A Cash Flow Analysis Report (as is currently in AccountEdge) is a necessity for me in managing my business. I have recently moved to Essentials from AccountEdge because the new Mac Catalina operating system will not support AccountEdge.
However, the one thing I really really need is a Cash Flow Analysis Report, which of course means we need to be able to save templates (or recurring transactions) in order to allow this report to function. Most business have upcoming regular items that are either payable or receivable, and these are usually regular items ie weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually. Even General Journal entries need to be able to be saved as templates or recurring transaction. For example, at the end of each financial year, there are General Journal entries to be made to reflect Accountant's figures. In Accountedge, the recurring transactions save such a lot of time!! I know bank feeds and their rules help a lot, but there are still good reasons to have forward planning ability using the Cash Flow Analysis Report and recurring transactions or templates.
So,
(1) Templates or recurring transactions need to be available (incl. General Journal Entries)
(2) Cash Flow Analysis Report
Please.
