Hi all,
Last week, I started working on getting "real" (nested) headings into
LedgerSMB as was apparently already intended in 1.3/1.4 by being able to
record a parent heading for headings.
My progress is good; in order to understand the territory (code) better, I
hacked account headings into the PNL report. However, those are
single-level headings without subtotals.
The next step will be to get multi-level headings, which I can probably get
done quickly enough. However, thinking ahead, I think I need to have
"account categories" on the account headings in order to be able to
implement subtotals:
Since both income and expenses are converted to positive numbers, it'd be
required to know what the type of header is, in order to correctly show the
sign. This can't be derived from the accounts on lower levels, because at
some point in the hierarchy, the header will have both Income and Expense
account children. E.g. Gross Margin. If I had to automatically deduce the
account category for this account -- which has both income and expense
account children, it'd be Equity (being a subtotal below "Result for the
year").
Should I implement automatic derivation of the sign from the types of
accounts below a heading or should we make it user-input?
