adding expenses

When i try to add an expense to an existing vender that I already had an expense for, the past expense shows up on the first line. Do I leave it there or remove it. It seems either way the old expense doubles up and affects the total paid to the vender. Details on how to do this would be helpful.

There has been occasions where my acct will act that way, as well. I just delete what it has in there, as it has nothing to do with an expense that I am trying to post. I don't know why it does it, but it does.

Hope this helps.

Welcome on board, @Kevin312.

Just_me is correct about removing it when creating another expense transaction for your vendor. That way, this will not add up to the new expenses and avoid doubling the amount you will be paying.

On the other hand, to avoid getting the same issue when creating new expense transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I suggest performing some browser troubleshooting steps to rule this out.

To start with, let's launch the website in a private or incognito browser. Your browsing history won't be saved in this mode, which also aids in isolating any website problems.

Here are the keyboard shortcuts:

Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
Safari: Command + Shift + N

If it works, you should clear the browser's cache so the system can start fresh. A different supported browser can be used as an alternative if you have the same issue when using a private browser.

Furthermore, learn to manage your expense by checking out this resource. Once you decide to pay this, enter it as a bill to record the payments in your company file.
