I recognize the importance of knowing the profitability of your stocks. This will help in identifying the business performance and accuracy of your Profit and Loss Report. Let me share an alternative solution to get the opening stock and closing stock data.

As mentioned by @Rustler, run the Balance Sheet Report to know the opening and closing stock. For the starting value, we’ll have to set the reporting period to January 1. Then, December 31 to get the ending value. I’m here to help and make sure the process is a breeze for you.

1. In your company, tap the Reports menu on the left panel and enter Balance Sheet in the field box.
2. Click the Report period drop-down and set the correct date range. For example, Custom (January 1).
3. If you wish to add more details, press the Customize button in the upper right.
4. Once done, hit Run Report to view the changes.
