Question

Transaction List by Customer to include a column for vendors?

I just switched to QuickBooks online. We bill by customer, and need to pull reports of transactions by customer. However, it looks like on the report there is no option to add a column for the vendors of each transaction. Similarly, in the customer section it will show you the billable amount, but not the vendor that bill is from unless I click several times to go into the bill. Is there a way to add a vendor file on the Transaction by customer report?
QuickBooks desktop can do this, why can't it be done in the online version?

Hi, @LS7919. I'm here to help. 

 

Reports in QuickBooks Online (QBO) are different from those in QuickBooks Desktop since both systems are designed to cater to different user needs and preferences. While there's no option to add a vendor column to a Transaction List by Customer report in QBO, I can suggest an alternative report closer to your specifications as a workaround. 

 

You can consider running a Transaction Detail by Account report following these steps:

 

  1. Go to Reports.
  2. In the search field, type "Transaction Detail by Account," then select the report. 
  3. If applicable, click on Switch to classic view.
  4. Select Customize.
  5. Choose None from the Group by drop-down menu.
  6. Under the Rows/Columns section, click on Change columns.
  7. Put a checkmark for Customer and Vendor.
  8. Under the Filter section, select Bill from the Transaction type drop-down menu. 
  9. Reorder the columns if necessary. Kindly see the image below in reordering column headers.
  10. Select Run report.

 

To save the current customizations of the report, you can refer to this article: Memorize reports in QuickBooks Online.
