@Michael. Thank you for the response.
I have toggled through all the options in the reports. Selecting and deselecting
subtotals. I have also tried putting the individual stocks at different levels in the
hierarchy. No matter the "options" setting or how many levels of hierarchy I
put the stocks in, it seems that the report is alway treating each stock as a first level
hierarchy. Thus far, I have been unable to produce a Balance Sheet without it listing
every single individual stock in the report.
Does this make sense? Thanks again for your help.
Not exactly making sense since contrary to my experience. So let me ask
some questions.
Report options are specific to a report run (not general settings).
Which should make sense as soon as you think about it for a moment. You
might not want the same options for different reports or even for
different runs* of the same report. Are you running the report and THEN
(with that report "open") applying the Report Options? If not, THAT is
what you need to do.
I will repeat, contrary to my experience and this adjusting nesting
level of report to show desired level of detail is something I most
certainly do. For example, the board of directors might want to see the
total amount of "goods inventory" but not how much is left of which
batch of tee shirts, etc. Similarly with things like the "fixed assets"
they would want to see how much remains on the books for the total,
POSSIBLY how much each piece of equipment, but don't care to see
basis-accumulated depreciation levels.

in order to fill out tax forms not the same << non-profits might not PAY
tax but they have filings to do >> Thus the board wants to see how much
we paid contractors in total but not how much each (and if over $600 for
the year need to do a 1099-MISC for them).
