Hello,

I am using Reckon Accounts Enterprise: Manufacturing and Wholesale Edition 2022.

I am wondering if there is a way to generate a P&L report that displays expenses with a negative value? Would help alot with the reporting efficiently to the expectations we must adhere to by our parent company.

    @MrStuart If you click on the Net Income figure on the P&L to drill down on it, this will generate the Transaction Detail by Account where the expenses transactions are actually displayed in the negative. Unfortunately, this is only an option in these detailed reports though not on summary ones - like the original P&L itself - as a Profit & Loss isn't traditionally formatted with negative figures from an accounting perspective!

    I wouldn’t have thought so, unless the account was in negative. I think I know what you mean and pretty sure the answer is a resounding no. Only alternative would be to export to excel and modify it there
