Finding how to make a report that includes Interest earned account.

I can't locate the Interest earned account. I don't see it on the chart of accounts and when I do a P&L it doesn't show up either. I use the box on my bank reconciliation to enter the interest dollars. I would like to know how to set this up or why it doesn't show up on a report.

When you reconcile, you select the account you want it to post to.  When you go to reconcile, what account is selected under the 'Account' drop-down for Interest Earned?  It should be an other income account called Interest Income or similar.

Finding how to make a report that includes Interest earned account.

I'd be glad to help you in running a report that includes the Interest Earned account, CS646.

 

Since you've already added the interest earned manually during the reconciliation, it will show depending on which you've assigned to.

 

To determine which account the interest was posted to, you can run a Previous Reconciliation report.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Reports, then search for Reconciliation in the search bar.
  2. Select Previous Reconciliation Report.
  3. Click Customize Report.
  4. In the Columns section, type Memo.
  5. Hit OK.

 

This way, the report will indicate the interest under the Description column.

 

Once it appears on the Reconciliation Report, it will automatically show up on the P&L report. You'll need to locate the account to which you've assigned the interest.

 

I've added a screenshot for your visual reference:

 

Furthermore, you can add or edit your columns of your reports by customizing it make it more personalized in QBDT.

 

Additionally, once you've run your P&L report, you can memorize them for you to not pull up every time you need one in QBDT.

 

Let me know if you still have concerns about running a report in QBDT. I'll be here to help you every step of the way.
