Where can I find the amount listed in cash basis balance sheet under A/R category? I cannot figure out why this amount is there.

I find no transactions that match this amount, and it does not match any owed invoices. I cannot click on it for it to bring me where it got the information from. Thank you!!

Sending good vibes to you, @SDM2. Let me help you with your concern.


When you pull up a Balance Sheet report, ensure the following are set correctly:

  • Report period.
  • The accounting method.
  • Check or uncheck unrealized gain or loss.

To review your Account Receivable on a cash basis Balance sheet, you can follow the steps:

  1. Go to Reports.
  2. Locate and open the Balance Sheet report.
  3. Select the amount listed for the Accounts Receivable account to open Transaction Report for that account.
  4. Make sure the report period is a match to your Balance Sheet report.
  5. Select Run report.

To verify the amount in the Balance Sheet report you can pull up a quick report of Account Receivable.

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Accounting tab on the left panel and choose Chart of Accounts.
  2. On the Filter by name tab you can type Account Receivable.
  3. From the View register drop down select Run Reports.
  4. Make sure the Report period is match to the Balance sheet report.
  5. Review the total amount of the last transaction if it is match to the total balance in the Balance sheet.
