If I have an expense that is mixed personal and business, is there a way to change the amount in the tranacaction to be reviewed, to just record the business portion?

Thanks for visiting the Community, @craig52.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), the option to edit the transaction amount in the For Review tab is currently unavailable.

 

However, since you only want to record the business portion of the expense, you can enter it directly into the register, then manually changed the status to C (cleared) as a workaround.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In QBO, go to the Accounting menu at the left pane to get to the Chart of Accounts.
  2. Locate the bank account, then tick Account history under the Action column. 
  3. In the Add journal entry, Add deposit or Add cheque drop-down, select Expense.
  4. Enter the necessary information, then repeatedly click the Status (Check) column to change the status to C (cleared).
  5. Hit Save to complete.

 

For more insights about entering transactions directly in a register, check out this article: Add transactions to accounts in QuickBooks Online.

 

Once done, you can just exclude the bank transaction in the For Review tab. For further guidance with the process, refer to this article: Exclude a bank transaction.

 

Just in case, I'll add this article that tackles paying business expenses with personal funds in QBO: Pay for business expenses with personal funds.
