Having reports with accounts labeled "Other" is inaccurate. This happens because transactions have been applied to the parent account instead of the subaccount. You need to reapply these transactions to the correct subaccount using QuickZoom.

In the example below, on the report $185.54 appears as an "Auto - Other" expense. That does not tell you exactly how the money is being spent. You can find out more by QuickZooming into that amount.

Procedure:

1) Using your mouse, move the cursor onto the line of the "Auto - Other" amount until it becomes a "Z" inside a magnifying glass.

2) Now double-click.

3) QuickBooks then displays a list of the transaction's you selected.

4) Just as before, move the cursor onto the "Amount" line of a transaction until it becomes a "Z" inside a magnifying glass.

5) Double-click your mouse again to drill down to the original transaction.

6) QuickBooks indicates that the transaction was applied to the parent account instead of the subaccount.

7) To reapply transactions to the correct account and use the the downward-pointing arrow in the Account column.

8) Select the correct account from the pop-up list.

9) Then Click "Save & Close ".

The incorrect transaction has disappeared. Continue with the other transactions
in your report. Now your Profit and Loss report is more accurate and the "Auto - Other" account has disappeared.
