Question

QB "Total cost Report" lacks what Intuit " Total Cost report" had

The Total Cost report on the INTUIT payroll had:
1) Total Pay
2) Net Pay
3) Deductions
4) Company Contributions
5) Taxes (employee and employer)
6) Total Cost

 

But the Total Cost report on Quick Books Payroll online has:

1) Total Pay
2) Company Contributions
3) Employer taxes
4) Total Payroll Cost

So the QBPR report does not have Net Pay, Deductions, Employee taxes
Is there a way to add this to the QBPR Total cost report?

Thank you.

Please add the following categories to the Total Payroll Cost Report:

    Net Pay, 

    Deductions, 
    Employee taxes

 

These categories were on Intuit's Total Cost report.

Thanks

    Hello, LDO. 

     

    QuickBooks Online is continuously developing new features to keep up with your needs. We value your inputs, and we'd love to listen to them. 

     

    I recommend send this feature request to our product engineers so they'll consider adding this in the future. We take this as an opportunity for us to improve on how the program works. Please click the send feedback. In this way, we'll be able to count the number of users who need this feature.   

     

    On the other hand, you can pull up Payroll details report. This report includes Gross pay, Other pay, Employer taxes & contributions, Employee taxes & deductions, Net pay, Hours, Total payroll cost, Pay period, Pay method, Workers’ comp.  

     

     

     

     


    You can check out these articles to see the complete list of available reports for your QuickBooks Online Payroll version. Also, you'll learn more about customizing and memorizing them.

    Hello Aline, I have been using the payroll detail report for a few months but it is clumsy and is not as concise as the Intuit Total Cost report.   Its sad that we were forced to downgrade from intuit to QB.  I was hoping it would have been an upgrade. 

     

    Also I do not understand why I have to turn a request in for an improvement.  Can yall not forward this thread to your product engineers?   Why is this our responsibility?

     

    Thanks

      The original Total Cost report supported the bank reconciliation providing top-level summary values for each category of the payroll CASH requirements. ... It is quite remarkable that the issue presented in @LDO's June 22, 2022 post is now appearing in the TOTAL COST report results of one, but not all, of my clients.  Why would we now in March 2023 be experiencing a degraded report to match the complaint from June 2022?  Our Total Cost report worked correctly as recently as 2/24/2023.  Oddly enough as of this week for 3/10/2023, this issue has begun effecting my clients.  We need a direct solution to this issue. This report change is not a service improvement. General feedback has not produced a practical solution for the end-users and using employee pay detail reports to patch the issue does not satisfy what was lost.  My QBO-Care inquiry has not yet identified the level-3 or level-4 solution to restore the continuity of the TOTAL COST report.  When will it be done?  Why would @LDO be experiencing report results that were different from our own last year and now we are experiencing the same bad outcomes 9-months later?  Is this a trend indicator?

      Kurt_qc9,

      .Are you saying that some of your clients have  seen the features I requested on their Total Cost Report?
      I have NEVER seen these categories on the Total Cost report since I was forced to change from Intuit to QB. 
      Also inaddition to allowing me see things exactly the way they cleared my checking accout the Intuit report allowed me to see both After tax and PreTax deduction on this report.  I miss that! 

       

      I have recently read that some QB users can see things when they log in under incogntito mode that they normally don't see,   So I just tried that after reading your post .... No Luck.

       

      QB PLEASE ANSER....  Why is it that some of  Kurt_qc9's  clients can see the extra stuff I want. but I cant.

      Hi there, @LDO. I'm here to help you get the data you need.

       

      In QuickBooks Online (QBO), there are only certain columns and information available in the Total Payroll Cost report. Other data can be found when you run the Payroll Details report. Such as the Pretax deductions, employee details, and employee and employer taxes. That said, you can export both reports and modify the information in the Excel spreadsheet.

       

      You can customize first the report before exporting. Also, make sure that the date range selected matches both reports. For reference, check this article: Run payroll reports. 

       

      I appreciate you sharing your ideas about adding this feature. While we don't have the exact time frame when the specific data and columns you need to be added to the report, I recommend sending feedback to our product developers. This way, they can further review the payroll reports and consider adding new data in future updates. Refer to the steps below:

       

      1. Go to the Reports menu and look for the Total Payroll Cost report.
      2. Open it and select the Feedback link beside the report's title.
      3. Enter the details of your product suggestions and feedback.
      4. Click Submit when done.
         

      You can also visit our Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Online website to track the suggestion you've submitted. 

       

      If you have any other concerns running the payroll report in QBO, please don't hesitate to leave a reply below. I'd be happy to provide additional help. Have a good one and stay safe.
