I appreciate your proactive approach in trying to include account codes in your VAT Detail report, Tim. Currently, the report does not include the Account or Account Number columns, even if account numbers have been enabled in your Chart of Accounts. However, you can generate an alternative report to display this information. Let me share more details on this.
The VAT Detail report in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is designed specifically for VAT reporting, focusing on detailed tax information related to each transaction. This focused design doesn't include the ability to add details such as Account and Account Number columns. It is to ensure the report stays streamlined and specific to VAT-related data.
However, as an alternative you can use the Transaction Detail by VAT Code report. This report allows you to include the necessary columns and will offer a similar breakdown of your VAT transactions. Here’s how you can do it:
- On the left-hand menu, click Reports.
- Use the search bar to type Transaction Detail by VAT Code and select the report.
- Click Columns beside Filter.
- Make sure the Account full name checkbox is ticked.
- Set your preferred Report period and other criteria.
- Once done, click Save.
