  1. Click the plus sign at the top of QuickBooks and click Expense in the Suppliers section.
  2. Choose a payee from the Payee dropdown list.
  3. Choose an account against which you want to log the expense. You may use a cash account for cash expenses.
  4. Enter the purchase date and select Cash as the Payment method.
  5. Choose an expense category in the Account dropdown list.
  6. Enter a description and amount for the purchase.
  7. If you paid a sales tax, specify it in the sales tax field.
  8. Click Save to save the data.
