I seem to be missing the Project Revenue Summary Report in my report inventory

Thank you for sharing the details of your concern, Jan. I appreciate the time you took to explain your observations.

You are correct that it's not possible to delete a standard report from the main library in QuickBooks Online (QBO). This is a system design limitation to ensure standard reports remain available for users.

In QuickBooks Online Accountant, not all standard reports available in regular QBO subscriptions, such as the "Project Profitability Summary", are included due to structural differences. Unlike regular QBO subscriptions, it prioritizes tools for managing client files over providing access to all standard reports found in your clients' accounts.

Although the Project Profitability Summary report isn't directly available in your accountant subscription, you can create a custom report to analyze project profitability. By filtering for specific project-related data, such as revenues and expenses, you can generate a report tailored to your needs. Once saved, it can serve as both a reusable template for future use and a reliable tool for demo videos, ensuring you can still achieve similar results effectively.

Feel free to return to this thread if you have additional questions.

Greetings Jan!

You’re right that the “Project Profitability Summary” report is part of the standard report library in QuickBooks Online, but it only appears in company files that actually have at least one active project with transactions linked to it.

Even though you’ve turned on Projects in Account and Settings, your accountant (demo) company may not have any real project data yet. Until you create a project and tag at least one income and one expense transaction to it, the report won’t show up in your list.

Try this quick test:

• Create a sample project.
• Add an invoice or expense to that project.
• Go back to the Reports tab and search “Project Profitability Summary.”
• It should appear after that.

You’re also correct that you can’t delete standard reports from QuickBooks, so nothing’s missing permanently — it just becomes visible once project data exists in that company file.
