For the Cash Flow report, transactions are reported in the report if
they go to an account not listed in the account list for the report.
If your Credit Card Liability account is not listed in the account
list on the report, you will see a “single” monthly payment to the
credit card paying the balance of the card, but not the individual
transactions that ran up the card’s balance. If the card is listed in
the account list, you won’t see the monthly payment, but you will see
the transactions for items you purchased.
As mentioned, add the card to the report and try again. Run the
default report, select Options, select Accounts, add your credit card
accounts to the list of accounts in the report, select OK. Once the
report gives the details you want, save a customized version of the
report using "Reports > Save Report Configuration As…”. You can then
retrieve your custom report in the future using “Reports > Saved
Report Configurations”.

Nice explanation. Thanks. I think I've got it.
I selected three sources:
* Checking account
* Venmo (and yes, I treat Venmo like an account. The checking account
replenishes what I spend. )
* Credit Cards (with sub accounts)
The data seems to all be there. Spot checking finds accounts with
transactions on multiple credit cards as well as those coming out of the
checking account. The Mortgage Loan principal (liability) payment was
present, as was the Escrow debit. I consider the result to be quite usable.
The only nit is that, at the top, we find this:
Cash Flow - 08/01/2025 to 08/31/2025
Selected Accounts
* 200-Liabilities:Credit Card
<gnc-register:acct-guid=2a67c0ea65224d0599e16e34d4f00dd5#>and
selected subaccounts
I don't see the checking account or Venmo, even though I can tell that
it's treating them as selected. This was confusing. I kept going back to
see if they were selected, and they are.
Anyway, I consider that I have a successful report and I thank you, and
all who responded.
