How to present the chart accounts with codes

I'd be pleased to help present your chart of accounts with codes in QuickBooks Online, nsbanoub.

 

QuickBooks Online offers a user-friendly feature to use account numbers or codes to keep your accounts organised. You can follow the steps below to enable this option.

 

  1. Click the Gear icon ⚙ and choose Account and settings.
  2. Select the Advanced tab.
  3. From the Chart of Accounts section, click the pencil icon ✎ to edit.
  4. Turn on Enable account numbers. If you want account numbers to show on reports and transactions, select Show account numbers.
  5. Hit Save and then Done.

 

Once done, you can go back to your Chart of Accounts and you'll see a column specific for account numbers or codes. See the sample screenshot below:
 

 

I'll be sharing with your the following articles. These write-ups contain information on what are the default accounts that can't be deleted from the system as well as other ways to handle your accounts:
