Dividend payments not showing in Cash Flow report

Accounting
1

In my cash flow report I see the following warning at the top, where XXXXXXX is the exact amount I’ve paid myself in Dividends:

Your Net Cash Flows and Net Change in Cash are not balancing (Difference is: (XXXXXXX) ). This may be due to missing nominal account mappings, i.e. some cash bank entries were missing a nominal account mapping for them to be allocated to the correct heading on the report. Please review your nominal account mappings in the [Report Settings] area to ensure all nominal accounts are mapped to a category.

There are Dividend vouchers for each issue and the Current Account transaction is tagged to the respective voucher. My understanding is that dividends paid to directors should show up in the Financing Activities section of the cash flow report. So why is this not showing?

OK, so I’ve kind if created a work-around myself by adding 3102 to the Other Finances in the account mappings, but (1) why is there not a option from the drop down list for “payments to shareholders” , and (2) why is this not a default setting inthe cash Flow report anyway, given that for all Ltd companies this must be a standard practice?
