Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-6646:
-------------------------------------
Hard coding reports structures might prove too limiting regarding the needs in various countries and/or organisations. Maybe we should try to exploit XBRL (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBRL) for various management reports in a separate component. XBRL seems to be a standard in the FICO reporting world.
> Option either to show parent GL account in accounting reports (BS & IS) or to customize the report

> Currently, balance sheet and income statement only show lowest level / child GL accounts having at least one transaction, hence a balance, in a period. However, as an end user, I find it is necessary to show all Parent GL accounts which balance is the sum of all its child accounts.
> For us, they are more than just to show up in the "Navigate accounts" section. They are main sections of our own reports. The standard format of reports in Ofbiz is too condensed and the users do not have the option to customize this.
> I have tried to customize the Income Statement by creating some new GL account classes e.g "Non Operation Expenses" via Entity Data Maintenance but they don't show up in Income Statement. So I guess it is not that straightforward to customize reports.
