This continues to be a serious flaw in the software. In fact, there are multiple issues related to it.  Even though you see standard reports to be cash basis, the software overrides it and the report is accrual.  Moreover, for whatever reason the pdf report does not state if it is cash or accrual.  A minor detail for intuit to add yet a big cause for embarrassment when the software is set to generate cash basis p&l and instead, without a notice, generates accrual basis. 

Classic case of software engineers not communicating with the accounting user base.
