MVP Help Required

Hi

I have tries adding classifications for some rental properties I own, no
problem.

My previous way was to enter the details as follows
From: ABC Rental Agency
Category: Split /Multiple Categories (In this area I would have several
items listed on my statement from ABC Rental Agency e.g.: Rental Income ,
Repairs, Management Fess etc etc)

The only problem with this is how do I associate it with a particular
property?
My method was to put the address in the memo field the only problem with
this is you have to remember!!

I thought the best way would be to add classification of the different
addresses I own, but I have a problem that I cannot enter Split /Multiple
Categories anymore. Because in classifications I can only enter one item and
I am not able to enter any details under Category: Split /Multiple
Categories ???


I now find when I enter a split in categories it will no longer work as it
auto adds split categories in the categories field and the new
classification field?????

If I delete the entry in the classification field it deletes the categories
field.

Hope this makes sense but its doing my nut in.

Please help Dale

For the second time, I don't understand your post. But I'm not an MVP. Maybe
that's why.

You've defined the first classification as, say, "Class"

You've created a Class, say "Rental Properties"

You've created a Subclass, say "123 Elm, #3B"

Now your transaction entries all show two lines in the category area, one
for Category and one for Class. This is true in Split as well as un-split
transactions.

You can enter cat/subcat like Other Income:Rental Pmt Received and
class/subclass like Rental Properties:
123 Elm, #3B.

What's the problem? I think you are doing something fundamentally wrong but
your description is insufficient for me to figure out what. If you go to
Accounts & Bills|Categories & Payees and clock on the entry immediately
below Preferred payee names on the left, what does it say and what does it
do???

Thanks Dick

I guess I am doing something fundamentally wrong that's why I need help from
people like you.

Well I have one classification called properties which is under 'Preferred
payee names'.

Added to the properties list is 3 addresses one my home and two which I own
and are rental properties I think these are separate classes if I understand
correctly.

Under each property class is a separate sub class for each property rent ,
fees, repairs etc etc.

But when I receive a payment from ABC Rentals Agency on their statement are
several items which I used to put in a split categories.

In the new classifications I cannot see how I enter all the e different
transactions.
