If we create more than one account or profiles, carry forward is not working?

We have disabled the carry forward option when you have multiple accounts because it would cause confusion as the amount will be summed up from all the accounts and so we have given the daily income and expenditure.
We have provided the 'View balance' option in the menu which will show the balance in each account on the current day.

Go to monthly or yearly tab - click on pdf- New pdf layout shows - scroll to the right(All, Month, Year, custom date range). Choose custom date range start and end dates as per your wish.
