Timesheets and Classes in QBO

I entered timesheets with hours going to specific classes (we use classes for our project tracking...used to be Desktop user, recently migrated to QBO). When we ran payroll, the time did not get charged to those classes and was not represented on the class P & L. Help!

Hi there, japplebaum.

 

The assigned classes on the timesheet are allocated for the customer or vendor transactions. Once you create transactions for the billable hours, that's the time it'll be charged to those classes and be posted in your Profit and Loss report. 

 

You also have the option to assign default classes to your employees. You can follow these steps to do that: 

  1. Click on the Gear icon and select Payroll Settings.
  2. Go to Accounting and in the Classes section, select I use different classes for different employees.
  3. Click on OK.
  4. In the Preferences > Employee Classes section, assign a class for each employee. 
  5. Click OK.

I'm just around if you need more help. You take care and have a great day!

We don't have classes set up for employees.  Our employees work on different projects throughout the day.  Cannot assign them to one class.

This is a significant issue for us, too. For QB moderators, the IRS requires non-profits to report all expenses as G&A, Operations, or Fundraising expenses. So when our Operations Director spends a whole day at a fundraising event, we need a way to charge those eight hours to the Fundraising class.  

 

Charging time to different classes/departments is a core functionality of every P/R product I have used. Surely, there has to be a way to do that with QBO, other than hiring more staff to gather error-prone data and create journal entries manually.
