I am trying to figure out if I can use Projects to track events. At these events we have income from more than one customer. Is it possible to record those sales receipts to the one project for the event? If not, is there a better recommended way to track income and expenses for an invent (other than classes as we are already using those otherwise)?
Let me help you track income and expenses for an event, chanscar.
The option to record those sales receipts to the one project for the event is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). The best thing we can do is use the Tags tracking features. When running an event company, you can see how much you earned and spent for each event.
Then, add as many tags as you like to a transaction though we can only choose one tag per group. Create a group called "events" make tags for specific events and add them to your events group. Here's how:
Once done, create tags while you're working on a form, like an invoice or expense. Here's how:

Thanks for this answer. The only problem I've run into now is that a Tag applies to the whole transaction. Therefore, if I have a split transaction, there is no way to tag the portion of the transaction that the tag applies to, correct?
Thanks for getting back into this thread, @chanscar.
Yes, you're correct that the tag feature can only be added per transaction and is not possible with split transactions. You're unable to tag a specific line item on your sales receipts. You may visit these articles for more details about this option:
If you need to group income and expenses for things like job costing, budgeting, or fund accounting, I suggest using the classes feature. It's also best to use classes to track specific line items in your transactions.

Thanks again for your response. I am looking at my options and see I can run a P&L by Class however I cannot filter by tag which I would like to be able to do. Is there a way to achieve that?
We appreciate you getting back in the thread, chanscar.
I'll share information regarding the ability to run Profit and Loss by Class and filter it by tag.
In QuickBooks Online, filtering the Profit and Loss by Class report by tag is unavailable. However, you can also run Profit and Loss by Tag Group separately, which you can filter by class.
Here's how:
