I agree 100% NOT GOOD ENOUGH Quickbooks!!  Come on, it's been years of knowing this is a pain point for all users.  You can't just give the advice, "go ask your accountant" when many of us ARE ACCOUNTANT users and the answer IS NOT that we should have to dig through tons of data manually and build a spreadsheet every time we need to pull a Stmt of Cash Flows using the Direct method!

This should be on the top of your development agenda and PS: your "Cash flow" Overview/Planner is NOT a substitute, nor even a worthwhile feature right now.  Spend that time and those resources on developing a Direct Method Stmt of Cashflows.
