Location

I am planning to add a new location.  I want to make all exisitng transactions with the old location (Old)

Using the reclassify tool I can mark all the P&L accounts with(Old).  There are four balance sheet accounts where the reclassify tool cannot find transactions with no location listed.  These are all transaction prior to 9/3/2013.

For my bank account I can look at the register and see transactions not showing the current location.  In order to edit these, I must unreconciled, save, edit location, save, remark as reconciled.

 

For accounts receivable, there is no wayt to see location in register view.

 

I have already tried comining in as a new user on my browser.

Welcome to QuickBooks Community, dickhall7780. Let's ensure you can edit your reconciled transactions with missing locations.

 

At this time, the column that allows you to view the location of Accounts Receivable within the bank register is not accessible. As an alternative, I recommend utilizing the reporting features to locate those specific transactions. This will help you track and manage your Accounts Receivable effectively and edit your transaction's location.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to Reports menu and look for Balance Sheet.

  2. Click Accounts Receivable and hit the Columns icon.

  3. From there, select Location to add this to your report.

  4. Find the transaction without the location and click the amount to edit.

Moreover, you can save customized reports in QBO to improve data accessibility and share it with other users.

Thanks for the reply but this does not allow me to change the location.

I have several hundred entries to add location. 

When I open the transaction, there is no place to enter location.

Reclassify does not find these transactions.

Adding a new location to multiple entries in QuickBooks Online (QBO) can be a real challenge. Let’s delve into key steps to help you navigate this task effectively, dickhall.

 

Before we begin, please note that the reclassify tool has limitations in supporting certain accounts associated with transactions involving locations, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, as these are tied to specific financial processes. This is why the reclassify tool cannot find some of your transactions.

 

Meanwhile, ensure that you've already enabled the option for locations in your company settings so you can enter a location in each transaction:

 

  1. Go to the Settings icon and select Account and Settings.
  2. Select the Advanced tab.
  3. In the Categories section, click the Edit icon.
  4. Enable the option to Track Locations.

  5. Once accomplished, click Save and Done.

 

On the other hand, entering a location in a batch action is unavailable in QBO. Since you have several entries to add location, I'd recommend sending your feedback to our product development team. Rest assured that our engineering team is dedicated to developing product enhancements that meet the evolving needs of our customers. We uplift you to share your valuable feedback, as it will be carefully reviewed and taken into account for future updates.

 

Here's how to submit feedback within QBO:

 

  1. Sign in to your QBO account.
  2. Go to the Settings icon.
  3. Select Feedback.
  4. Enter your product recommendations.
  5. Click Next to submit.

 

To monitor the feedback shared and stay informed about our most recent updates, we invite you to visit the following page: Customer Feedback for QBO

 

While waiting for potential product enhancements, it would be beneficial to follow the steps provided by my colleague above. Let's take time to locate these accounts by pulling up a report and manually entering the location for each transaction. Although this process may require a significant investment of time and effort, the accuracy it brings to your financial records will ultimately be well worth it.

 

I'll share this valuable resource for your future use, which enables you to customize your reports collaboratively within a group setting. This feature not only enhances the accessibility of reports but also facilitates smoother collaboration among users, making it easier to work together and share insights effectively: Save a customized report in QBO.

 

We encourage you to keep an eye out for upcoming updates as we strive to improve our services, drawing inspiration from valuable feedback from customers like you. Let us know if you have additional insights or suggestions regarding location management. We're here to help you further.
