Purchase invoices is not reflectin in Profit & Loss Statement

When purchase invoice is recorded in ERPNEXT.com the same does not reflect in Profit and Loss statement ( Purchase account and closing Stock account).

But the same product when sold creating sales invoice Profit & Loss account gets updated.

Please suggest solution.

Hi Priyal_11.
When you sell it is supposed you win (the difference between cost of goods and the selling price) so the accounting register the earning as a Profit.
But when you make a purchase it depends.
If you are buying items to resell that it is not a Loss because you really exchange money for items that worth the same, so nothing to show on the report.
Opposite case, if you purchase items or services to consume, that you register on a expense account, this transaction yes will be afecting the Profit an Loss report as a Loss.
So if this is not happening you need to check the item default expense account in the item master or in the item row on the purchase invoice and link it to the correct account.
I hope it helps you.
Thank you.

@Malvin Consider the scenario

  • An item worth 50 has been purchased with 10 qty - which is 500
  • Then we sold 2 qty of same item for 70 rupees - which is 140 of profit margin 40 20 per each
  • So Closing stock value is 400 which is 8*50
    Hence the profit and loss statement should be as below
