Report modification for QB2004

Jul 06, 2005 4 Replies

I need to add lines on the equity account to display the number of shares authorized and number of shares issued.



Below is the example:


27000 - Common Stock - No Par Value 850 Shares Authorized; 100 shares issued

I am using QuickBooks 2004 Premier.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  1. Limiting yourself to QB only: Create one account, 27000 - Common Stock - No Par Value and a subaccount named "850 Shares Authorized; 100 shares issued".

  1. Rationalizing: QB doesn't prepare full-disclosure GAAP reports anyway, so forget about this particular limitation.

  2. Compromising: Put this and other disclosure in Notes that you prepare in Word or other software and attach to your QB report.

  1. Exporting: Export your Balance Sheet to Excel and make whatever additions and changes you wish.

  2. Investigate third-party reporting software.

Pick up the 2005 Accountant's Edition which has full financial statment reporting capabilities or one of the third party financial statement writers for QB.

Thats not nice.
