Hi&nbsp;AccountsAA&nbsp;
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&nbsp;Clearing the AccountRight Cache.
&nbsp;
If you are still encountering&nbsp;that situation after clearing the cache can you indicate if the Profit &amp; Loss [Accrual] report is encountering the same situation. with that total appearing at the bottom of the report.

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

Navigate to Accounts&gt;&gt;Accounts Lists.
Choose the desired header account.
Within the Account Information window, you would select the Details tab
Enable When Reporting, Generate a Subtotal for This Section.
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,&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;Regards,&nbsp;Mindy&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;AccountsAA&nbsp;
So we can fully understand that account list structure for that account would you mind providing a screenshot of the Account&gt;&gt;Account Lists-- Expense tab showing that header and detail account.
&nbsp;
In addition to that, have you recently created the header account and/or moved the account list structure up or down levels?

Hi Steven,&nbsp;Please see attached picture.&nbsp;I think I can create the header account, but I am not sure whether I can move the account list structure up or down levels.&nbsp;Regards,Mindy&nbsp;
