Question

Import budget csv file with classes / cost centres

We recently upgraded to Quickbooks Advanced and would like to leverage the ability to upload our budget in an excel/csv. We downloaded the sample csv but cannot find a way to specify the class/cost centre in the file. We input a dummy budget and uploaded to quickbooks to test and the budget screen does not seem to have any drop-downs/toggles to select the class/cost centre.

 

How can we load our budget to quickbooks by class/cost centre? 

 

EDIT: Also noticed the import file only lists the GL names, but not the GL number. Can we add the GL number too?
