Hi Nigel; It would help me if I understood specifically what your reporting requirements were. I would be happy to look over them.
Anyway my plans on the patch are: 1) Officially maintained add-on for 1.3 2) A more generic system of defaults per customer for 1.4, and merging it in there. Hope this helps. Typically, people usually use income accounts for categories of revenue. How these are categorized is largely up to the individual setting up the books. I don't see anything *wrong* with your setup, but I also don't think it is typical. And it would only work for AR/AP transactions, it would not work so well if you were trying to sell items that were tracked in inventory. In other words it may be a reasonable way for your business to solve a problem but that doesn't mean it is a generally applicable solution. I make this distinction not as a way of saying there is a better way of doing things. If it works well for your business, that's all you need. The goal long-run is not to force a single workflow on all customers but to support every customer with their own solutions to the extent possible. Also current limitations of the software may make that difficult in some cases. So I don't think you are using the software *wrong.* I don't have enough information to say if there is a better way. So the goal here is to ensure you and every user of the software is *able* to support your own business processes, not necessarily a matter of exposing everything everyone possible wants to the interface for every user. If we go that route, the software will become a mess for everybody. I am going to open a new discussion on the users list about EU VAT stuff. That might get us all more feedback :-) Best Wishes, Chris Travers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
