Hi there, @sblomquist. I'm here to help. 

 

First, the Statement of Cash Flow showcases the cash movements of your company, such as cash-in and cash-out. It adjusts for non-cash transactions if your company uses accrual accounting. On the other hand, the Profit and Loss (P&L) report displays how your company performed in terms of earnings by subtracting expenses from revenue to determine the net income or loss.

 

Since earning revenue doesn't equal cash-in and incurred expenses don't equal cash-out, the net income of your P&L report doesn't match the Statement of Cash Flow by default. Feel free to refer to this blog to know more about how both of the reports relate to each other: A Guide to Creating a Profit and Loss Statement | QuickBooks Global.

 

Next, regarding the Net Income Detail report matching your P&L report, both reports are closely related as they both deal with a company's profitability. If you run both reports with the same reporting period, accounting method, and inclusion of all relevant accounts, both reports should match. 

 

In QBDT, you can also combine reports to have an organized and better overview of your company’s financial behavior. You can refer to this article as a guide: Combine reports from multiple company files.

 

We are always here in the Community to assist you with running the Statement of Cash Flow in QBDT. We are committed to providing ongoing support. Take care.
