I have a rental company and am using quickbooks for it

I am having trouble entering the rental amounts. When I do an invoice for a customer and choose the class and then do the payment and then go to the checkbook and do the deposit and choose the class it always seems to be entered twice in the customers report of the"profit and loss by class" .

If I don't choose the class then the amount goes into the "uncaterized" section of the profit and loss by class report. I would like to do it right!

What is the deal about this class stuff. Why is it getting entered twice for my customers balance. It is very confusing. What is the best way and least confusing way to do this in quickbooks?

Can someone help me? Thank you.

Im not overly familiar with that software but it sounds like you have "recurring entry" checked off somewhere. A recurring entry is one that doesn't change month to month such as in a rental payment.

Have you tried looking here?
