Advanced Feature
This article describes an optional configuration used by accountants who require more detailed financial reporting.
The Detailed Breakdown option allows BridalLive to export accounting information to QuickBooks with additional detail.
Most stores do not need this feature enabled.
This option is typically used only when an accountant requests more detailed reporting inside QuickBooks.
What the Detailed Breakdown Does
When enabled, the Detailed Breakdown allows QuickBooks exports to be separated by:
Department
Stock vs Special Order sales
This allows accountants to view income and cost of goods sold with more detailed categorization.
How It Works
When the Detailed Breakdown setting is enabled:
BridalLive will prompt you to map your BridalLive Departments to QuickBooks accounts.
For each department, you will assign:
| Export Category | QuickBooks Account |
|---|---|
| Income (Stock) | Income account for stock sales |
| COGS (Stock) | Cost of goods sold for stock items |
| Income (Special Order) | Income account for special orders |
| COGS (Special Order) | Cost of goods sold for special orders |
These accounts are pulled directly from your QuickBooks Online Chart of Accounts.
Your accountant can help determine the correct account mapping.
When to Use This Feature
You may want to enable the Detailed Breakdown if:
your accountant wants department-level reporting
you want to track stock vs special order profitability
your business operates with multiple departments that require separate accounting
When You Should Leave It Disabled
Most stores should leave this feature turned off.
BridalLive’s standard QuickBooks export already records the information needed for typical bookkeeping and financial reporting.
Important
The Detailed Breakdown feature is completely optional.
If your accountant has not specifically requested it, you can safely leave this setting disabled.
