Hi All,
I am a fairly inexperienced Reckon Accounts Plus user, currently doing just a few hours a week admin/bookkeeping. We receive grants that we need to track our expenditure for. Is utilising a 'class' the best way to handle this (set up a class for that particular grant and select it when entering purchases/expenses for that grant?) If so, what is the best reporting to then run to get a list of all purchases, are there 'class' reports or do I need to use filters to get what i need.
Thanks
Jan

    Jan; it's the only way to go. I do a number of NFP organisations with numerous grants and all classed.. Reporting on classes in Reckon is excellent. There are a couple of things to be aware of when allocating an expense across grants. You can always call me if you need help on 0266834083

    Yes using the Class option is the best way to track  grant income and expense.
    Then you can do a profit and loss by class to track the progress of the grant and also when doing the aquittal.

    Thanks Charley, appreciate your reply and may take you up on the offer for help next week. I have set one grant up with a class attached to it and have entered purchases against that grant (small grant with only about 6 purchases).
    I don't have access to Reckon today as not at work but what would you say is the best report to capture? I think I chose Expenses by Supplier detail filtered by class but thought there should be class reports? Thanks

    Jan I always use the Profit and Loss detail, then use the filter and select the class you want to report on.  This will list all income, journals and expenses/bills that are applicable to that class (grant)
