What report can I run to ensure all expenses have been allocated to a Project? Or, even easier, add the Project field to the Expense view.

Thank you. I am not looking to run project-centric reports but to ensure all expenses logged in QBO have been allocated to a project. Adding the project/customer field to the Expenses/Expenses view would do the trick. Not sure why this is so limited in its functionality.

I struggle with the same thing.  I need / want to make sure bills and expenses are assigned to projects.  I need a line item detail report showing me bills and expenses and what project they have been assigned to.  

Did you find a resolution to this?

I've submitted feedback in my form after the support call. I know others have struggled with this for some time as well so hopefully QB makes a simple adjustment to make this functionality available. It's an easy fix.

In the meantime, I am using tags so each expense has an "Allocated" tag I created (it's in the same dialogue box where you assign it to the project). Then you can run a report for allocated to see what was and untagged items for those that aren't.
