CIS and Service items

Hi Hope you and yours keeping safe and well.

 

When using the CIS feature does that mean the use of 'Service items' for (their intended purpose) tracking sales and costs, and standard descriptions, is now redundant because you are forced to use the CIS service items?  

 

Is it the Service items OR the Nominal accounts that QBO uses for CIS tracking or both?

 

Regards

Hi mugelbbub, thanks for your post - QuickBooks uses the CIS accounts in the item field to calculate CIS on your transactions, they also map to the CIS reports to allow you to track and submit monthly returns to HMRC, meaning it is not currently possible to use a regular service item as a CIS item.
