The calculation of the figures showing from the Sales and Profit and Loss sections are different. Under Sales, it calculates the gross amount and payments for a specific period.
For the Profit and Loss, it only excludes your total expenses from your sales and shows your net income within a particular date. To check the accuracy of the amounts, I suggest running some reports in QuickBooks.
You can either run Profit and Loss or Sales as a keyword in the Search box. Once done, set the Report period for each report and compare them (see screenshot below).
