Locations and payroll

Hello there, @Sunnyme. Welcome to QuickBooks Community!

The option to use the Location tracking feature for payroll is unavailable. In QuickBooks Online Payroll, you have the option to assign a class for each employee. 

We can set up QuickBooks Online class tracking and turn on Class Tracking for Employee Payroll. Let me guide you how:

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Select Payroll Settings under Your Company.
3. Select Preferences
4. Select Accounting Preferences.
   
5. In the Classes section, select how your company wishes to assign classes.
6. Then, hit OK.
   

Once you assign a class to each employee in the payroll settings, payroll will automatically be categorized. You can run reports by class so you can keep track of your payroll expense and such.  

In the meantime, you can add the location details in the paycheck's memo field as a workaround. Open the paycheck and go to the bottom section. In the paycheck's Memo field, enter the division details. Once done, run a report and customize it to add a Memo column. Here's how:

1. Go to Reports and run the Recent Transactions report.
2. Click Customize, then filter the Rows/Column by Date, Transaction Type, Name, Memo/Description, and Amount.
3. Also, in the Filter drop-down, select the Payroll check in the Transaction Type drop-down.
4. Click Run Report.
