Want to set up location tracking in QuickBooks? Here in this article, we are going to discuss each and every step to set up and use location tracking in QuickBooks software. In QB you can use locations to arrange data from the different locations, regions, or outlets of the same company. And also you can assign each transaction and payroll adjustment in only one location like paycheck/paycheque transaction, year-to-date transaction. You can easily show a location on all transactions except transfers.
You can also see the locations later on your reports when you assign a location to each transaction as you enter.
This process (Assigning locations) also lets you manage groups of transactions in an efficient way. For example, if you can limit the Deposit screen then it shows only customer payments for a particular location. This will allow you to see all the payments for one location and deposit them as a group.
The payments you receive are automatically assigned to the location that was given to the invoice when it was entered. If you want to find another way of tracking segments, you can use classes, instead of locations or both location and class tracking.
There is two way to set up your locations: First, you need to turn on locations in Company Settings. The next one is, create a location in All Lists within the Gear Icon. Don’t forget that each location can have its own title, company name, address, email, and phone number for forms. One more thing to know that Location tracking features are available in QuickBooks Online Plus only.
