Hello there, @finance248. To fix this issue with your expense accounts, you can use a clearing account and create a journal entry. It will take a few steps to create a clearing account.
Follow the steps below:
- From the left menu, hover your mouse over All apps and choose Accounting, then select Chart of Accounts.

- Hit New account.
- In the New account window, select Bank from the Account Type dropdown.
- In the Account Name field, enter Clearing Account, Barter Account, or Wash Account.
- Do NOT enter an opening balance.
- Click Save.
To create a journal entry, refer to the bottom part of this article for the detailed steps: Set up a clearing account. I also recommend reaching out to your accountant for further guidance in choosing the correct account to debit and credit. You can find one in this link: Find an accountant.
