No worries. I’m here to help you, Sarah.
You’re right. You’ll need to upgrade your subscription plan so you can utilize the Class feature and make your sales and expenses more organized.
QuickBooks Online has the ability to generate a report like Profit and Loss by class, so you don’t need to group them. All you have to do is to set up each class properly. Before that, make sure to turn the feature on. I’ll show you how:
- Select the Gear icon, then Account and Settings.
- Go to the Advanced tab, then select the Categories section to edit.
- Check Track classes.
- Mark Warn me when a transaction isn't assigned a class. This is optional, but it's good to turn on, so when you look at reports, you know everything got classified.
- Under Assign classes, select One to entire transaction or One to each row in transaction.
- Press Save, then Done.
