Combine reports from multiple company COMPARISON

Don't sweat, @donnac2. Combining reports from multiple company files is easy as 1 2 3.

You have three (3) options to combine reports from multiple companies in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). But before we start on combining them, let's consider these things first:

• Make sure your chart of accounts in the company files as identical as you can.
• The accounts must have the same name, same type, and are at the same hierarchical level in each report.
• The accounts are listed by type.
• You may need to log in to your files and switch them to multi-user mode.

To proceed with the first option, you can go to the Combine Reports from Multiple Companies menu and combine the reports from there. However, this process is only available for the QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise version. Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu, then select Combine Reports from Multiple Companies.
2. Click Add Files and locate the other company file, then select Open. Repeat the steps for additional files.
3. Select the reports you want to combine.
4. Choose the date range of the report, then select a report basis.
5. Click Combine Reports in Excel. This will open an Excel spreadsheet with the combined information.

Your second option is to use a third-party application that has the ability to combine reports from multiple company files. You can look for it from the Intuit Marketplace.

Lastly, you can manually export the reports from each company file and combine them using an Excel file. For more guidance, feel free to check out this article: Export reports as Excel workbooks in QuickBooks Desktop.
