Buy nowHi there, @Tcbradbury2.
Thanks for joining us on this thread. I'm here to share some information about the Profit and Loss reports (P&L) in QuickBooks.
Just to clarify, may I know what version of QuickBooks you are using? I can see that this thread is tagged as QuickBooks Online (QBO), but the report you're referring to is for the Desktop version.
The P&L Budget Overview will give you all the accounts that were added in your Chart of Accounts whether or not you allocated a budget for it. While the Budget Performance will only give you the list of accounts you have created and allocated a budget for. That said, the most likely reason why it's only showing up on the P&L overview is that you haven't created or allocated an amount for that account yet.
To check this, try creating a budget for the account you've created. Once done, pull up those reports again and compare. Here's how:
1. Go to Company menu at the top, then pick Planning & Budgeting and Set Up Budgets.
2. Select Create New Budget, then specify the year and choose Profit and Loss.
3. Select whether you want to:
a. Create budget from scratch: Manually enter amounts for each account that you want to track.
b. Create budget from the previous year's actual data: Let QBDT automatically enter the monthly totals from last year for each account.
4. Once done, click Save and OK.
For your reference, you can check out this article for further guidance: Create a budget or forecast in QuickBooks Desktop.
That should answer your concern for today. Please let me know how it goes or if you're referring to something else by leaving a comment. I'm always here if you have additional or follow-up questions. Take care and have a great rest of the week.
