Balance sheet with account numbers from 2 different countries

If you need to present your accounting data to two national authorities, you might find it very useful to know that with Banana Accounting Plus you can assign to each of your accounts two account numbers, one for each country. Also when printing your Balance Sheet you can choose which set of account numbers to print (or print them both).

Let's take as an example the case when you have and accounting plan setup for Switzerland and you want to add a new set of account numbers that so you can also print your reports for Germany.
You need to proceed as follows:

  1. Adding the German Account number column.
    • Go to the Accounts table
    • From the Data menu choose the Column Setup command
      • Press the Add New Column button and enter the following data
        • Name: AccountDE.
        • Type: Text (always choose Text even if you use only numbers).
      • Position the column where you like by pressing on the Move Up or Move Down buttons, then confirm with OK.
      • In the accounting plan, for each account, you can now also enter the German account number.
        This work take a little time at the beginning but it is more than worthwhile since you will be able to get your reports with a click.
  2. Getting the Enhanced Balance sheet and Profit and Loss statement with German account numbers:
    • From the Reports menu choose the Enhanced Balance sheet with groups command
    • Go to the Column section
    • In the Balance Sheet section, press the Advanced button
    • Press the Add button
    • Check the column of the column you have added, in this case the AccountDE column
    • Position the column where you like by pressing on the Move Up or Move Down buttons, then confirm with OK.
    • Repeat the same process for the Profit and Loss statement portion
    • Once this is done you can press the OK button and you will get your report with the DE accounts

In the same way you can add columns for accounts  for other countries.

If you want to have a Balance Sheet printed with only the accounts number for one country, it is advisable to create personalized printouts: one for Switzerland and one for Germany, so you don't have change the printing settings every time.
