how can we track specific event income & expenses without creating another class? the event has multiple customers and vendors so the project function does not work

You're absolutely right, Jamie.

Projects are typically tied to a single customer, which makes them unsuitable for events involving multiple customers and vendors.

As an alternative, I recommend creating dedicated income and expense accounts specifically for the event.

To create an income account, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top, then select Chart of accounts.
2. Click the New account button.
3. Enter the income account for the Account name.
4. Select an income for the Account type, and then choose the Detail type from the dropdowns.
5. (Optional) Add a Description to add extra information about this account. 
6. Select Save. 

To create an expense account, here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top, then select Chart of accounts.
2. Click the New account button.
3. Enter the income account for the Account name.
4. Select an expense for the Account type, and then choose the Detail type from the dropdowns.
5. (Optional) Add a Description to add extra information about this account. 
6. Select Save. 

Once you've created these accounts, use them to track all transactions related to the event, regardless of the customers or vendors involved. This method keeps event tracking organized while allowing you to manage invoicing and bills as usual with customers and vendors.
