Usually in the world of QuickBooks, names rule. Like in the case of customer, vendor,and the chart of accounts typically we are looking at the name instead of the account number.

But in the case of class, what if we looked at a NUMBERING scheme instead of a naming scheme? This would help anyone who is responsible for data entry. If you look at a bill (or an invoice for that matter), most of the data entry would be done by using numbers. If the class setup were to use numbers instead of names, it would be much easier to do the data entry.

This idea came from Nita Wagner at Aranet, Inc. Thanks for the great tip!
