Question

Class

Can I setup a vendor to default to a class?  When I setup a new vendor it warns me that I didn't assign a class yet which tells me this is possible, yet I can't find a setting anywhere on the new vendor setup.  Currently I have to choose the class each time I add a bill.

 

Thanks

It's great to see you in the Community, Scott PMC.

 

We'll have to add the class on the vendor's profile so you'll no longer have to manually choose the one you wish to use to the bill. I'd be delighted to walk you through the process.


Here's how:

 

  1. In your company, head to the Vendors menu at the top menu bar and choose the Vendor Center.
  2. Go to the Vendors tab and double-click the supplier's name from the list to open the Edit Vendor screen.
  3. From there, tap the Additional Info menu on the left panel and click the Class drop-down to select the segment or class you wish to link to the vendor.
  4. Click OK for the changes to take effect.

 

Here's an article that goes into detail about the feature: Set up and use class tracking in QuickBooks Desktop. It also outlines how to set up class categories for accounts and expenses.

 

I want to make sure you have the materials and tools you need to help you with your daily accounting tasks. The Community page provides a collection of topics that address concerns such as tax management, cash flow, payroll, and banking to name a few.


Reach out to me again if you have other QuickBooks concerns or additional questions about the class tracking function. I'm always ready to respond to them, Scott PMC.

Unfortunately on the very last step where Class is selected, that drop down menu does not appear on my screen.  Maybe there is a way to have it show up?
