Adding "Small Supplies" expense to a Project?

Hi there, 

It's good you're now using QuickBooks to help manage your projects. QuickBooks makes it simple to create, track and manage projects. I'd be happy to share more info on this. 

To add an expense the way you've described, please follow the steps below: 

1. Select + New.
2. Select Expense.
3. In the Payee field, specify a supplier. You can specify the name of a person or a business. In your case, you can leave this field empty since you don't want it to be tied to a vendor. 
4. Select the Payment account to which to credit this expense.
5. Enter the date of purchase in the Payment date field and specify the Payment method for the expense.
6. (Optional) You can use the Ref no. field to enter an identifying number from the purchase receipt. (Note: QuickBooks Online Plus users: When location or class tracking are turned on, additional fields for Location or Class appear. You can turn on location or class tracking features in Account and Settings on the Advanced tab).
7. (Optional) Enter a description of the expense.
8. Enter the amount of the purchase and any Tax paid (if applicable).
9. Select Save and close or Save and new.
