“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
QuickBooks’ budget module has limited support for class and location-based budget tracking and lacks automated synchronization capabilities with external spreadsheet budgets. This makes it difficult to track budget performance across multiple organizational dimensions simultaneously.
Here’s how to create seamless synchronization between QuickBooks class and location data with your budget tracking sheets for comprehensive multi-dimensional analysis.
Sync multi-dimensional QuickBooks data using Coefficient
Coefficient provides seamless QuickBooks sync for class and location data that QuickBooks’ native budget tools cannot effectively handle. This enables sophisticated budget integration with multi-dimensional organizational tracking that QuickBooks’ limited budget functionality cannot provide.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import multi-dimensional data from QuickBooks.
Use Coefficient’s “From Objects & Fields” method to import transactions with both class and location codes simultaneously from QuickBooks. Select fields like Class, Location, Account, Amount, Date, and Vendor to get comprehensive organizational data. This provides more detailed information than QuickBooks’ standard budget reports, which often separate or omit class and location data.
Step 2. Set up automated hierarchical sync.
Schedule regular imports that maintain class and location hierarchies, ensuring your budget tracking sheets reflect QuickBooks’ organizational structure automatically. Configure daily or weekly refreshes to keep your budget sheets synchronized with QuickBooks’ class and location taxonomy without manual mapping updates.
Step 3. Create aligned budget structure.
Build spreadsheet layouts that mirror QuickBooks’ class and location taxonomy with class-based budget allocations for departments, projects, and divisions, location-specific budget tracking for branches, facilities, and regions, and cross-dimensional analysis showing class performance by location. Use formulas likefor precise budget segment tracking.
Step 4. Apply advanced filtering and dynamic allocation.
Use Coefficient’s filtering options to create targeted views for specific class codes for departmental budget tracking, location-based filtering for regional budget analysis, and combined class/location filters for precise budget segments. Create dynamic budget allocation formulas that automatically distribute budgets based on historical class and location spending patterns using.
