Budget reports

[jamo]

Is there a way to make a report with the budgets and the actual spending on accounts? I use version 6.6.2.

Do you mean a report printout?

 

[jamo]

Yes, in fact I do. I now enter a budget for each account, but I do not find a way to compare these with the actual spending. Let's sa I enter a budget for 2011 on the account "Holidays", I would like to see what is actually spend every now and then.

You mean the printout is incomplete. What do you expect? I mean, what do you want to see in that printout?

 

[jamo]

If you look at the Profit and Loss Statement, you see the actual spending for each account and/or catergory in a given period of time. When you add a column to the right which shows the budget for that account and/or category, you have a complet report about the status of your spending.
An extra column showing teh percentage of spending would also be nice.

When you have more than one budget defined, the ability to select what budget to show in the "Budget-column" would be necessary.

Good idea, I take note of it.

I just upgraded to version 7. Is ther any news on this suggestion?

 

[stanbusk]

I took note of your request and built a project. It is now pending development.

 

[jamo]

Ok, so we wait for development. I thought you were development as well :wink:
