I have set up my statements in the financial reporter using account groups and further allocated by ranges. For example:
Income statement - Expenses - Salaries & Benefits. When I open my Income Statement I see the Expense heading and the related ranges that I set up below. I can either expand to individual accounts or collapse to the "Salaries & Benefits" range. This has worked wonderfully until now because I have had one salaries account and one benefits account per department. I have now have had to further subdivide both my salaries and my benefits into even more account codes which I can group into the ranges previously set this is not the problem. The problem is that when I print my statements and expand to see the details I cannot pool all of my new multiple salaries or multiple benefits accounts into a "salaries number" and a "benefits number" all I can do is to now present all of the multiple accounts which is not what management wants to see and is skewing the budget figures that are not broken down to such detail. It seems like an all or nothing senario. Can I group a set of accounts to appear as a pool in the expanded statement format while not pooling others as the indivdual account details are required for some but not all of the aspects within the same statement. Confusing I know but it would be a great help to maintain my GL detail without messing with management's required reporting. Ie: reporting salaries as "salaries" and not as "part-time, full-time, casual etc". OR is there a way to create a total line on the expanded statement and hide the individual accounts within a range within a group?
