Limit on number of classes assigned to transaction?

Oct 31, 2006 2 Replies

I am trying to assign categories and classes to some expenses associated with remodeling my house and either I am doing somethng wrong or there is a limitation on the number of classes that can be assigned. For category I am using Home:Renovations then because I own two homes I have a class for each home (the class is the physical address) and since the house I am currently renovating is multiple stories and I am doing one floor at a time I wanted to assign a class for each floor. So a single transaction might look like this, Home:Renovations/123 My Street/1st Floor. With 123 My Street and 1st Floor both being classes. But thus far I have only been able to assign one of the classes, either the street address or the floor level.



Have I gone too far here? Is there a limitation on the number of classes assigned to a transaction? Anyone have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this? If I cannot figure it out I think my next best option is too assign a class for the house address then just use the memo field for which floor and other details. Normally I do not think I would care about keeping track of renovations by floor but I have one level that is going to be completely re-done and I would to know how much I spend in that area. Once this major renovation is complete I will probably just track which house and not worry about floor level.



Thanks, Sam

Yes. One class per transaction (or category, if you prefer). That's as of Q2006, can't speak for Q2007, though I have not heard of that being added to Q2007.

Sounds good to me. If you use consistent enough wording in the memo field, you can select on it to produce a report for a given floor.

Why not have a class per floor or combine Address and floor into one class. Instead of Home:Renovations/123 My Street/1st Floor use Home:Renovations/123 My Street-1st Floor?
