Currently when you run a GST report and look to review whether the GST coding is correct (Standard, Exempt) the detailed transactions are in date order and consequently the GST treatment jumps back and forward between B and E treatments. This is very hard to review! Particularly for large organisations and/or detailed coding of each supplier's invoice. I acknowledge that you can then use the dropdown arrow to sort the transactions so they are listed as all of the B (Standard) first and then E second. But when you do that sort it consolidates all of those into the one total and you then have to click on another dropdown arrow to list them out line by line for review. I know it is only a few more clicks each GST return period! But is darned annoying to have to now do that when you didn't have to before! Some people might like to review their GST transactions in date order but I would suggest this would lead to more errors because every time you change from B to E, to E to B you are having to adjust your thinking. It is much more efficient to sort the transactions into the two separate groups before reviewing because then the 'odd ones out' are very obvious. That way you are reviewing by exception, not every single transaction, for what can be 40 pages + of detail ! To retain flexibility so that people can set up the report to review it how they like, can an option be added so that you can set your own default setting for the GST report?
