Is there a way to get QB to auto-save progress in forms. Just spent 30min doing my expenses, this rubbish software booted me and didn't save the progress when I hit save?

I wish I could make it better, @ShieldCrete.

 

Currently, there isn't an integrated way to let the system automatically save any transactions when entering them. You'll want to consider manually clicking the Save and closeSave and new, or Save and send button so you can completely enter and save a transaction in the system.

 

In case you needed some reference, here's an article you can read to learn more about what other expense transactions you can enter in the system: What is the difference between bills, cheques, and expenses?

 

If you have any other questions, you can always leave them in the comments. I'll be here to lend a hand.

Man, I wish I stuck with Xero for this business. I only went with you guys because you were cheaper, now you are almost the same and still a long way behind in functionality :( Xero expenses entry and the way they ask you to login with an overlay so you don't lose your data if you have been active for a certain time is way more user friendly.
