I have expenses to record and invoices to post which have split costs and revenues against them, I have set up my tags within tag groups and want to identify each line of the cost or revenue against each tag - can this be done?

You can only assign one tag on an invoice or expense, jackie.

 

I recommend using classes since you need to group income and expenses for things like job costing. You can also use classes to track specific line items.

 

Let me guide you through the steps on how to set it up.

 

  1. Go to Settings ⚙, then select Account and Settings.
  2. Select Advanced, then select the Categories section to edit.
  3. Check Track classes.
  4. Check Warn me when a transaction isn't assigned a class. This is optional, but it's good to turn on, so when you look at reports, you know everything got classified.
  5. Under Assign classes, choose One to each row in transaction.
  6. Click Save, then Done.

 

Once your settings are in order, you can create a class list

 

After you set up your classes, you can start to organise your customer and supplier transactions by class. Then, run reports to check sales, expenses, or profitability by business segment.

Also, I'm adding these articles as well in case you need more details about tags.
