Topic: Display All Parent Chart Type (Multilevel Chart of Account Case)

Hello everybody,

I'm new in FA. I have a problem related to display Chart of Account (COA) in dropdown.

My COA structure is like below ( mark * means chart type)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1    ASSETS *
11    CURRENT ASSET *
1101    CASH EQUIVALENT *
110101    PETTY CASH  *
11010101    PETTY CASH COMPANY

But after I insert those chart types and the chart of account itself, I get only first parent display in dropdown

My dropdown display
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PETTY CASH
        PETTY CASH COMPANY

If I create another one COA with chart type CASH EQUIVALENT, dropdown would be like this

CASH EQUIVALENT
         NEW COA
PETTY CASH
        PETTY CASH COMPANY

What I want to achieve is like below ( * is chart type)

CURRENT ASSET *
        CASH EQUIVALENT *
                 NEW COA
                 PETTY CASH *
                         PETTY CASH COMPANY

How could I achieve dropdown display to include all of parents?

Thank you for your helps smile

There is no way  to complete multilevel select lists in pure HTML, so we have to live with it.

Maybe you can stick them in set of numbers. That way, its easier for grouping and displaying? Like an example:

10000000    ASSETS *
11000000   CURRENT ASSET *
11010000    CASH EQUIVALENT *
11010100    PETTY CASH  *
11010101    PETTY CASH COMPANY

Just a suggestion

@itronics
I see Janus. Yep, maybe I should stick with it.
