    Hello

    Two bank accounts do not reconcile due to interest. I have followed the steps and deleted items but the reconcile accounst and find transactions do not agree.

  • Hi AJQ 

     

    Sorry to see that no one has offered assistance with your query.

     

    If this is still outstanding the Job Profit and Loss shows all transactions associated with for an account with a certain job attached. The Profit and Loss report shows all transactions associated with an account regardless of whether it has a job or not or the actual job.


    If you have narrowed it down to an account that is different you would be looking at running the General ledger detail report for that account to ensure that all transactions have a job and that the job is the same job you are using on that Job Profit and Loss report.

    Hi AJQ 

     

    Generally speaking, it would be fine to post the bank account balance assuming there is no other identifiable information in that report. However, you are welcome to send that information in a Forum private message to me if you would prefer. Note: That information would need to be in an image format to be uploaded via Forum private message.

     

    It should be pointed out that a bank account should be set up as an Asset account and therefore not appear on the Profit and Loss report (which only shows Income, Cost of Sales, or Expense accounts). Also, job costings typically go against the allocation account which is not normally the bank account but rather an income or expense account.

    Hi AJQ 

     

    Thank you for your private message - however, the screenshots were not of a clear quality to view the full information.

     

    In saying that, I can see from the screenshots that this appears you are looking at the Reconcile Accounts window to balance accounts. As such, I would be looking at Help Article: Resolving out of balance bank reconciliations to investigate the out of balances within your Reconcile Accounts window. 

    From a Job Profit and Loss balancing with the normal Profit and Loss point of view, the same principles I have mentioned in my previous post on this thread still apply. The transactions would need to have a job attached and that is the same one as what is being run for the Job Profit and Loss.
