Description

First let me say I love Moneydance. I am a CPA and I really like the software. However I have issues with the Reporting features. This program needs fully customizable reports. For example I should be able to generate a report based upon my own parameters. This request is due to the following issues. 1. The Budget report only reports sub account balances which have an amount budgeted for them. The report does not appear to be generated based upon actual expenses. For example if I spend $10 on Dining and I have a $100 Dinning budget line item my $10 will show up in the budget report. But if I speand $10 on Dining and I have not included Dinning as a subcatagory in my budget, then the report will show that I have not spent anything on Dining. I hope this is making sense. If money is spent in sub catagories other that budgeted catagories they don't show up in the budget to actual report. As a result, the Actual expenses in the buget report do not agree with expenses in the income and expense report. 2. Is it possible to create a budget for only one account, ie my checking account, without picking up transactions related to other accounts, ie expenses in credit cards? This would be a great feature. 3. Cash Flow report. I think it is great that you can select the account you want to use, however the report does not include any subtotaling to say: Total inflows or Total outflows. Additionally, if I am doing a cash flow I would like to have an opening balance and and Ending balance and then all the activitiy reported sums to the change in opening and closing balances. For me these issues are critial due to fact that these are the only type of reports which allow you to monitor monthly activitiy and cash flows.
