Question

Is there a way to create fields to assign values for multiple taxes (eg. GST, PST, Liquor) and separate gratuity to expenses captured from a linked credit card account?

Hello userinfo39,

 

Your taxes are an important part of your business. Making sure you're accurately recording them saves you from a lot of hassle especially during year end. Rest assured, I'd be glad to steer you in the right direction so you can continue being the best at managing your work. 

 

At this time, you can create custom fields which you can add to your sales forms. You can easily set up these fields using the steps below: 

  1. Select Settings ⚙️.
  2. Select Account and Settings.
  3. Select Sales under Accounts and Settings, then go to the Sales form content section.
  4. Select the pencil icon in that section.
  5. Enter a Name into each dialogue box beneath the heading Custom fields and select whether you want the field to be internal (only displayed in QuickBooks), or public (displayed in QuickBooks and displayed/printed on sales forms).
  6. Select Save and then Done. These fields will now appear on your sales forms.

It's also important to note the following: 

  • If nothing is entered in the custom fields on a specific sales form, the field will not print.
  • Editing the checkboxes and names in the custom forms styles section of QuickBooks will change all custom form styles custom fields on the Sales transaction. The best practice is to check all three options and use only what is needed when filling out the Sales transaction. The unused fields will not appear on the printed or delivered form.

If you'd like to add custom fields which are more extensive as you've described above, I'd recommend sending feedback to our product developers.
