Thank you for posting, hoosierno1.

 

I can share some information about journal entries assigned to an unspecified category.

 

When there's a Line item without class or a journal entry with blank lines and 0.00 figure they will automatically be included on the Not Specified category.

 

Also, Debit and Credit should be blank if there's no account associated to it. This unspecified category will only show when you run a report by Class or Location.

 

To correct this or delete the journal entry that causes this not specified category, here's how to reverse or delete a journal entry article for more information. 

 

That's it. If you have any other questions or would like me to clarify anything else about your journal entries, let me know. I am always glad to help in any way I can.​ Have a good day.

I appreciate the screenshot you've provided, @orangzeb.

 

Let's open the journal entry and make sure that you've assigned a specific class on it. 

 

Once you assigned a class on each line item on the Journal Entry, save it and re-run the report.

 

If you're unable to assign a class on each line item, you can review your class tracking settings. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Choose Account and Settings.
  3. From the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Categories section.
  4. In the Assign classes drop-down, choose One to each row in transaction.
  5. Hit Save, then Done to record the changes.
