[GNC] Household monthly reporting

[Steve Waltner]

For the Cash Flow report, transactions are reported in the report if they go to an account not listed in the account list for the report. If your Credit Card Liability account is not listed in the account list on the report, you will see a “single” monthly payment to the credit card paying the balance of the card, but not the individual transactions that ran up the card’s balance. If the card is listed in the account list, you won’t see the monthly payment, but you will see the transactions for items you purchased.

As mentioned, add the card to the report and try again. Run the default report, select Options, select Accounts, add your credit card accounts to the list of accounts in the report, select OK. Once the report gives the details you want, save a customized version of the report using "Reports > Save Report Configuration As…”. You can then retrieve your custom report in the future using “Reports > Saved Report Configurations”.
