2. Select Preferences.
3. Click Accounting, 
4. Go to the Company Preferences tab.
5. Select the Use class tracking for transactions checkbox and the Assign classes to checkbox. 
6. Then click OK.

To assign the classes :

2. Click Chart of Accounts.
3. Locate the income or expense account.
4. Right-click on your mouse and select Edit Account.

To be guided in managing your classes, you can run reports by class. Feel free to check out this article for the complete guidelines: Filter, sort, or total reports by Class.
