(January 2018) I was disappointed to discover that QB 2016 for Mac (R32) does not react as suggested. All searches for "account numbers" get zero results. It took a LOT of searching to finally discover...
The account numbers are hidden by default, but for all Charts of Accounts which are built into QB 2016 for Mac, the numbers exist. To make them visible:
- Open your company file
- Select: QuickBooks>Preferences>Transactions (in the Workflow section)
- Check the "Use account numbers" block.
NOTE: If you use layers of subaccounts, you may wish to also check "Show lowest subaccount only", otherwise you will always see the entire account number and label chain.
