Account forecast beyond 12 months? #74

Open pfbreton-perso opened 2 years ago

pfbreton-perso commented 2 years ago

Hi!

I am interested by the account forecast but it would be really useful it we could define it for 24 months or 36 months. The reason behind this is that typically we have expenses that can be important once a year (ex: holidays, vacations, housing taxes or income taxes). Having forecasts that is restricted to 6 months or 12 months donèt allow us to see the reall trends going on as it will inevitably misses the recurring yearly vacation or yearly housing taxes.

I did tried to add more events but it seems that beyond 12 months the script no longer returns correct values.

Can you help out here? Thanks a lot!

Could you try CashFlow report?

The motivation for using a custom report that does what the cashflow report do is to be able to preset ranges and accounts to not have to constantly change the account to be reported by the cashflow tool and have flexibility on the range.

The cashflow tool has the following limitations:

if the cashflow tools had the ability to run a daily or monthly report over 1, 2 or 3, 5 or 10 years that would be helpful.
