. (A Cash Flow report is supposed to show the effects of cash movements that don’t get reported in the P&L) It breaks down flows by special categories. There is a bug report on this. I don’t think the plan is to junk the current report, but until a proper one is made, it will retain the current name.

The GnuCash version is more like an overall in-out report, which might well be what you are looking for and yes, you can run it each month.

What you won’t see are income and expenses organized like a P&L, but you will see *all* flows in and out, even those that don’t include income or expense accounts. (like paying down a liability, it was cash-out but not an expense, so it won’t show up on the Income Statement)

You likely want to restrict the account selection for this report to just your asset accounts like a checking account and/or a cash account.

Either the Cashflow or P&L (Income Statement) can be customized with select accounts. So if you have multiple sub-entities within your household books you can still report on the activity of those entities. But that will depend on having either separate accounts for each entity in your tree, or using a field like Notes, Memo, or Description to add some sort of tag as part of the text, then filtering the report for that tag. (note, this is not official functionality of GnuCash, but it is possible to do)
