Why don'y my bills and expenses show in profit and loss detail report

Welcome to the Community, @ATLllc. I'm here to help you display the bills and expenses on your Profit and Loss Detail report.

 

To guarantee that all bills and expenses appear in your P&L report, you need to correctly categorize them as items contributing to the business's earned profits by using correct categories when entering them in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

With this in mind, here are some actions on how to show your bills and expenses in the report:

 

  • Change the Report period. It's best to choose Custom to freely set the starting date and the ending date of the transactions that will show on the report.
  • Change the Accounting method: cash or accrual. If you use the cash basis, transactions will only show up after payment has been sent or received, while the accrual basis shows transactions based on when they're recorded.
  • Go to the Customize option, then click on the filter tab. From there, select All as the Distribution Account.
  • Click Run report after doing the customizations above.

 

Additionally, here's a helpful article with more report features: Run reports in QuickBooks Online.
