Hello, adm. 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. We are unable to add column fields under category details in the bill transaction. I understand that this would be a terrific addition to future improvement. As a workaround, you can enable the track locations and track classes feature in QBO, and from there, you can select the location where the bills are created. Meanwhile, the track classes we can add and set per line item as a column. It benefits businesses with multiple locations, departments, or projects.

 

I'll walk you through how to enable the location feature in QBO: 

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and select Account and Settings
  2. Select Advanced, and under Categories, turn on the Track locations
  3. Hit Save and Done

 

 

 

 

To set up and use classes in QuickBooks Online, you can follow these steps: 
 
  1. Go to the Gear icon in the top right corner. 
  2. Select Account and Settings, then click on the Advanced tab. 
  3. Under the Categories section, check the box for Track classes.
  4. Click Done once finished.

 

 

I can definitely see the value in adding another field in the Bills transaction under category details. Don't worry our developers are working hard to enhance the user experience and provide more efficient features and functionalities to streamline processes and better meet the needs of businesses. If you have any suggestions or ideas for additional improvements, I suggest sending feedback directly to the product developers. They always look for ways to enhance the product and may consider your ideas for future updates.

 

Here's how to send suggestions:

 

  1. Sign in to your company.
  2. Go to the Gear icon.
  3. Choose Feedback.
  4. Enter your comments in the description box.
  5. Click Next to submit your inputs.
