Expense account not showing on P&L

smorgan01 · ‎February 16, 2023

I have an expense account for Utilities with two sub-accounts. One is Electricity and the other is Water and Trash. I create a bill each month for the Water and Trash. The Electricity is on auto-pay on my credit card. I have double checked that the charge on my credit card is assigned to Utilities:Electricity. When I run my monthly P&L report the Water and Trash charge shows under Utilities but the Electricity is not on the report. I also have an expense account for Telephone Expense that is on auto-pay. This charge shows up on the P&L and it is handled exactly like the Electric bill.

Let's get this sorted out, smorgan01.

You'll need to check the date reporting period and verify the difference between the cash and accrual accounting methods. Performing this will help us confirm the accuracy of the details shown when running the report.

If you get the same result, you can read this article for more troubleshooting steps to fix minor data issues in your desktop account: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
