Hello there. I have a customer that owns multiple property. How do I reflect that under the customer name or profile?

Before I used to put a number after the customer name to make it different. Is that the right approach?

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community!

 

I'm here to help you reflect each of the properties owned by your customer under its name.

 

Creating different customer names for each of the properties is a good idea. However, it would be best to enter the properties as sub-customer. Let me guide you how.

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
  2. Click Sales & expenses from the left menu, then select Customers.
  3. Select New customer.
  4. In the Customer info window, enter the property name and details.
  5. Put a checkmark in the Is a sub-customer checkbox. Then, choose the parent customer.
  6. Click Save.

 

Once done, repeat steps 3 to 6 for the rest of the property.

 

Just in case you want to view your sales transactions for all of your customers, you can check out this article for more guidance: View sales transactions.

 

Come back to this post if you have other concerns or follow-up questions about managing your customers. I'll be right here to help.

Hello there. I have a customer that owns multiple property. How do I reflect that under the customer name or profile?

I have a similar situation for a Property Management company in which I am managing several properties under once ownership:

1. Collecting Owner funds in an Escrow Account

2. Billing for services provided such as repairs and utilities

3. Adding a markup on services and repairs at a rate

4. Billing for a monthly management service fee

 

How do I properly setup the Customer and also the individual properties so that I can individually track expenses and payables to each property?

 

Thanks,

LPM

Hello there. I have a customer that owns multiple property. How do I reflect that under the customer name or profile?

We can follow the steps shared by Mark_R above to set up a customer with the individual properties, @LongleafPropertyManagement

 

For easier tracking of expenses and payables for each property, we can set the properties as sub-customers. Make sure to check the box when creating it. See the screenshot below for reference.

 

 

For more information, check out this link: Add and manage customers in QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, you can run several reports in QuickBooks to give you a snapshot of your business.

 

Please let me know if you have further questions about setting up a customer with individual properties in QuickBooks. I'm always here to assist.

I've tried this but doesn't seem to work. It reverts to whatever address I put in. When I go back to look at the previous invoice or estimate the address changes to the current building I just uploaded to quick books.

Hello there. I have a customer that owns multiple property. How do I reflect that under the customer name or profile?

I appreciate your efforts in performing the steps provided by my colleague, Infinityfire. I want to ensure you receive the support needed to accurately add your customer's properties with the correct addresses reflected.

 

First off, following the suggestions on this thread will allow you to add the properties under the parent customer without affecting the address of the previous invoices or estimates. However, since it didn't work on your end, I recommend contacting our Live Support Team to investigate this further. They have the necessary tools to open your account, examine the issue, and provide a personalized resolution. Here's how to reach them:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
  2. Click Help.
  3. Select the Search tab and enter a keyword related to your concern.
  4. Hit the Contact Us button.
  5. Choose a way to connect.

 

Additionally, I'll share this resource to aid you in modifying your customer's recorded information in QBO: Edit customer info in QuickBooks Online.
