CLASSIFICATION REPORTING

Classifications are a way to tag your transactions for more meaningful reporting. The use cases are wide and varied, however common examples are classifying transactions by region, sales rep, or business division. Classifications are non-mandatory.

To mange your classification settings, go to our classifications help page.

The customer transaction report and supplier transaction report are the first reports to include classifications. The Classification feature for IPA Books+ is a progressive release. Additional classification reporting will be available in subsequent updates. 

The customer transaction report is accessible via the Customers category in the Report Centre. The supplier transaction report is  accessible via the Suppliers category in the Report Centre.

Classifications are not enabled by default for these two reports. To enable classifications in the reports please do the following steps:

  • Open the report
  • Reporting > Reports centre > Customers (category) > Customer transaction report
  • Reporting > Reports centre > Suppliers (category) > Supplier transaction report
  • Click ‘Show more options’
  • Enable the classifications tick box
  • Choose whether you want to show all classifications or selected classifications
  • Set the reporting period and click refresh to update the report

When using a classification on a receipt, the classification is only applicable to the entries on the ‘New’ tab within the receipt. 

If a receipt is linked to a transaction (invoice, journal or supplier adjustment note) via the ‘Allocated’ tab within the receipt. The classification should be set within the linked transaction (invoice, journal or supplier adjustment note).

When using a classification on a payment, the classification is only applicable to the entries on the ‘New’ tab within the payment. If a payment is linked to a transaction (bill, journal or customer adjustment note) via the ‘Allocated’ tab within the payment.
