Why can't I add customer/project when categorizing some credits

Hello,

I want to be able to add customer/project when categorizing credits to my bank account (I use the 'Projects' to track my expenses by season and I want to be able to apply refunds from vendors to a specific season). The customer/project field is available for some credits, but not for others. Specifically it is not available for any of the credits on my linked business checking, but is available for the credits I've seen on a linked credit card.

 

Available here:

But not here:

    And follow up to my above comments. Note, this is a Shopify store. I am not manually invoicing customers, or tracking inventory, or sending receipts. Shopify has these features and does them automatically. I simply need to be able to record income that comes into my bank account under a project. How is this accomplished?


    I appreciate your time getting back here, sc_biz.

     

    Let me share some additional info about your situation.

     

    The information we receive is all dependent on what your Financial Institution shares with us. You may see the Customer/Project drop-down menu on some transactions. 

     

    If the option is not available on the transaction you want to add, you can use the Vendor/Customer drop-down list. Then, choose the project you've created in QuickBooks.

     

    Here's a sample screenshot for a visual reference:

    Hi sc_biz,

     

    Welcome and thank you for visiting the Community today!

     

    Currently, we're unable to tag projects or customers in cash-in/deposit/RECEIVED transactions, such as vendor refunds or customer payments. It will also prevent users from tagging them twice, especially on received payments.

     

    If your purpose of tagging a certain project on your vendor refund is to return the money back the to customer of that project, you can create them a refund receipt. 

     

    Let me know if you have other questions in mind.

    This isn't about issuing credits to customers, it's about tracking credits to myself. I have a fashion brand and I want to track profitability by season. So I've created two projects so far an A/W2021 project and a S/S2022 project. I want to assign costs and credits (either vendor refunds or sales) to those projects. But since now I find out that I can't assign credits to these projects, what am I supposed to do? How are people meant to track the profitability of a project rather than a timeframe?

    Thanks for sharing more details about your concern, @sc_biz.

     

    It's my pleasure to share more insights on how you can track your project income and its costs.

     

    In addition to my peer's response, you can track your fashion brand's profitability by season by creating a project in QuickBooks Online. Like the usual transactions added on a project (manually adding income and costs), you'll be able to match your recorded credits in QuickBooks with your online banking entries while being able to run a Project profitability report.




    Also, when you track credits to yourself, you can create a sales receipt to add it to the project.

     

    Feel free to take a look at this article for more details: Set up and create projects in QuickBooks Online.

     

    You might also want to track hourly labor costs and profitability by a project in QuickBooks Online when you're working as a team.
