locations is critical in my rental business.  Since switching to quickbooks back in 2017 we have constantly struggled due to the lack of this functionality.  We constantly have expenses that are incurred for, materials purchased, contractor payments, combined insurance policies, you name it that are applicable across multiple property .  Instead we are constantly modifying our material purchases so they occur on multiple receipts, asking contractors to separate invoices, it’s embarrassing, creates a huge amount of extra work on our part where we are modifying our business activities to adapt to our accounting system.  A simple thing like insurance which is applicable to all locations must now be dealt with using intermediary accounts etc.  A work around was to duplicate existing expense categories to track the split or in some cases creating a combined location instance for each location combination.  Doing so has increased our number of accounts an order of magnitude which has forced us into a quickbooks advanced account almost tripling our s/w costs per year.  We know we can instead use classes for locations and locations in place of class structure now but going back and swapping the inputs on over 18000 transactions since we started using the s/w is terrifying.
