I have a client who has entered a Bill in October for $39.95. They did a Bill-Payment of $39.95 in November. When the client opens the P & L Statement (Cash Basis) for October, the expense is showing as $0.21. When the P & L Statement (Accrual Basis) for October is generated, the report shows the expense of $39.95. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix the Cash Basis report?

Let me provide some information about running reports in the Cash and Accrual methods. Then help you fix the discrepancy showing on the statement.
The Cash Basis report only shows income when cash is received and expenses once they’re paid. Meanwhile, the Accrual Basis shows income regardless of when the money is received or paid. For more details, you can browse this article: Differentiate Cash and Accrual methods.
Since there’s a $0.21 amount showing on the expense (Cash basis), you’ll have to check the transaction history to see if there’s a credit applied to the bill. It only takes a few clicks to do this in QuickBooks.
Here’s how:
If there’s no credit linked to the bill, it’s a good idea to run the Rebuild and Verify Data utilities. These are built-in tools used to identify integrity issues in the company file. Before doing so, always create a backup copy of the file to prevent accidental loss.

Thank you for your response. I was able to figure that this was happening because of a credit in the entry.
