What Kind of Fresh H E Double Hockey Sticks is This?

In QB starter or basic, I’m now seeing “Classes” tags and a “Location” field.  At first I thought I had selected “Bill” instead of “Expense!”   More pointless, annoying “features” to keep the developers busy at Intuit, I see.  We have a very small business using Cash basis accounting.   Remember a couple of years ago when QB pushed TAGS on us?  Then once you started using them, they took the “feature” away and were on to some other new shiny object.  Can’t even run reports based on tags anymore either.  Ridiculous.  I’ve gone to Settings-->Advanced and there is no ability to turn Classes nor Location off in Expenses that I can see.

I recognize how extra fields can definitely feel like unnecessary clutter when you just want a clean view. Currently, only the Class column can be removed from your Expense transaction page.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to the + Create menu in the top-left corner, then select Expense.
  2. Click the Gear icon located in the top-right corner of the Expense form.
  3. Under the Columns menu that slides out, uncheck the box for Class.

 

You don't have to worry about the Location field impacting your books. Since you're on the Starter plan, the actual feature behind it is locked and unusable unless you upgrade to Plus or Advanced.
