Thank you. This DOES work!.  My only problem is our accountant wants EVERYTHING to be put to a class and customer. So I created a "not applicable" customer, and a "not applicable" class.  Also, this helps me easily see what is NOT assigned and correct it.

In the case of the several items showing up as unbilled, it was all these "not applicable' transactions.  If I remove the name and class, it doesn't show up on the unbilled but does show up on the "items not assigned to a job" or "items not assigned to a class" reports.

I think I will leave them as is for now. It's mostly ME that hates seeing them on the unbilled list.  

I may even see how I can re-do these entries in a way other than as a journal entry.

But THANK YOU, because at least I have an answer !
