GL classes are used to segment transactions posted to the general ledger. They can be used for several different types of needs. The most common use of classes is to segment transactions by company, department, or office. When entering transactions such as vendor invoices or client invoices, you can select different classes on each transaction at the header and the line. When the transaction is posted to the general ledger, the system will add the class from the transaction on each posted entry. When running your financial reports, you can filter the transactions on the report by class.
