Join nowI can provide a clarification on deactivating classes, dragontheatre.
The inactive classes will reduce your usage limits depending on its categories or sets. If your account has default classes created or classes imported from QuickBooks Desktop, these won't count towards the limit.
These are the default classes:
All the classes that you manually created will reduce your usage limits if you deactivate them.
This update is also an opportunity to help clean up your books and remove the items that are no longer needed. For more information about usage limits, you can read this article: What are Usage Limits in QuickBooks Online?
Here's an article that will help you in tracking your transactions by class.
Let me know in the comment section if you have further questions about usage limits. I'd be pleased to answer them.
No it's definitely a class we created. And I thought maybe it was an issue with the class not being "empty" but I ran a report back 30 years just for fun and it's definitely empty.
No it's definitely classes we created. I even made sure there were no transactions attached to it for 30 years (which is longer than we've been around) and still says it will count toward our total.
Hi dragontheatre,
I'd like to add some information about deleting classes. Let me share them with you so you can resolve this.
If you're migrating or importing classes to QuickBooks, these are not counted towards your usage limits. You'll want to make sure you're deleting a class that is not part of the migration or an imported class.
You can run a class list report to verify what these classes are.
You'll see from the Last Modified By column if the class is imported or not.
You can read more about usage limits in this article: What are usage limits in QuickBooks Online?
I've also added our page about income and expenses if you need some help articles for your future tasks.
Reach out to me if you need help with anything else. I'll be around for you.
Nope, not migrating, just finally trying to clean up the books for the new limits. I deactivated classes older than 7 years but it hasn't helped.
Hi there, dragontheatre.
You already did the steps to reduce the class, but still getting the same result. At this point, I would recommend contacting our Support. That way, can use a screen-sharing tool to see your setup and gather more data to investigate this.
If you have other questions, please let me know.
If there are transactions under an inactivated class, will it count toward my limit?
Let me provide additional information about the usage limit, @dflesch.
Inactivated classes with transactions won't count towards the usage limit unless they're migrated from QuickBooks Desktop or coming from a third-party app.
