Discount Given (Value or %) on an invoice-does not map to a class. When I run P and Loss by Class, Discount given shows as not specified. Any way to allocate to a class?

Hello there, @MK18.

I appreciate your effort in reaching out to the Community.

I’m here to guide you on how to allocate your discounts that will show in the report under your specified Class. Before that, is the Track Classes option in the Categories section set to "One to each row in transaction?” You can refer to the screenshot below.


 

QuickBooks Online will automatically assign the “Not Specified” class for Discount Given if your Class tracking setting is set to One to each row in transaction. For us to assign the Discount Given to your desired class, we'll have to update the settings to One to entire transaction.

 

Here’s how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon .
  2. Under Your Company section, select Account and settings.
  3. On the left tab, click Advanced.
  4. Under the advanced tab, select Categories, and turn on Track Classes.
  5. Under assign classes, there are two options. Click the drop-down arrow ▼ and select One to entire transaction.
  6. Select "Save” and “Done".

 


By running the report, you can now see the discounts given under your specified class.

 

 

To correct the transactions, you may change the settings manually and go back to each invoices.

 

Just tell me when you need further assistance with the transactions that are reflected in your reports. I’m just here to assist you with that. Have a great day ahead!

Hi Many thanks, sorted with discount.  Can I also ask you about Exchange gain or loss - that also shows in Unspecified on the Profit and Loss report - any way of allocating those to a class?

Hi there, @MK18.

 

Thanks for following up with us. 

 

I wanted to chime in to let you know that adding a class to the Exchange Gain Or Loss account is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online. The Exchange Gain Or Loss is calculated once the payment is applied. You can only assign a class in the invoice and not at the time of payment.

 

You can see the help articles I've included below for further details:

 

 

Please let me know if you have any follow up questions. I'm always around to lend a hand. Take care!
