Ok… But given the 2 posts you mention are both a filtered version of the P&L both already showing dates. Isnt that a bit redundant? Or is it just that you want to see the error in situ on the full P&L?
My guess is the transactions are in both the old and new versions of Manager but shown in different periods or with different descriptions. As a result the cumulative totals over all time periods are likely to be much closer.
So using a broad date range report then manually search on several different criteria to see the differences in reporting conventions.
The aim being to qualify what external corrections should actually be implemented as a result of the new information.

One other thing I did not mention in my earlier post is that Manager often makes automatic transaction entries in order to balance the books. Sometimes these entries are quite different in time from the date the actual transactions occurred. That can be due to insufficiency of inventory or bank clearance dates or other factors. So the idea of looking over a broader date range could be quite useful.
Thank you to all who have provided assistance.
So as not to waste everyone’s time further I think you are just going to have to take my word that you have helped in identifying the issue that the older version of manager was not posting Inventory items that were invoiced at $0 to the P&L (Or don’t believe me as i have not proven it sufficiently for your needs, that’s fine as you cannot see all my data).
All GL transactions are identical in both versions… so the transactions do exist. its all about how they are dealt with by the previous version and the new version.
If the developer wishes to have a chat I’m more than happy to do so, perhaps in a more appropriate medium. But given the issue is corrected in the new version… this is probably a case of its already been fixed.
As previously said I am confident the issue is clearly identified on this end.
Thanks again.
For those interested.
The issue I raised has now been confirmed by an accountant who went right through the processes from start to finish. Manager was not posting $0 inventory items invoiced to the P&L in previous versions, it is in the newer versions (around 12 months ago onwards). I’m sure its probably not going to affect too many people as it would be a bit rare to be invoicing inventory at $0, just happens to be a large proportion of what we do with our inventory.
@lubos Id appreciate any comment you would be able to give that may shed any further light on this. and if there ware in fact changes that would affect how invoicing inventory at $0 calculated differently between earlier versions of manager and now (12 ish months ago forward). We are now involved in an interesting (and not fun) place with the tax office as a result of this. Can you make any comment as the developer which could confirm what our accountant is advising is a serious error in the behavior of the software when invoicing inventory at $0.? Note that it is calculating correctly now with all versions from around 12 months ago.
