Can a primary admin create a budget by class vs actual report? I am trying to create a budget by class but in vain.

Yes, you can create a Budget vs Actual report by class as a primary admin, info2266.

To get started, you'll need to enable the Track classes feature. Please note that this functionality is exclusive to QuickBooks Online Plus or Advanced subscriptions. If you are currently using QuickBooks Online Simple Start or Essentials, consider upgrading your plan.

1. Go to Settings, then select Account and settings.
2. In the Advanced tab, scroll down to Categories.
3. Toggle the Track classes feature on.
4. Hit Save, then Done.

Once done, create a budget by classes. You can refer to Step 2: Create your budget in this article: Create or import budgets in QuickBooks Online.
