Formatting profit and loss statement

Hi,

 

I have a trouble with my profit and loss statement format.

 

Please see attachment.

 

"total depreciation"is not shown under deprecation account. 

 

Could you please tell me how I could fix this problem?

 

Regards,

Mindy

    Hi AccountsAA 


    To my knowledge, the latest version shouldn't be impacted by that situation and you are on that latest version.


    My recommendation would be to clear your cache as per Clearing the AccountRight Cache.

     

    If you are still encountering that situation after clearing the cache can you indicate if the Profit & Loss [Accrual] report is encountering the same situation. with that total appearing at the bottom of the report.

    Hi AccountsAA 

     

    To generate a sub-total for a header account on the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss reports you would need to enable the following preference:

     

    1. Navigate to Accounts>>Accounts Lists.
    2. Choose the desired header account.
    3. Within the Account Information window, you would select the Details tab
    4. Enable When Reporting, Generate a Subtotal for This Section.
    5. Select OK.

    After enabling that preference on the header account, once running that report you would be able to see a total for those detail accounts that make up that header account.

      Hi Steven,

       

      I followed your guide to reset our depreciation header account, but it still shows that the total depreciation substotal is not under depreciation account on our profit and loss statement.

        Hi AccountsAA 


        So we can fully understand that account list structure for that account would you mind providing a screenshot of the Account>>Account Lists-- Expense tab showing that header and detail account.

         

        In addition to that, have you recently created the header account and/or moved the account list structure up or down levels?
