How to view Class on Suppliers

Hello there, Lynn.

In QuickBooks Online, customizing columns, such as adding a Class field to the Suppliers list, is currently unavailable. This limitation exists because classes are specifically designed to categorize transactions, such as bills, expenses, or invoices, rather than the suppliers themselves. Meanwhile, suppliers are considered static entities, serving as sources for transactions but not requiring segmentation by Class.

However, by assigning classes to transactions, you can accurately track and report how purchases or expenses relate to different departments, projects, or locations. To see which classes are connected to suppliers, you can use reports like Purchases by Vendor Detail, which display Classes based on the transactions associated with each supplier.

Come back to this post if you have other questions or concerns.
