Hello,
I'm accounting illiterate but learning.
(so please be gentle and understanding.)
In re-entering my bills/purchases into QBpro, I realised that perhaps the
way I was going about entering particular purchases from the past year
wasn't in my best interest.
----Here's a simple example of what I mean:
for auto gas purchased through the year, I've created a MAIN account for:
Car Maint/Services
Underwhich I created sub-accounts for purchases:
- Supplies
- Gas
- Auto Mech.Services
This all works fine for me. BUT, Should I be going the EXTRA tedious MILE by
entering in the names of any/all shops I purchased from as YET MORE SUB
ACCOUNTS OF THE ABOVE?
My thinking was how doing so would leave me with yet another 100 or so
meaningless sub-accounts. Would it be better to just notate the
companies'/gas stations'/supply stores' names within the Memo????
Hope my question was clearly understod by all and it makes sense.
Many, many thanks for any insight and advice!
