Good luck creating a build. Branch at https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/500 or https://github.com/christopherlam/gnucash/tree/maint-csv-export
I've amended the report options to be simpler; only 3 accounts selections are needed: - sales accts - default to income and A/Receivable, can also select any other acct type (eg liability/loans???) - purch accts - default to expense and A/Payable, can also select any other acct type (eg capital asset) - tax accts - default to nil, select VAT (EC&non-EC) asset/liability accts. In addition, sales&purch accts whose description contain *ECGOODS* are counted separately for boxes 8 and 9 And tax accts are also handled differently depending whether *ECVAT* exists in description. There may be a more elegant way to select them. The CSV output is sound though. Should the sales&purch accts be limited? eg sales can be INCOME/AR/LIABILITY only? ditto purch = EXP/AP/ASSET only?
