Let's Add Sub Category Expenses!
Hi There,
Over at Artician.net we maintain many expenses. Currently we are trying out lessaccounting.com over quickbooks as it seems like we can, well.... do less of all the boring stuff and do what we are good at.
Anyway, I would like to request a feature of adding Sub Category expenses in the list of Expense Categories, for example: We buy hardware all the time, being able to add Memory, Hard Drives, Monitors, all under the the "Hardware" expenses category would keep things nice a tidy.
In quickbooks, when adding a new category for Expenses, or Income, before it actually adds it to the database, it will ask you if you want to make it a sub category of an existing Expense category. On the web, this can be done with a simple ajax modal window which you guys utilize already, or even in a simple Javascript alert window.
Anyway, I'm sure others would find this useful, and it would be fairly easy to implement. Thanks for listening, go lessaccounting!

Inappropriate?I'm not sure what the advantage of this is. Will you want to see a report on these sub-categories? The categories are meant to map to specific tax categories.
We have been thinking of adding tags or something to the expenses so you can (1) import tags from Wesabe, but also (2) do something like you are describing expect using tags instead of sub-categories.
What do you think?

Tags sound like a great solution! -
I may be wrong, but it seems like the tags are a good for being "project specific". I am with devnut that subcatagories would be very helpful, especially since that is how we have been organizing our information. It is helpful to pull a report and see how much we spent on "Travel", then have it broken down by "flights" "food" "rental cars" etc.. this helps see where we can cut back etc.
Is there no plans to allow for this? -
Inappropriate?Sorry to say we don't have any plans on doing sub-categories. I think you should use tags to create these types of reports.
