If I wanted someone to check accounts and structure, is it possible to run a detailed P&L with no activity?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi there, @gangelo.
Yes, it's possible in QuickBooks Desktop to run a Profit and Loss report with no activity to see the standard setup or structure.
In addition to my colleague's recommendation, you can customize the report to show all the accounts that have no activity.
Just click the Customize Report button on the P&L report to include all the accounts that have 0 activities.
Let me show you how:
Well done! You've run a P&L report with no activity.
Besides, you can see this option in the other statements like for Inventory, Purchases, Sales, and many more reports in QuickBooks.
Also, you can check the article provided by ReyJohn_D to learn more ways on how to customize a statement.
Additionally, to save the customization of the report, you can click the Memorize button and see it under Memorized Reports in the Reports menu when pulling it up once again in the future.

Here's how:
For more details, feel free to browse this resource: QuickBooks Desktop User and Restrictions.
Also, you can customize your reports to personalize their info and formats. Then, you'll want to memorize them to save their current customization settings for easy access.
