Current year profit and loss statement

Hi,

 

Why am I unable to create a P&L for the current period (From 01-07-2023 to 14-07-23)? I can do this in web browser, but not in MYOB software.

 

Is this an error on our end or a glitch in MYOB software?

 

Thanks

  • In MYOB terms  'this year' is the current running financial year, 'last year' is the year prior to that and  'next year' is the next year to the current running financial year. 

     

    For you to be running p and l for 2023-24, it has got to be in the 'next year' status. 'This year' should be 2022-23 and 'last year' means 2021-22. Only when 2021-22 financial year is closed, 2022-23 will be in 'this year' status and 2023-24 will be in 'next year' status.  So close financial year 2021-22 to run p and l for 2023-24 financial year.

    Thanks for your post and Welcome here in the Community Forum. I hope you will find it to be a great resource and place of information.

     

    Generally, you should be able to access these reports when you click on Reports >> Accounts and change the date and Financial Year of the data you want to display. Also, you may try changing the dates of the reports by month. If you're receiving an error, could you please take a screenshot so I can look into it further?

      Hi Leneth_A 

       

      Thank you for being so helpful.

       

      I tried, but MYOB does not let me select the current FY24. Please see the attached snapshot for your review. I can select Next Year(FY23) and This year(FY22), but not FY24. Do I need to adjust something in the backend?

       

      Thanks
