Manage Expense Reclasses

WRITERS NOTE: this page is NEW to 2017 and needs review

You can reclassify expense amounts between accounts, and can view expense reclass activity.

Create an Expense Reclass

In the Create Expense Reclass panel, you can reclassify expense amounts between accounts.

When you reclassify expense amounts between accounts, you must balance the reclass entries. Ensure you input the same dollar amount for both accounts, and ensure that you are debiting one account and crediting another account.

To create an expense reclass:

In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Transactions > Expenses > Expense Reclass > Create Expense Reclass.
You see the Create Expense Reclass panel.
Complete the options in upper section of the Create Expense Reclass panel.
All fields, with the exception of the Ledger Notes field, are required.
For each expense account that you are reclassifying, complete the information in the grid at the bottom of the panel.
By default, you see two blank rows. Use this area of the panel to enter the expense account name, reclass amount, fee currency, and the direction of the reclass.
You can update additional accounts using the pane that appears on the bottom of the panel, as follows:
– Click the lower pane.
– Right-click and select Add Rows.
– Enter the number of rows you want to add in the Enter Rows Count dialog box and click OK. You need to add a row for each additional expense account you want to reclassify.
– Complete the fields on each row you added.
Click Submit.
