06:59:01 <mechtilde> Hello
06:59:09 <mechtilde> I have a question about the report "Balance sheet"
06:59:45 <mechtilde> The report shows on the left side the Asset. this is ok.
07:00:22 <mechtilde> On the right side it shows on top the Liability and below the Equity.
07:01:00 <mechtilde> In Germany and I also think in europe normally we wat to hav3e the Equity on top and then the Liability
07:01:40 <mechtilde> Where can we adapt it
07:28:29 <warlord> mechtilde, the standard recommendation is to take the report contents, bring it into an editor like Word or LibreOffice, and then make it look how you need it to look.
07:28:54 <warlord> So GnuCash is doing all your calculations, but the "pretty-ifying" is done outside GnuCash.
07:33:42 <mechtilde> ok I understand
07:35:09 <mechtilde> I get several feedback that this seens to be a problem for the users and the auditors
07:35:34 <mechtilde> because they wat to get the reports direktly from the accounting systm
07:35:56 <mechtilde> system
07:50:05 <warlord> The problem is that every locale wants the reports formatted in a different "order". We cannot support 200 different formats.
07:50:28 <warlord> If you're sending them a PDF, what's the difference?
07:50:55 <warlord> If the auditors want it directly from the system, then they should be okay with the format the system gives them .
07:53:49 <mechtilde> I understand the problem thanks for the explanation
07:55:17 <mechtilde> Is the configuration part of the source code?
07:55:32 <mechtilde> or ist part auf the sheme of the reports
07:58:25 <warlord> Well, yes.. The report formatting is in the report scheme code. So it is part of the "source code", but it is in the scheme code.
08:00:18 <mechtilde> So if you have enough knowledge of sheme you can config it as you wan tit?
08:06:55 <warlord> probably, yes. But if you're writing your own reports, how is that any different (from an auditor PoV) than reformatting the report in Word?
08:08:12 <warlord> theoretically you could rewrite the report itself to give whatever bogus output you wanted.
08:08:43 <mechtilde> to minimize the possibilitys to manipulate the report
08:09:12 <mechtilde> that's the argumentation of the auditor not mine
08:09:33 <warlord> But if you're writing the scheme report, you could manipulate it there.
08:09:45 <mechtilde> I know
