Hi Doghouse!

Thanks for following up on this. Let me shed light on getting the Not Specified column on your report.

This happens when you didn't assign classes to some transactions including payroll. They will be grouped in the Not Specified column when you pull up class reports. It's just classes, not categories or accounts. Therefore, you don't need to change the payee, just assign a class to your payroll transactions. I'll walk you through the steps.

For payroll transactions:

1. Go to the Gear icon and choose Payroll Settings.
2. Scroll down and click the Pencil icon for Accounting.
3. Click the Pencil icon for Class tracking.
4. Choose how you want to track classes for your payroll and click Continue.
5. Click the Pencil icon for Want to update existing transactions.
6. Start date and click Update. Be sure it covers the dates of the paychecks that you want to retroactively add classes for.
7. Click Continue and then Done.

You can check your report again after assigning classes to your payroll transactions. If you'll miss the older transactions, go back to the setup and change the Start date again.

For non-payroll transactions, you will need to assign classes to each of them. However, you invite an accountant user that uses QBO Accountant, so they can add classes to your non-payroll transactions faster. Here's an article for your reference: Invite an accountant.

You can always go back to this thread if you need further assistance. I'll be happy to help you again!
