Hi, @tedschultz45.

 

Allow me to share with you some information about these accounting terms.

 

Each term plays a role in your financial report. The Net Revenue (net sales) is the total amount of income you earn from business operations minus any adjustments, such as accounting for returns, refunds, and discounts. While Net Income is your income after all eligible business expenses. Net income goes even further than net gross margin because you deduct all other expenses, including overhead and taxes.

 

On the other hand, the Net Operating Income is your revenue through daily sales of operating your business.

 

At this time, I would recommend contacting your accountant to discuss more your accounting books and your financial reports.

 

I'm also adding these link for your additional resources:

The reply was no help. I am a CPA so I know the definitions of Net Revenue and Net Income. The problem is QuickBooks does understand the definition. QuickBooks uses Net Operating Revenue when its should be Net Operating Income and uses Net Revenue when it should be Net Income. The bottom line of the Income Statement should be Net Income not Net Revenue.

Therefore, my question is how do I go into QuickBooks and change the titles of these lines to the proper terminology. You didn't answer that question.

Can you provide me with the navigation in QuickBooks to change these summation lines to the proper US GAAP terminology?
