Email Button for General Ledger and Other Financial Reports

Dear FrontAccounting Team,

I would like to submit a feature request for consideration in a future version of FrontAccounting. Currently, I am using Version 2.4.19 (Build 07.11.2025), and while the system successfully sends emails for user registration and password reset through SMTP, there is no built-in option to email General Ledger or other financial reports directly from the reporting screen.

My suggestion is to add an “Email Report” button within the report output screen for reports such as General Ledger, Trial Balance, Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, and similar financial statements. After generating a report and viewing it in PDF format, the user should have the option to click an “Email Report” button. Upon clicking, the system should prompt the user with a simple form asking for the recipient’s email address (and optionally subject and message body). Once submitted, FrontAccounting should automatically attach the generated PDF report and send it using the already configured SMTP settings.

This would significantly improve workflow efficiency, especially for companies that regularly send financial reports to accountants, auditors, directors, or branch managers. Currently, the process requires manually generating the PDF, downloading it, and then composing an email outside the system. Integrating this feature directly into the reporting module would save time and reduce repetitive manual steps.

Since SMTP configuration is already part of FrontAccounting and works correctly for system-generated emails, it seems technically feasible to extend this functionality to financial reports. The system already generates PDFs, so attaching them to an email would be a natural extension of existing capabilities.

This feature would enhance usability and make FrontAccounting more competitive with other accounting systems that allow direct emailing of financial reports. It would also maintain consistency with the existing email functionality available for sales invoices and statements.

Thank you for considering this request. I believe many users would find this enhancement valuable in their day-to-day operations.

Kind regards,
Shehroz Kaleem
