I pay my supplier invoices on 5th working day for the prior month. So eg I have just uploaded my invoices to pay ready for next week but the amounts have gone into Junes PNL, which i presume its because the invoices have Junes date but they need to go in July because they wont be paid until July?

Hi there, @Kirstyc.

 

I'd like to offer some insights into your concern about the supplier's invoice or bill showing the wrong month in QuickBooks Online.

 

In QuickBooks Online, Profit and Loss report is based on the transaction date. When entering supplier invoices or bills in QuickBooks, you have to use the actual date of the transaction. This also applies when receiving the payment.

 

If the bill should be dated in July; you can edit the bill to reflect the correct July date.

 

To edit the bill, here's how:

 

  1. At the left navigation panel, go to Expenses.
  2. Click on Bill.
  3. Select the dropdown arrow beside the Schedule payment, under the action column.
  4. Choose View/edit bill.
  5. After editing, click Save.

 

Moreover, you can set the Profit and Loss report depending on how you want your report to reflect.

 

When using the cash accounting method, you record income and expenses at the time you actually receive a payment or pay a bill. On the other hand, with the accrual accounting method, you record income and expenses when you send the invoice or receive the bill.
