Account Schedules - adding headers and blank lines

Posted on by 15

In preparing our account schedules, we want to add headers and blank lines to obtain a more professional look to our financial statements.

I can do this by adding posting lines and changing Show column to 'Yes".

My dilemma is that our numbering format is set to "Accounting format, no currency".  This makes the report look more professional and adds dashes when amounts are zero to allow your eyes to follow along on a page without jarring blank gaps when items have no value.

Unfortunately, this also adds dashes to any headers and blank lines I've created because account schedule only allows you to add a formula, posting or totalling type which forces it to also generate a numeric value of 0.00.

Is there a way around that without losing the ability to place dashes in places where the values are legitimately zero?

I should mention that the chart of accounts lets you assign header type and # blank lines in the individual g/l accounts, but these do not seem to have any bearing in the account schedules.

    To add blank lines, simply leave the row no. and description empty. I actually entered through the totaling type.

    In the NA version we don't have an option for "Accounting format, no currency" in BC so our columns are empty when the amount is zero. So this may not help you
