How can I make batch changes to categorized transactions without having to go through and click every single one of them in my register

With your expense transactions, you can visit the Expenses menu from the left Dashboard. You can filter the transaction you want to update except Split transaction, then categorize them.

  • Go to the Expenses menu from the left Dashboard.
  • Select the Expenses tab.
  • Click the Filter drop-down.
  • Choose Type, Dates, and Category as you need.
  • Select Apply.
  • Choose the transaction by clicking the box beside the Date column.
  • Click the Batch actions drop-down arrow, then select Categorize selected.
  • Select the correct category by clicking the drop-down arrow in the Categorize Selected window.
  • Click Apply.

In this example below, it shows how to batch recategorize expenses from the Purchases account category to the Purchases-1 account category.

How to customize Sales Report by Sales Rep to calculate Commissions in QuickBooks Online QBO

Currently, there is no built-in Customer Sales Detail by the Sales Rep report to pay commission in QBO at this time.

The workaround in QBO is to use one of three available custom fields on the sales forms (invoice and sales receipt) for Sales Rep (as a text field). And then you can run the standard Sales by Customer Detail Report, and filter Group by Sales Rep. Since this is just a text field so you will need to assign sales rep every time you create an invoice or sales receipt.

With QBO Advanced version, you can assign Sales Rep at the Customer Information level but on other plans, such feature option is not available.

Customer Sales Detail Report customized by Sales Rep
Gear icon > Your Company > Account & Settings > Sales > Sales form content > Custom fields > Save
Create an Invoice: Select “+ New” > Customers > Invoice (or Sales Receipt > Enter Sales Rep
Run Report: Left Dashboard > Reports > Select Sales by Customer Detail > Filter Group by “Sales Report” > Run Report. (Optional: Save Customization button if you want to customize this report to make it your own report).
