Can anyone help in this: I'm customizing the default profit and loss report. when I filter by customers, it removes the expenses! on what basis does it do that? and why?

I have some information to share to ensure you can review the expenses transaction in no time, ahmad-aamer-stra

 

One of the important things that business owners look for is expenses. That said, showing up the expense transactions in the Profit and Loss (P&L) report is my focus here. 

 

Here are some things you can check to ensure the expenses transactions will show in the P&L report: 

 

  1. The customer must have transaction expenses within the reporting period you choose.
  2. The Distribution Account should filter it correctly. You can choose All to display all the accounts or Income/Expenses Account for specific transactions. 
  3. Other Accounting methodsRows/Columns, and Filter fields should customize precisely too.

Once confirmed and the issue continues, can I request a screenshot of your report? And what kind of expenses were not posted? Any additional information will help me investigate the problem and provide you with the most appropriate troubleshooting to take. This way, you can review your P&L report with expenditures in no time. 

 

Did you know that you can memorise your reports in QuickBooks? This will help you save time since it automatically updates every time there are newly added transactions. For more details, see this article: Memorise reports in QuickBooks.
