What happened to the Profit and Loss Detail Report? Have set up two new accounts and neither offers this report.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, @gtaylor4. Let's work on your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account to get you to run the Profit and Loss Detail report.

 

The aforementioned report is only available in QuickBooks Online Essential, Plus, and Advanced. Otherwise, you can explore other reports that could serve similar functions, such as the Profit and Loss Standard Report or custom reports that can be tailored to show the details needed.

 

If both accounts are recognized where the report should be available, browser-related issues can affect the functionality of a cloud-based application like QuickBooks. To address any unusual behavior, I recommend performing some browser troubleshooting steps. To begin, please open your company file in a private browsing window using these shortcuts:

 

  • Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: press Command + Shift + N

 

Once complete, return to your regular browser and clear the cache and cookies to help prevent similar issues in the future. Additionally, consider using other supported browsers to potentially enhance your experience

 

Additionally, you can export your reports to obtain a copy or use them outside of QuickBooks. For complete guidelines, refer to this article: Export your reports to Excel from QuickBooks Online.

 

You're always welcome to post here if you need additional help accessing reports, @gtaylor4. The Community is round the clock ready to help and guide you. Keep safe!

Yes, why would an accounting system need to have such a report. It's sooooo very advanced and probably rarely used.

 

Also, there's an offering that is less featured than "essential"?  So, you're admitting that Intuit sells accounting software that has less than the essential features needed to keep the books?! Amazing!

Assuming you have a version of QuickBooks Online that doesn't have the report, you can probably get your detail report by running a standard Profit and Loss summary report and then clicking on the Net Income dollar amount at the bottom of the report.  The result should be a Profit and Loss Detail report.

Are you sure about that?
