Thanks Alan. Yes, knew that. I am certainly no accountant, but manage to bumble along.
I think it might be possible to set the defaults in the setup file, but honestly have not looked. What I would like is to be able to define the Financial Year start/Financial Year end in setup so it always defaults to the current financial year ()which in Australia´s case is 1 July to 30 June). I wonder how many other countries have non-Calendar year Financial years? I guess the UK might copy us seeing we seem to copy their laws in our early days. regards, Doug n Sat, 9 Oct 2021 13:32:07 +1100 Alan Hopkins <hopp...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Doug > > Nice to hear from another Aussie PCLOS & GNUCash user! > > I have the same version of GNC as you (as that's what is in the repo!) - I > haven't been using GNC for long but I set the accounting period in the > Preferences as Absolute to 1st July 20 to 30 Jun 21 (ie last fin year) and it > defaults the reports (Beginning & End of Accounting Period) to the correct > dates.
