Q & A with Will English:
Q: Will QuickBooks Point of Sale (QBPOS) let you classify your sales like QuickBooks financial using classes? We have 3 different classes – landscaping, nursery & lawn maintenance.
A: In QuickBooks POS, you use departments instead of classes. That being said, departments are not transferred over to QuickBooks Financial. If you are using version 10, multi-store is built into the system. Using the Multi-store feature allows you to assign a class to a specific store. My guess, having worked with a number of companies in your industry, is that you are only using POS for the Nursery. If so, then go to the File Menu, then Preferences, and then Company. Next, go to the Multi-store setting and check the box Use Classes with QuickBooks. Then you can choose the Nursery class for your store. Keep in mind that if you have an earlier version of POS, this will only work if you have the Multi-store version.
