VAT detail report - how do I include transaction descriptions? Otherwise it's just a list of meaningless numbers.

I know this is not your fault, but what good is a report without any descriptions - this is pretty basic stuff. It shouldn't need a manual fix each time, for a basic requirement that all other systems seem to provide. QB fails on so many counts compared to the competition. 

Hiya 

I need to customise VAT detail report and want to add Categories (like Purchases and others ) in  VAT report these are not a

available in setting. Is there any Way to add new column which are not available in Setting?

Thanks for joining in on this discussion.

Currently, we're unable to add another column in the VAT Detail report in QuickBooks Online (QBO) to display your preferred categories. 

In the meantime, you'll want to export it to Excel so you can manually enter it from there. 

I appreciate you for pitching your concern here in the Community. While this feature is unavailable, I'd recommend sending your feature request directly to our software engineers. They will review your suggestion and might consider incorporating it in our future product enhancements. 

To do that:

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Under Profile, select Feedback.
3. Enter a brief description of your suggestion and click Next.

Furthermore, you can memorise a report in QBO to save the current customisation settings of your reports.

Let me know if you have additional questions about customising a report. I'm always available to attend to your concerns. Take care, and have a good one.
