Good morning, devs I'm opening a topic to discuss the practice to have main sections placeholders accounts in charts of accounts.
In the embedded charts of accounts using those seem to be the standard, so in every chart of accounts are there placeholder accounts for: - Equity - Liabilities - Assets - Revenues - Expenses This behaviour seems to be obvious but it can be counterproductive when creating reports because all reports have sections header and only for some of those you can choose if to show sections headers or not. I am preparing a chart of accounts useful for Italian small no-profit organizations, trying to comply with new Government's rules and I'd like to discuss this topic before committing the chart. Ordering accounts can be made by assigning codes to accounts (I do this starting the account code with letters and numbers used in the Government report standard for sections and subsections) More: I think it could be useful to use colours to mark different kind of accounts (or accounts in different sections) to help people to understand what kind of account they are importing/using. I have just found this company's work on the net but I don't think is there a defined standard somewhere ([1]https://www.coloraccounting.com/) but it seems Gnucash Documentations discourages to embed colours in chart of accounts' templates. As fell suggested ([2]https://lists.gnucash.org/logs/2020/12/13.html#T04:11:12), let's discuss this topic.
