    Hi community, we appreciate your insights on this idea. We recognise that having depreciation excluded from the Cash basis P&L can limit how useful the report is for understanding overall business performance.

    The distinction you’ve highlighted between a cash basis Profit and Loss report and a Statement of Cash Flows is a helpful one and gives us a better sense of why this feature matters for your reporting and compliance needs.

    For now, creating manual journals is the only available option to include depreciation in cash basis reports. While not ideal, it’s a feasible approach if you need to reflect these adjustments.

    We want to be upfront here that this isn't something we have roadmapped right now, and not likely to be planned soon.

    This may be something we revisit in the future and will make sure to share any updates if the situation changes.

    Many of our clients use cash basis - It is getting very hard to setup the fixed assets first and then go through the process of entering the depreciation through a manual journal. Please FIX it.
