Cash flow statement options

Question

I have started with a blank chart of accounts in MYOB Business and am adding accounts. I had no problem with asset, liability and equity accounts, but find that for income and expense accounts I can't specify where cash transactions involving these accounts would appear in the cash flow statement. There are already some accounts included and these also do not have that field available. Does the program automatically classify these transactions as Operating or does the MYOB cash flow statement not include these transactions?&nbsp;

I am also having problems with the cash flow reporting.&nbsp; It includes depreciation and inventory movements and there doesn't seem to be a way to exclude these from the Cash Flow report. Makes a nonsense of the answer.
