Reclassify doesnt work for expenses, especially when GST hasnted been added. how do i bulk update the gst?

Bulk updates of transactions are currently not available in QuickBooks Online, Vutha.

 

To reclassify or move transactions, you can do it manually per transaction. Also, there are some reasons why you can't move GST codes. Please keep in mind the following information:

 

  • Transactions labeled as "Out of scope" at the transaction level. For instance, invoices designated as out of scope at an invoice level cannot be reclassified.
  • Transactions involving discounts.

 

You can also create a Journal Entry. I suggest consulting with your accountant before you begin this process. Your books won't get out of hand because you'll know which accounts to debit and credit. If you do not have one, you can find one using our Find a ProAdvisor portal here: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/au/find-a-proadvisor/

 

  1. Click + New.
  2. Select Journal entry.
  3. From the first line, select an account from the Account field. Depending on if you need to debit or credit the account, enter the amount in the correct column.
  4. On the next line, select the other account you're moving money to or from. Depending on if you entered a debit or credit on the first line, enter the same amount in the opposite column.
  5. Check the amounts - you should have the same amount in the Credit column on one line and the Debit column on the other. This means the accounts are in balance.
  6. Enter information in the memo section so you know why you made the journal entry.
  7. Click Save and new or Save and close.
