Actual to Budget Report

I am trying to set up the budget and have a question.  

The budget to actual P&L.  Under the headers ‘Salaries & Wages’ and ‘Bonuses’ there is a line ‘Salaries & Wages – Other’ and ‘Bonuses – other’.  They have totals in them totaling two of the sub accounts, not the header as there is no cost in the header account. Then it adds it to another sub-account.  This completely messes with what the actual total of the budget numbers actually are. What is going on and how do I fix this?

 

  I did not enter anything in the Header accounts when I loaded the budget, so I am not sure why the P&L report is incorrectly adding the budget line.  See Attachment

Actual to Budget Report

Hi there, @brockwell.

 

Let me share with you some inputs on why you're seeing these balances in your Profit and Loss report.

 

You can only input the hourly rate salaries for employees' wages  under Salaries and Wages which is the default hourly wage. Other than that, QuickBooks will automatically put it to Others transactions that's why it's showing in the Salaries and Wages-Other and Bonuses-Other sections.


You can leave it as is since you cannot edit a paycheck and the report will base on all the payroll created.

You'll also want to customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop. This way, you'll be able to pull up the details you wish to see in your reports.

 

Consider checking out this awesome help article in case you have other QuickBooks concerns, such as setting up online banking and third-party apps integration, managing employees and payroll taxes, tracking inventory and projects, etc. This way, you'll have better options on how to run your business smoothly.

 

Leave a comment below if you have clarifications. I'd be more than glad to help you achieve your goals. Have a nice day and always take care!
