I use Fiscal Year (GnuCash term) ending 30 June reporting (ie 1 Jul 2020 - 30 Jun 2021 is 2021 year). Tax reports are prepared in the following Fiscal Year so I use reports on current and previous year, and two year's previous year for verification. Since tax reporting is on a Fiscal Year basis business tends to align that way so I'm more familiar with those periods and use them for analysis too. (To put it another way, I hardly recognise the same data by calendar year.)
Change year for one report instance requires: Options, General, Start Date, Dropdown calendar, clicks to year, clicks to month, clicks day, End Date, Dropdown calendar, clicks to year, clicks to month, clicks day, Apply. The existing calendar year periods seamlessly extend fiscal years with a setting. The development environment is another thread but fortunately, Guile is interpreted so I've tested the code by hacking it into my installation and it works with a hardcoded Fiscal Year month. My function *optionally* extends existing current and previous calendar year reporting functionality to fiscal years ie existing code runs without change. An optional parameter needs to be added to gnc:make-date-option to allow the parameter to be used. That code is too complex for me to understand given the documentation and my current level of understanding. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
