Thanks for sharing your concern with us, apr-ridgeitsolut.

 

You'll probably be using the accrual method of accounting in your Profit and Loss. Since you don't wanna show pending invoices, you'll want to switch it from Accrual basis to a Cash basis of accounting method. Aside from that, make sure the dates are filtered correctly.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to Reports.
  2. Enter Profi and Loss in the search bar.
  3. From the Accounting method, choose the correct method.
  4. Filter the Report period correctly.
  5. Click Run report.

Also, you can access all reports available within QBO through the help of these articles. This will help you know more about managing a wide range of reports in QBO:

I've also added our page about reports and accounting that I'm sure you'll find helpful. It contains related articles related to the accounting process and reports.

 

Let me know if there's anything else you need help with while working with the Profit and Loss report. I'm always here to assist you.
