I searched the help for information on account codes but all I found was: https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=3&lang=C&doc=help
I thought there used to be a lot more information than that. I know that you can use account codes in the account fields when editing transactions instead of the tedious full tree account names. Unfortunately, you cannot make the account drop-down-list show the account code numbers, you have to 'just know' them. I didn't find a reference to that. As for sub totals in reports, I know that there is a developer working on improving reports as some of them are not very useful in their present state. I am not sure how much of his work has currently been released.
