First and foremost thanks to both QBteachmt (QBt) and Kristine Mae for the time they put in to reply, and attempt to help me find answers.
At the risk of angering QBt, Kristine's reply basically answered my question as to why the filter on the P&L reports by client did not generate CGS data for the client selected -- I didn't even think to check the underlying Transaction Data for the company's P&L report, and of course discovered that as it is laid out now, the vendor data is not assigned to specific clients for this report.
And my hat tip to QBt for his patience and skill in responding to my initial question and reply -- even though I still have not had time to fully digest his post, I do understand, in conjunction with Kristine's post, why I am unable to generate "easily" the CGS data for the client specific reports.
I think (and that is a big guess at this point) -- but I think I follow what QBt is suggesting as the way to do what I was trying to do, but will have to digest this a bit more, and determine if the time to make this happen is worthwhile since this is the first time in using QB Online Plus in 4+ years that it even came up as something we wanted to do. So I am going to market QBt's last reply as a "Solution" and will return with more intelligent questions if we take the next step. Thanks again to you both .... TGH
