Question

Can a reference number field be added to all receipts entered in Quickbooks, to match the physical filing reference?

For example, all physical documents are filed and given a sequential reference number by me, which i can also enter into the quickbooks entry. This will assist in organising the physical receipts in an order that makes sense for my business, and this reference will assist me locating the physical document in case i need to. Scanning all receipts is a very tedious option and i would still like to be able to quickly retrieve the document. Organising the physical receipts by date doesn’t make sense in our case. They would be organised by category per month.

I have details to share that can help you save the receipt's reference number, theafrobananarep.

 

When reviewing uploaded receipts, there are fields for Memo and Reference no. You can use them to enter the physical filing reference number. 

 

 

However, these details will not automatically copy over to the expense or bill payment transactions after the receipt is matched. You'll want to manually enter the reference number in the Memo field of the actual transaction (check, expense, or bill payment). 

 

 

Then, run a Transaction List by Supplier report so you can easily locate it. The reference number should be listed under the Memo/Description column.
