The PnL Object
The P&L object represents a comprehensive Profit & Loss report for a specific time period. It contains structured financial data showing all income and expense accounts, calculated totals, and profitability metrics.
This object is returned when you generate a P&L report via the COUNT Partner API and includes both summary-level information and detailed line items for each account.
The structure follows standard accounting principles, organizing accounts into revenue (income) and expense categories, with automatic calculation of:
Gross profit
Operating income
Net income
All monetary values are returned in the specified currency, or the organization’s default currency if no currency is explicitly provided.
