Join nowHow do you lock new classes from being added? Users are accidentally creating new classes while adding invoices and we want to prevent this from happening going forward.

Welcome and thanks for posting your concern here in the Community, @Brian170. At the moment, we can only turn off the class tracking in QuickBooks. Doing this will stop them from showing up as a line on an invoice or other sales forms.
As an alternative, you'll also want to manage users and their roles in QuickBooks. Refer to the steps under How to assign a restricted role to a user in this help article: Create data level permissions in QuickBooks Desktop.
For future reference, you can also browse some of our articles and other related topics if you need some insights from other users on the QuickBooks Resource page.
I'll be around to assist if you have additional questions or if you need more help with your QuickBooks transactions. Take care!
