Vendors and their account number assigned to me.

I get one bill from a utility company, showing amounts owed for 3 locations with 3 separated account numbers (one for each location).  How do I set up the utility company as a vendor, but be able to tract the charges for each location/account number separately?

I can help you track the charges for each location, carrieokie.

 

Here's how to get started. You can add or create a new vendor with the name Utility company. Then use the Class feature for each account number. Please follow the steps below to turn on the class tracking.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Account and Settings.
  2. Click Advanced, then select the Categories section to edit.
  3. Check Track classes.
  4. Checkmark Warn me when a transaction isn't assigned a class
  5. Under Assign classes, choose the One to each row in transaction from the Assign classes dropdown.
  6. Once done, hit Save, then Done.

 

After that, you can set up a class list for each account number.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Settings ⚙ and select All Lists.
  2. Select Classes.
  3. Click New. Use the account number as a class name.
  4. Once done, hit Save.
  5. Repeat the same steps for the rest of the account numbers.

 

Once done, create a bill for the Utility company. Please see the image below.

 

 

You can run the Purchases by Class Details report and customize it to track charges for individual account numbers.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu, then select the Purchases by Class Details report.
  2. Click the Customize button.
  3. Add the Class from the Change columns section.
  4. Go to the Filter area, and select only the Utility company in the Vendor dropdown.
  5. Once done, hit Run report.

 

For your reference, you can visit the following resource below for more details:

 

 

I've also added this resource for future reference to help you track whatever information you've entered in QuickBooks: Run reports in QuickBooks Online.

 

Let me know if you have follow-up questions about the class feature. I'll be around to help you.
