I want to run my financial reports with the columns being a custom field, how do I do this?

Providing the best experience with the product is what we aim for, ahukin.

I know how beneficial it is to your business to add the Net Assets custom field you have created. However, the option to add them as separate columns in the Statement of Activity and Statement of Financial Position report is unavailable.

What we can do is to export both reports to Excel. From there we can manually add the columns for Donor Restrictions and without Donor Restrictions.

For more details about customizing reports, see Customize reports in QuickBooks Online article. 

You can visit these blogs for any upcoming QuickBooks updates and enhancements:

I have a link here that provides you with articles about managing your reports in QuickBooks Online (QBO): https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/reports/07?product=QuickBooks%20Online.

That'll do it. Assistance is just one click away if you need anything else in QBO. I'm always here to help. Take care always. 

In that case, is there a way to add tags to deposits and journal entries, as they are available to use as columns on Statement of Activity?

Ideally the custom fields would just work on these statements. I don't understand why they don't. You should consider allowing the use of custom fields as columns on theses reports.  It would make me more likely to continuing using QBO Advanced with my non-profit.  Also, when looking in the help on QBO it did say this it was possible to use custom fields on profit and loss statement, so that should be corrected. See below...

Filter your financial reports by custom field

Use custom fields to filter your reports to focus on specific details. For example, if you only want to see sales on Profit and Loss reports by sales reps, you can apply your custom field as a filter.

1. Select the Reports menu from the Navigation Bar.
2. Open a report from the list.
3. Select Customize in the header.
4. In the Customize Report window, scroll to the Filter section.
5. Select the box for the custom field you want to use as a filter.
6. Select Run Report.

You can also add custom fields as columns on reports.

1. In the Customize Report window, scroll to the Rows/Columns section.
2. Check the box for each custom field you want to add.
3. Select Run Report.

Hi there, @ahukin.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO) you can use tags for transactions such as invoices, expenses, and bills. Applying tags to journal entries and deposits is currently unavailable. For more info, you may visit this link: Tag transactions in QuickBooks Online. 

In the meantime, you may follow the steps recommended by my colleague, @RCV so you can add the columns for Donor Restrictions and without Donor Restrictions.
