Question

Using Classes like Projects (as we do in Desktop).

Can I use a weekly timesheet to charge labor to a project that we have designated using a Class?  We don't use projects.  Our 'Classes' are our projects (just migrated from Desktop using Classes to accumulate income and expenses).

Good day, @japplebaum.

 

It seems like a duplicate post. My colleague has already provided an answer for you. Please refer to this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/reports-and-accounting/re-timesheets-and-classes-in-qbo/01/675056#M92053.

I am trying to ask my question in a different way because I feel like I am not being understood.  I feel that QBO just does not have the capability to do what we need it to do and may have to go back to desktop or another cloud based accounting software that can handle our needs.

Classes in QBO work just like Classes in desktop, except that you are limited to only 40 classes  in Plus. For unlimited Class tracking you need Advanced

I haven't found that to be the case.  In Desktop we use classes like we would a project.  So we bill expenses to classes.  And we charge non-billable labor hours to classes through our timesheets.  Those expenses including labor show up on our Profit and Loss by Class reports.  When I used the weekly timesheet in QBO and selected the class for which the employee worked on, it did not show up in the Statement of Activity by Class.

Let me explain how it works, Japplebaum.

 

The employees will not show in the Statement of Activity by Class report since the assigned class if for customers or items.  Not unless you've used your employees in the expense transactions.

 

We have different reports in QuickBooks Online. You can learn how to run the reports by class to help you achieve your goals.
