Join nowI entered a journal entry onto Quickbooks (entry number "AJE11") and put the amount of 30,300 as a credit into account 478, which is listed as "other income." When I open the P&L and double click on that account number, AJE11 does not show up. I've made sure that the dates are all accurate and I've already tried restarting my computer. I'm using Quickbooks Premier - Accountant Edition 2020.
I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hello, melshimizu.
Thanks for adding the screenshots! Good work on ensuring the dates are correct on your report. I'll add a couple of solutions to help you show the journal entry on your P&L.
First thing to look out for is the Report basis. This can affect how the transactions (including journal entries) are shown on your report. Depending on what "478 - Misc. Income" is, the entry might not show up under Cash or Accrual.
In this case, you'll want to change the basis to Accrual or Cash. In the Profit & Loss report, simply select either options.
Another thing to look out for is a possible data integrity issue. This might be the likely culprit for the disappearing transaction on reports. To fix this, let's run the Verify and Rebuild utility. Here's how:

Switching to accrual fixed the issue. Thank you for your help!
