Thanks for choosing QBO to help you manage your daily business needs, Kamran.

 

As a new QBO user, Tags can enhance your ability to organize and analyze financial data. I'm delighted to outline details regarding this below.

 

You can apply Tags on your transactions and pull up the Profit and Loss by Tag Group to review their designated data. On the other hand, you can use the feature for these unique scenarios:

 

  1. Classify your transactions according to their respective events and directives.
  2. Get a proper overview of the costs and revenues associated with specific projects.
  3. Designate your expenses according to their item, service type, or purposes.
  4. Get a better analysis of your sales to review the performance of your business per item or service type.

 

If you need further assistance managing your finances or how you can maximize Tags for your business needs, you can seek help from an accounting professional.

 

Furthermore, please be reminded that this feature will soon be phased out, effective May 16, 2025. Before this period, you can convert your existing Tags into Custom fields. To guide you through the process, check out this article: Migrate tags to custom fields in QuickBooks Online.

 

In addition, you can review this link to gather more information about the Tags feature and its upcoming discontinuation: What are tags, and why should I use them?

 

Finally, you can also consider exploring the Class and Location tracking function. The Class tracking lets you distinguish your business operations per store departments, product lines, or specific events and segments. Meanwhile, Location tracking helps you categorise your data from different sites, offices, regions, or branches under the same company.
