    How to enable classes in Daily Summary sync<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s how to use classes in Synder Daily Summary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. First, you\u2019ll need to set up the classes in your accounting company, unless you have already done it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For QuickBooks Online:<\/strong>
    Click on the Gear icon in the top right corner of the screen, then select \u201cAll Lists\u201d under the \u201cLists\u201d section. From there, select \u201cClasses,\u201d and then click the \u201cNew\u201d button to create a new class. You can create classes based on different categories, such as products\/services, payment processors, warehouses or regions of sales.
    Note:<\/strong> To be able to create classes, enable them in QuickBooks first by going to \u201cSettings\u201d \u2192 \u201cAccount and Settings\u201d \u2192 \u201cAdvanced\u201d \u2192 \u201cCheck Track classes\u201d. Learn more     here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For Xero:<\/strong>
    Click on the \u201cAccounting\u201d menu at the top, then hit \u201cAdvanced\u201d and select \u201cTracking categories\u201d. From there, click on \u201cAdd tracking category\u201d and specify the Tracking category name. You can name it based on products\/services, payment processors, warehouses, regions, etc. Under \u201cCategory options\u201d, enter the necessary names of products, warehouses, regions or other variations and click \u201cSave\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Map your classes in Synder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once you have set up the classes in your accounting company, you can map them in Synder. To do this, go to \u201cMapping\u201d \u2192 \u201cEnable classes\u201d (alternatively, click \u201cSettings\u201d on the left-side menu \u2192 go to the \u201cMapping\u201d tab \u2192 scroll down the page and switch on \u201cEnable class tracking\u201d). Once the mapping is refreshed, you will see the column labeled \u201cClass.\u201d Here, you can select the appropriate class for each type (the future Daily Summary line).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Review your results: After mapping your classes in Synder, you will get classes assigned to all the mapped Daily Summary lines.
    The screenshot below is based on the example with QuickBooks Online. Though, the pattern will be the same for other accounting integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Best practices of using classes for multichannel businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Using classes in Synder Daily Summary can provide valuable insights into your business performance and help you or your client make more informed decisions.
    You can review the detailed Profit and Loss in your accounting company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, for QuickBooks Online, go to the \u201cReports\u201d tab and select \u201cProfit and Loss\u201d \u2192 display columns by \u201cClasses\u201d. This report will provide a detailed breakdown of your sales results by classes, allowing you to see how each category is contributing to your overall revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are the most common ways to use classes, but you can always use something more specific to your needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1) Profit and loss by product groups (display columns by classes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    2) Profit and loss by payment processor (display columns by classes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    3) Profit and loss by country (display columns by classes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
