Profit and Loss reports show total transactions for each nominal at the Invoice date and do not include Balance Sheet codes. All Journal transactions are included on the P&L.
To run the Profit and Loss report from the main menu select Reporting > Profit and Loss.
Criteria
The report criteria defaults the From date as the start of the financial year and the To Date as today's date but these dates may be changed as required.
If the dates or the report period are changed then you need to click on the refresh button to update the report.
Report Period
Annual - This report produces one column of figures showing the total for the chosen date range.
Quarterly - The Quarterly layout will include the total of up to 3 months of values in each column.
If the From date is not an exact quarter date then the first column may not be a full quarter as it will start at the From date.
If the date range does not end on an exact quarter date then the final column may not be a full quarter as it will only include figures up to the To date.
Monthly - The monthly totals for each code plus a total column on the right-hand side.
Compare To
