How do I keep SALES and EXPENSES boxes updated? I have manually updated both multiple times to give me the correct data but it will not stay updated.

I appreciate you taking the time to post your concern here. Know that we only wish you to experience the best kind of service while using the program.

Before anything else, are you referring to your bank feeds? If so, I have here some information to share about your concern. QuickBooks Online (QBO) will automatically download the latest available transactions around 10 PM PT every night. Although, some banks may take a little longer. 

If it takes too long on your end, I recommend manually updating your bank feeds. Here's how:

1. In your QBO account, go to the Banking tab, then select Banking.
2. Click on Update.

Moreover, I'll also share this article that can serve as your reference to learn how to review downloaded bank and credit card transactions and put them in the correct accounts: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
