Solved: How to assign class to payroll expenses?

FateCandylaneT · ‎April 26, 2023

I've got steps to help you navigate the class tracking feature on your payroll settings, Outside8.

As tracking classes specifies a different class for each detail line of a transaction, you can follow the steps below to help you locate this built-in feature in your QuickBooks Online account.

Go to Settings, and select Payroll Settings.
Find the Accounting section and click on the pencil icon to edit.
Under the Class Tracking section, click Edit.
Choose how you want to track classes for your payroll transactions.
Once done, click on Save. Then, Done.

I sat with QBO support this morning (04/26/23). The option was removed from QB Essentials/Payroll. End of story, not coming back. I let them know I was very displeased. I thank you for your comment.

I did this but when I export the certified payroll to excel to print all the class's show up as hourly. Please help!

I'm echoing a message from here in 2020:

I only just discovered the setting to assign a class to different employees. I also need the ability to assign multiple classes to a single employee which I'm surprised isn't a supported feature in Quickbooks Online.

When I do this, I get an error message that says "to proceed you need to choose a class from the drop down menu" and I do. Everyone is assigned a class from the drop down menu and it still won't save. The support person I spoke to was able to override specific employees but I want to be able to edit it. Any suggestions?

Thanks for joining this thread, ehereford.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), the option to modify the class for each of your employees on your end is unavailable, and it works as designed in the current offerings.

I understand how essential it is to have the ability to edit the classes on your own. For now, I'll take note of your feedback to help improve our service. Also, you may personally send this product suggestion to our software engineers to work on its progress and include it in future updates. Let me show you how:

Go to the Gear icon at the top.
Select Feedback.
Type in your feedback and product suggestions.
Click Next to submit them.
