Step by Step guild to creating a statement with data from the classes/depts in QuickBooks. The Statement Wizard has the option of filtering a statement by a single class or dept. The following steps are intended to be used when more advanced class/dept reporting is needed, than what can be done using the Statement Wizard.


1. As described above, add all of the trial balances to the company, that will be needed. Each separate column, in the statement, that requires a unique class/dept, will need a separate  trial balance. Keep in mind the limitation of the number of common trial balances that can be added to a company, For information on this limitation Click Here.


2. Start a new blank statement using the Statement Wizard with only one selected column. The selected column can be of any type.


3. Then add the necessary columns to the new statements. When adding each column, select the appropriate trial balance that you created in step 1. The one columns that was added in step 2, can be deleted, or the trial balance selection can be changed. This can be done using the Column Maintenance page.


4. Complete the balance of the statement by adding statement lines, assigning QuickBooks accounts to those lines, and adding totaling and formating.
