Hiya Renata2 :waving_hand:.  Yes, that's correct assets should not show on the P&L, An easy way to look at: When you buy an asset, your business isn't losing money ( expense) it's moving the value to somewhere else. So you're saying I no longer have 1k in my bank but I own 1k laptop that can be sold to get it back.

Income and expenses - show on P&L

Assets, Liabilities, and Equity on the Balance sheet

& all of the above will show on a trial balance. :D

Hi Renata2,

 

Thanks for joining us here on the Community :waving_hand:

 

How you categorise these is entirely dependant on how detailed you'd like to see the costs of your expenses split on your reporting. 

 

For instance, you could create separate expense-type accounts for the hand sanitizer and hangers, or you could group these together under a general account such as business supplies.

 

The Chart of Accounts are entirely customisable meaning you can create as many or as few as you require. To create a new account, simply select Accounting > Chart of Accounts > New. If you're unsure of the specific account and detail type you should be using, we'd recommend speaking to your accountant for help setting these up.

Hi i have another question.

 

I found out that  Tangible assets can be used for Equipment that I purchased like Scale, Hanger Rail, Laptop.

Here question. Why I don't see this expense in profit loss and balance report with other expenses?

Its under Total Tangible assets is that correct?
