----------------------------------------------------------

@ Jacques: Hi. I'm not a developer. Is this the place for end users to report 
our issues and opinions? I ended up here thanks to Hans (from Antweb). Please 
let me know if I should demonstrate my issue further.

@ Rong: I know there is no way at the moment and end users can create their own 
reports with Excel but if reporting is a very repetitive and tedious job, it 
will be very helpful to show all parent GL accounts and their balances (the 
second option that I suggest if customization is more complicated). For 
example, one of our accountants handle 20 departments and she has to prepare at 
least 2 monthly reports (BS & IS) for each of them within the first 5 days of a 
month. That is a total of 40 reports to do in 5 days of every month.

>
> 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.
