Should tags be general or vendor specific?

Hello there. I'll share information that could help you on this matter.

Using tags in QuickBooks Online can be a great way to categorize and organize your financial data. Depending on your specific needs and how you want to retrieve or analyze your data, you can use either general tags or vendor-specific tags. 

General tags are broad and used across all vendors and transactions. This approach can be helpful if you want to track high-level categories, such as expense types or departments. 

On the other hand, vendor-specific tags are more specific and used for transactions with a particular vendor. This approach is helpful to track expenses or revenue related to a specific project or client. 

I'm adding these articles you can use in the future:

Ultimately, which approach you choose depends on the complexity of your data and how you want to retrieve or analyze it. Regardless of which, using tags in QuickBooks Online can help you stay organized and make informed financial decisions. If you have more questions about tags, post them here in the forum. I'll be sure to answer them ASAP. Have a great day!
