@GlinetteC"We also recognize that this feature would help make your accounting processes more efficient and that this limitation may be inconvenient to all of you."

This is more than "convenience" and "a feature request"  This goes to Quickbooks inability to create financial statements  that comply with generally accepted accounting principals and procedures that would be acceptable in an audit.  This is one of the main reasons  so many businesses "outgrow" Quickbooks quickly and move on to financial systems that provide basic capabilites.
