****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** In NetSuite's Profit and Loss report, you can add a second pivot column by using the 'Column' filter drop down at the bottom of the report. If you see 'Period' or 'Accounting Period' in there, select that and you'll put the periods across the top of the report. This will allow you to see accounting data divided per period. However, adding another transaction field as a pivot column is not directly possible through the standard report builder. The standard choices for columns are limited and you can't add new columns/dimensions via the standard way. One workaround could be to use a custom segment, although this won't be available in all reports. Another alternative could be to use NetSuite Analytics or Workbooks, which might offer more flexibility in creating custom reports. If you need to build an income statement with a custom field, you could add your custom field as a result column, and then pivot the data in Excel or another external tool. Remember, these are workarounds and may not fully meet your requirements. NetSuite's reporting capabilities have certain limitations and it may not always be possible to create the exact report you need within the system.
