Question

How can you adjust the account on a transaction in a P&L? It says non-specified & I need to classify and chart account change.

I'm trying to departmentalize the business I work for. I see the p&l by class and I'm working to fix the "non-specified" category by classifying and charting the account, but it only allows me to edit the class. How do I edit the charted account?

Welcome to the Community space, christina. Allow me to share some additional insights about adjusting the account in the Profit and Loss report. 

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we can remove the transactions from the Not Specified column by adding a class to Products & services or by assigning a class to the transaction itself.  

 

To add Class on the Products & services, follow the outlined steps: 

 

  1. Go to the Products & services page. 
  2. Choose the item you want to set the Class to and hit Edit
  3. From the Class dropdown menu, select a Class. 
  4. Click Save and close

 

To select a class when we record our transactions, we have to: 
 

  1. Choose any transactions. 
  2. From the Item details field, go to the Class column and select a class. 
  3. Fill out the necessary information. 
  4. Hit Save and close

 

Also, if you're referring to modifying the account from your Invoice, we can review what item/service we selected upon recording it and change the income account if necessary. 

 

Furthermore, I'll add this article about how you can use your reports outside QuickBooks: Export your reports to Excel from QuickBooks Online
