Income reflecting Incorrectly on P&L Statement

Using accrual accounting, the income on the P&L is the total on the invoices.

The amounts paid by your customers do not enter into the calculation at all.

The Invoices is R92,412.32
The P&L does not balance. The P&L is only R 92,300.39.
This Is why I have a problem. It is about R 111.00 out.

In Manager go to the report on your first post above click in turn on

  • 64,613.04
  • 9,153.91
  • 18,533.44

Manager will show you how each figure was calculate. Note the prices shown on your profit and loss are VAT exclusive

Next look at your invoices. Note the prices for the tax exclusive component

You have not shown that the total of the invoices is 92,412.32 so we can do no more.

You need to drill down on the three income figures (64,813.04, 9,153.91 and 18,533.44) and see how the totals is calculated.- you can them cross check these against your invoices to see which one you think is missing.

As no one here can see your data , we can not do more than point you in the direction you should be looking.

You have undoubtedly made a mistake entering one of the sales invoices

Sorry, Patch - hopefully with the two of us, he can sort it out :slight_smile:

Hey guys thanks. It is not your fault I am stupid. This is a test company. This info is fabricated. I can start over again.
Doing it step-by-step and check for errors.

Starting over again and doing the same thing will give you the same result.

I will do it step-by-step. Looking for errors.

That is the best way to learn about Manager

That is why we all use test companies

The more important question is have you learnt

  • about Manager’s abilities to track things down?
  • How to structure things in Manager?

Yes I have traced a lot of error for example figures which were shown in incorrect places on the balance sheet.
This one was a bit difficult. It would have been easier if I could make use of the Production Orders, but apparently I can not. Now I have to do the stock, inventory, Payments for stock and invoicing differently. I will do it step-by-step and post it under this post. The previous post where I posted was Production orders.

I would start with reading the Guides.

I will do so thanks

@Patch @Joe91 @eko
The difference was the Tax. It was not clouded with only 1 Transaction and I could spot it quickly.
Thanx for your help.
