Insights into QuickBooks Class Tracking
QuickBooks class tracking lets you track individual expenses and categorize mutual expenditures beyond multiple accounts. You can arrange classes for certain transactions that you think are important to the community through QuickBooks Online class monitoring. By doing so, by the location, department, business office, or any other breakdown of your business, you would be able to monitor account balances.
There are certain things that need to consider while using QuickBooks class tracking:
- Allocating a class to any posting transaction is important. So, you can organize everything seamlessly into a definite class.
- Before you generate reports, ensure that all the transactions must have been allocated. It is recommended that you run unclassified reports on gains and losses.
- In QuickBooks version 2011 or later, you can also maintain a balance sheet per class.
- You will also get a “Turn on Class Monitoring” feature at QuickBooks. Without worrying, you should toggle this feature on, as it won’t affect your file reports and previous transactions.

🔶 If an invoice is assigned to the same class in its entirety, you must click on the drop-down list and then select any invoice that is of interest to you
🔶 You may also separately assign different classes to each of the objects in the line.
💠 Make a note of the fact that not all invoice models have a class column.
🔶 However, you can add templates by selecting the invoice form you want to change and then clicking on the ‘Customize’ option in the toolbar
🔶 After the previous process has been completed, once the Customization Data Layout window opens, you can add classes under the section of Columns
💠 QuickBooks offers two reports to its users that are explicitly designed to monitor transactions based on class. Those two records are the balance sheet by class benefit & loss.
🔶 In the Reports menu under the ‘Company & Financial’ heading, you can find both of the reports

💠 Navigate to the Lists section, then the Customer & Vendor Profile Lists, and pick the “form” you want.
💠 Here, as you did when classes were developed, you will have to follow the same instructions.
