When I run a transaction report to show time activity, the report shows me employee names. For vendors I get "Not Specified." How can I get the vendor name to show?

Hello, userbookkeeper2. 

I'll share some information about the "Not Specified" mapping on your reports. 

The transactions under "Not specified" depends on what report you're running for your time activities.

I'd like to ask what specific report you're running and the settings involved. That way, I can come up with a resolution to help you get the data you need. 

While waiting for your reply, the transactions "Not specified" are caused by the Location tracking feature. Their linked transaction (invoices) might have a different location or simply they don't have any location mapped at all.

Also, they technically can't be split into multiple locations so QuickBooks categorizes them under "Not Specified."

If there's a need for you to split the transactions into multiple locations, you'll want to create a journal entry instead. Simply go to the + New icon, then select Journal entry. 

This might be a bit complex, so I would recommend reaching out to an accountant before doing this. They'll ensure your transaction is mapped properly, and make sure your books are correct.
