Consistency in Report period days
planned
Free2Be Bookkeeping
When I view a custom report (donations for a week for a church) in QBO and the period is set to 'This week', it starts on Sunday. However, when I export or send the report on a schedule, it starts on Monday. Consistency of what 'this week' means is needed. (Sunday is set as the first day of the week in the Time settings)

Set weekly reporting period

We need to be able to define what a week is. For many businesses its Monday - Sunday, for others its Sunday - Saturday. The one thing that is certain is that its different for all businesses, and thus needs to be a configuration for reporting.
You can set this in the "time" section of settings but it has no bearing on reporting. If making this setting it should go under Settings > Advanced > Accounting with the rest of the period configurations.

Hi Free2Be Bookkeeping,
I could only partially duplicate the behavior described.
EG - If I select the pre-defined date range of "last week" the report date range will show 1-18-26 to 1-24-26. When I then select to "display columns by" to be "weeks" there are two weeks that show: Jan 12 to Jan 18 2026 and Jan 19 to Jan 25 2026. (attached is a screen shot).
I wanted to check in and see what you mean by "when I export or send the report on a schedule".
Any additional information or context will greatly help make sure we work on the correct use case.
