What is the difference Between a Balance Sheet Report and other Reports?

You may notice that your QuickBooks balance sheet report doesn't match your other reports even after ensuring that each one of the filters is equivalent. There a couple of reasons why this happens such as:

• Your record report may be a cumulative report that carries a beginning balance.
• In other reports, the date range you set only applies to the net and therefore the specific account you decide on within the report. (Example: If you've got $50 of nuisance tax in March and $60 in April, the record will show $110 for the nuisance tax liability account.)
• If the date range for the report in April, it'll still show the cumulative total of $110. However, if you decide on $110, its transaction detail report shows a beginning balance of $50 then a $60 transaction for April.
• Additionally, the Sales by Item report is going to be limited to the date range you set. If you set the report date for April, then it'll truly reflect only April and show the $60 only.
