Question

Track tool purchases for different vehicles

We have a large vehicle fleet and multiple divisions.  We currently use Classes to allocate expenses for each division; i.e. Class 1 is Utility, Class 2 is Construction, Class 3 is HVAC and Class 4 is Broadband.  What I'd like to do is allocate tool purchases to specific trucks.  For example, we have 4 Construction trucks and management would like to be able to identify the amount of money spent just on tools for 1 of those trucks.  (The operator of that truck seems to purchase the same tools for his unit several times throughout the year).

 

I was hoping that there would be a way to set up a fleet list similar the the Class list and then just select the fleet unit # for items that we want to track when I enter in Vendor invoices.  (I currently use individual GL accounts for each fleet unit # but that doesn't give us the information we want to see because all of the repairs, fuel, maint., etc are also in that GL).

Hi cls23,

 

Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us here. It's important you get the help you need and I'll be happy to steer you in the right direction. QuickBooks is the go-to program for business owners looking to streamline their business. 

 

Based on what you've described, I can see how beneficial it would be to have a feature that functions beyond what the Classes feature currently offers. Since the feature you're looking for isn't available yet, I encourage you to send feedback about this to our engineers by clicking the Gear icon and clicking on the Feedback option. From here, you can share your feedback about the features you'd like to see in the program. In the meantime, check out this article here with more info on class tracking in QuickBooks Online.
