Missing transactions in reports

Hello, Jmbarnette.

Here to give an overview about how Cash and Accrual basis affect the reports. 

There are some reports that don't display accrual-related transactions (bills and invoices) when they are set to Cash basis. One prime example is the Profit and Loss report.

This is a normal behavior since those transactions aren't technically hitting your books yet under Cash basis. They'll only appear if the bills have been paid (both in Cash or Accrual basis). The payment date will show instead of the bill date. 

If your organization wants to see all of the bills (regardless if they are paid or not), you'll want to run the Transactions List by Vendor report instead. Here's how: 

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Hover on Vendors & Payables.
3. Select Transaction List by Vendor.
