Hi, @joshrohdich.

 

If you're trying to assign the expense to different suppliers, then you'll need to create each of the vendor's transaction. You can check out, this article: Enter, edit, or delete expenses.

 

However, if you're referring to distributing an expense to a different account or segment to your business, you can utilize our class tracking features in QBO.

 

Let's turn on first the feature by following the steps below:

 

  1. Go to the Gear ⚙ icon, then select Account and Settings.
  2. Choose Advanced, then hit the Edit button perpendicular to Categories.
  3. Turn on the Track classes, 
  4. Check to Warn me when a transaction isn’t assigned a class to know if everything got classified. 
  5. In the Assign classes drop-down, choose One to the entire transaction. So, you don't need to enter a class for each product you sell to your customer.
  6. Hit Save, then Done.

 

After that, you can now set up a class list to organize the transactions. Please note that creating a list is only available in QBO Plus and Advanced version. Also, it requires an admin login. If you don't have these versions, you have an option to upgrade your plan. So you're able to use class tracking. You may refer to this article: Upgrade your QuickBooks Online subscription.

 

Here's how to add a class: 

 

  1. Go to Settings ⚙, then choose All Lists.
  2. Select Classes.
  3. Hit New and enter a name.
  4. Tap Save.

 

For more details, check out this article: Create and manage classes in QuickBooks Online

 

Once done, you can now tag a class to each row or item in any of your transactions. Please visit this article to learn more about the process: Track your transactions by class. 

 

I've included these different topics below about handling budgets and reports by class. 

 

 

Additionally, please leave a comment below if you're referring to something else. So I can get back to you right away. I want to make sure that this will resolve.
