Day Wise P & L (New) is one of the report buttons across the top of the Dashboard — it is not under the Finance menu. Where the P & L Statement gives you totals per account, this report lists every income and expense entry, one line at a time, with the cash and bank balances at the start and end of the range. It is the report for reading a day's book, not for the profit figure.
Steps
- Open the Dashboard and press Day Wise P & L (New)
- Optionally pick one Campus (blank = all)
- Set Report Start Date and Report End Date — both start on today
- Press Generate Report — nothing is loaded until you do
What you get
- Opening Balance — every account under your Current Assets heading (cash, banks) with its balance as at the start date. Accounts that are zero at both ends are left off.
- Income — each entry posted to an income account inside the range: transaction number, date, account, amount, memo. Lines from the same entry are grouped.
- Expense — the same for expense accounts.
- Closing Balance — the same accounts as at the end date.
- Calculated Return — Total Income minus Total Expense.
- Account names link to GL Inquiry. The page prints with your school header.
Common confusion
"The total is not the same as the P & L Statement." Two reasons. This report adds up every line on an income or expense account whichever side it was posted on, while the P & L Statement nets the two sides — so a refund or reversal in the range makes them differ. And discounts given at payment time on Pay/Print Fee Challans are left out of both lists here. For the school's profit figure, rely on Finance › P & L Statement; use this one to read the entries.
"My bank account is not in the balance tables." Only accounts filed under the Current Assets heading appear. Move the account under that heading in Finance › Chart of Accounts if it belongs there.
"Nothing shows." You have not pressed Generate Report yet, or the range has no entries. The end date cannot be before the start date.
