When using the app on my iPhone to snap receipts I need to be able to select Cost of Goods Sold in the categories - the iPhone app will not let me do this?

Hi office275, thanks for joining the Community :) - are you receiving a specific error when saving the receipt with this category selected, or is the account not available to select? 

I have the same problem - "cost of sale" categories (such as "laundry" for our hair salon) don't show as an option to select, only 'expenses" categories...

Hello there, Tony.

I've successfully selected Cost of Sales as a categorisation on the receipt on my sample file. That said, let's run some troubleshooting steps to fix this issue.

For Andriod:

1. Go to Menu ☰, then tap More Options ⋮.
2. Tap Settings, then Refresh Data.
3. Tap YES to confirm.

iOS:

1. Go to Menu ☰ and tap Help & Feedback.
2. Tap Refresh Data.
3. Tap Refresh to confirm.

If the issue persists, I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the mobile app. It allows you to start over with the app.

Please follow the steps below to proceed:

1. Tap and hold the app on your phone.
2. Drag the app to the Uninstall section.
3. Select Yes to confirm.

Once done, visit these links to reinstall the QBO mobile app:

• iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch apps are via the iTunes App Store.
• Get the download link through SMS.
