Extending a warm welcome to you, tjensen, as the newest member of our QuickBooks Community forum. It’s great to have you here, and I look forward to collaborating with you. To help you get started, I’d like to share some important information about how these accounts function and their significance in your financial reporting.
The reason why the Factory Commission account is grouped within the Sales account is that it is associated with your items or products and services. In this case, I recommend verifying the item or products under the Factory Commission account. If the specific item should appear in your Factory account, you'll need to review the item and change the associated Income account. To do this, navigate to the Products and services page, find the item in question, and click Edit. A new window pops up, and from the Sales section, locate the Income account dropdown list. Then, you can make the necessary changes. Once done, hit the Save green button.
Additionally, the absence of the Factory Commission account in the Profit and Loss report could be due to there being no transactions associated with that specific account category. This lack of recorded activity can prevent the account from appearing in the report, as financial statements typically only display accounts with relevant transactions within the specified reporting period.
On the other hand, if you continue to face the same issue, it's essential to focus on selecting the appropriate reporting period in your filter settings. When you set the correct date range for your report, you allow the system to pull in all relevant transactions and account activities within that specific timeframe.
If you have any questions or need clarification on specific aspects of the Profit and Loss accounts, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us by commenting below, tjensen.
