I want to know where to set up my subcontractor so I can record their payments (payroll). Do I set them up under the employee tab, or as a supplier? thanks in advance!

Hi jodi-cleaninglad,

 

Being able to add a sub-contractor would be a great option.

 

As of now, this option is unavailable in QuickBooks Online. As a workaround, we recommend that you use the account numbers of similar suppliers (vendors). This way, you can group your suppliers list for easy reference.

 

For example, you can set up them as:

 

  • ATT #123
  • ATT #456
  • ATT #789

 

Furthermore, you can run the Vendor Balance Detail report if you want the total balance amount for the vendors. I'll add these steps as your guide:

 

  1. Click the Reports tab.
  2. Enter and select Vendor Balance Detail.
  3. Click Customize.
  4. Set the appropriate Report period range and then select Filter.
  5. Select Vendor and choose the vendors that you want to include in the report.
  6. Select Run report.

 

I'm always around whenever you have concerns about adding sub-contractors.
