Accounts only show names while eliminating numbers.  Can they be made to show?

How to see account numbers with names?

I've got you covered, Torrey. I'll lay down the steps for using and assigning account numbers in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Assigning numbers to your accounts will help you with keeping them organized and easy to find. Let's enable this feature so you can utilize it. Let me show you how:

 

  1. Go to Settings, then select Chart of accounts.
  2. Choose the Advanced tab.
  3. Click the pencil icon in the Chart of accounts section.
  4. Enable the feature and make sure to place a checkmark in the Show account numbers box.
  5. Click Save and then Done.

 

If you want to view them from the Chart of Accounts page, please make sure to check the Number in the Settings above the Action column.

 

You may refer to this article for more information: Use account numbers in your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you're referring to something else, please provide additional information or screenshots of what you want to achieve within your QBO account.

 

Additionally, check out this article to see different information on how the COA organizes your transactions so you know how much money you have and owe in each account: Learn about the chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have additional questions about viewing account numbers in QBO. We're just around to provide the steps. Have a wonderful day ahead!

Thanks for your prompt response, Torrey. I've got additional information to help you maximize QuickBooks Online's overall features.

 

Although the QuickBooks Online app contains limited functionalities and features, it's an excellent tool for managing your account while on the go. However, account numbers with names aren't visible from this end when doing tasks or transactions in your file.

 

With that, I recommend utilizing the web browser available on your mobile phone to help improve your experience. This way, you'll have access to all the features and capabilities of your online company file, providing you with more control and flexibility.

 

Moreover, I'm including this resource that can guide you in reviewing your accounts to make sure they always match your bank and credit card statements: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

 

I'll keep this thread available if there's anything else you require additional assistance with when managing account numbers in your online account. Just let me know below, so I can back you up. Stay safe and have a great weekend ahead!
