The Income by Customer Summary Report isn't pulling a few payments received for a specified month

The report you really want base the correct Sales figure is Company's Profit and Loss report. From this report, you can click revenue amount and will take to detailed sales reports.

I've tried this. But it's still not giving me what I need. For instance, We created an invoice for a customer in November. He paid half right away, with the remaining due the next month. So half of the payment hit in November, and the other half in December. But when I pull the Income By Customer, it shows the full amount in November, even though the second payment transaction was entered with the correct December date. And when I pull info for the month of December, the payment doesn't show up at all - just in the November report. I've run the Income By Customer, Sales By Customer, and Profit And Loss - same result every time. Suggestions? I need the payment to pull for the correct month so I can make sure the numbers for sales tax are accurate.

"But when I pull the Income By Customer, it shows the full amount in November, even though the second payment transaction was entered with the correct December date. "

Are you running the report based on accrual or cash basis method?

Under the accrual accounting method, you will see the income on the invoice date, whereas you switch it to cash, you should see income based on the payment date. See screenshot.

"I need the payment to pull for the correct month so I can make sure the numbers for sales tax are accurate."

For sales tax payments, if you're charging sales tax on Invoices, you should always be using the Sales Tax Center from the left dashboard. You can also the run reports from here under related tasks. Also, make it's on cash accounting basis. See screenshot below.

Also, you should be able to reconcile the reports, if you're seeing the difference between Income and Sales reports. Just make sure both reports are on same accounting method (cash) and the same report period. Again, reconciliation will tell you where the difference is coming from, try it for one month or quarterly.

Hope this helps!

Inside your Income by Customer Report, try switching the basis for the report look: Accrual vs. Cash. 

I can print Profit and loss detail and my balance sheet reports but my income by customer reports both come up blank. Do you think i have put something wrong. Help if you can. I need to see how much each customer has made for the company.

I have tried this and it is blank to.

No it doesn't work it is still blank.

Already tried this but it is still blank.

Let's get your Income by Customer Summary report printed. As an initial step, you might want to export the report into PDF.

If the data shows when exported into a PDF file, try to print the report from there.
