Actually, couldn't you make multiple Income accounts per region? Eg Income:Region:Type.. That might work, but would mean you need to enter the right region when building the invoice instead of having it automated.

As there are comprehensive address fields for the customer database it would be wonderful if these could be used to compile a report. I could, working forward, categorise sales by location/product but that would mean duplicating each product for each location, and doesn’t solve the issue of a retrospective review.

Perhaps use of jobs could help?

If jobs were named per location, or included location in the job name or
description?

A customer could have multiple locations indicated by job.

The thing I don't know is whether reports can sort on job names or
descriptions 🤔

Kind regards, Greg Feneis

David,

I'm not sure how you would do that.  Customers are just a flat database, a
list; there is no Customer Hierarchy.

Samantha,

Like David Carlson I'm not a business features user so I'm only guessing
here but can you setup your customers or Sales in a heirarchy - i.e
Customers, Customers UK, Customers Local, Customers Non UK OR Sales,
Sales
UK, Sales Local, Sales Non UK and report on them that way ?

Cheers David H.

  Subject: Re: [GNC] Creating a customer report by location

    I am a freelance translator in the UK with clients all over the
    world. In applying for advice and grants from a local
government-run
    business support agency they want to know the proportion of my
sales
    to local (county) customers, to the wider UK and as “exports”.

  Location by country for me would be sufficient (I don’t yet have any
  clients in my actual locality).

  In fact, for my purposes, a custom text field with A, B, C, D or E
  would be sufficient.

  I hope this helps and would love it if someone could come up with
  something.

  Many thanks for any pointers

  Samantha

  Hi Samantha,
  As far as I know, there is no report like that.  Indeed, I can't even
  think of a way that you could collate customers by location within
  GnuCash.  Are you thinking by State?  By Zip Code?  By some other
  means?
  Once you figure that out, then one could write a routine that sorted
  and
  collated based on that.  But to my knowledge, no such thing exists.
  I'm curious what your actual use-case is here?

    No, not unnoticed, but I do not use business features, so I waited
    to see

    if a business user would step up.

    GnuCash has no geographical data feature to use for such a report.
    You

    would have to somehow manually add appropriate information in a
text

    field,

    but reports generally only have rudimentary sorting  on text
fields,
    so

    maybe at best you could come up with a manually implemented zip
code

    scheme.

    Short answer, no.
