Yes you can, but editing and knowledge of perl and sql is required,
which is not for the end user. For example, I need a monthly sales
journal, with all taxes, ordered by date. Not hard to do, but definetely
requiring programmation. Or I need a GL transactions report, grouped by
accounts and sorted by date. Same.

A reporting tool could take care of that and let the user picks his
preferences for Custom Reports, without requiring programming knowledge.
