Re: 1.4.28 --- income statement messed up

Thanks for the reply.
I had struggled through with data from CoA report and a spreadsheet,
and the result was a mess which the tax authority rejected.
I now have time to "fix" it...

I don't really get why it is messed up, I did my 2014 report with 1.4 last
year..   My Current Earnings account is set to 3300 ShareCapital.
I don't think I've changed it.

My CoA looks sanely arranged to me.
1000 Current Assets
 ... a number of accounts
1500 INVENTORY Assets
 ...
1800 CAPITAL Assets
 ...

2000 CURRENT LIABILITIES
 ...


When I ask for Income statement, I get a lone:

2015-01-01
2015-12-31
        Equity
        3400 - Historical Balancing     -11.27
                           Q - Equity   -11.27
                     Current earnings   -11.27

When I ask for Balance Sheet I get something sane with
Assets, Liabilities, Equity.  (I think that I got nonsense before)

So I'm thinking that it should be set to something like "4000 SALES REVENUE",
which I'll try...  I don't see some entry which would be above the 4000 SALES
REVENUE, and also above 5000 COST OF GOODS SOLD.  CoA doesn't seem to
clearly have a tree, just a two-level hierarchy.

What bit need to be set for an account to show up in the Current Earnings drop-down?
