I am not sure, but I don't know where this column should exist. The only thing 
that exists is the capability to show all details of either all transactions 
(that is an option in the view menu) or the one that currently has the focus 
(we call this feature ledger lens).

There is another feature request which asks to display a column that contains 
the VAT value of a transaction. Yet another column which we need. Looks we're 
running out of screen estate.

In the world of open source you decide if you want t open a feature request. 
If the devs are busy and don't find the time to judge it for you, you still 
have the liberty to open it.

The KMyMoney community is pretty professional when it comes to handle those 
bug entries. We don't start a flame war if something is wrong. We will let the 
poster know and discuss issues. No need to stick your head into the sand.

BTW: a mockup as how you envision this feature is a good idea. Please consider 
all other features the program has.
