Topic: Revisit Date Form Field defaults on report requests

Please revisit the logic behind and the choice of default date field values on all report requests before next release.

The following test scenario is used:
Active Fiscal Year: 01-01-2011 to 31-01-2011
Current Real Year: 2012 no entries or fiscal year defined for it yet

Browse to:
/reporting/reports_main.php

Check out each date field default that is illogical on each link.

Start Date should not be earlier than start Date of current active fiscal year for company.
End Date should not exceed last date of current active fiscal year for company.

All
  Customer -> Print*
  Supplier-> Print*
  Manufacturing -> Print*
reports have no Start or End Date defaults when no transactions exist.

Re: Revisit Date Form Field defaults on report requests

I think you sould be able to select date in the reports across fiscal years.

This is important for GL transactions belonging to assets accounts.

Also for dimensions over more than one year. If you use the dimensions as projects you will want that.

Remember that the reports do not harm any db fields. And the freedom to select over fiscal years make FA unic.

Across Fiscal years is okay. Across non existant fiscal years is not okay....
