The first issue is that the receivable does not belong on the P&L, a receivable is on the balance sheet

So you can appreciate my confusion then?

I understand where you're coming from, @craccbus.

I've got some insights on what transactions appear in a certain report.

When you pull up the Profit & Loss report, you'll be able to see income and expense transactions. The Accounts Receivable account only appears in the Balance Sheet.

To check on the items included in the accumulated balance of $200, I suggest pulling up the Profit & Loss report then opening the transaction specifically to review. I'll show you how:

1. Open the Reports menu from the left pane.
2. Search for the Profit & Loss report.
3. Locate the $200 transaction in question.
4. Click the amount to open. then review and make some corrections.
5. Once done, click on Save and close.
