I would use utilities if that makes the most since to you and adding it back in isn't a problem I think that they removed it by mistake but categories are always a problem as people often see groupings/categories differently. But utilities would work. I have however started using a category called Communication expenses since so many different things exist today. Then sub categories called Internet access, Cell phone, Web Site hosting, etc. I find that better reflects costing items as today's connected businesses use so many different communications methods. That results in phone, internet, data lines, etc being in one group. Easier to track and easier for most to follow as an expense item. That leaves utilities to be for such things as electric, gas,

Utilities was taken away as a category in Outright's recent update which made me think it was not a valid business category - should I just add it back in as a new category anyway?

Proservices, I really like that idea! The usual categories of utilities or telephone expense don't really fit anymore. After all, I'm posting this from my phone ; )

So sorry for the confusion - we didn't remove the Utilities category, we just de-activated it. We were trying to make your dropdown list more manageable by de-activating the categories that weren't being used.
You can re-activate it by going to Settings/Categories and checking the checkbox next to it. You can also create new/custom categories here as suggested by ProServices of Kansas.
My apologies again.
