Hi folks. I'm new to QB and not overly IT gifted! I'm managing to enter my receipts via photo capture but the results aren't showing up on expenses. Any thoughts? Thanks

Welcome to the Community space, Rick.

In QuickBooks, after you upload your receipts, they don't immediately show up as a recorded expense. They must first be linked to a corresponding transaction or manually categorized in your books.

The primary purpose of uploading receipts is to match them to existing transactions. These transactions include those downloaded from your bank feed and those that you manually uploaded or created.

Here's how to link your receipt to an expense transaction:

1. Locate the receipt and click the View button next to it.
2. Carefully check the details that QuickBooks has extracted. Fill in any missing information, such as the Date, Supplier, and Amount.

3. Click Link a transaction to attach the receipt to an existing expense transaction.

4. A list of unlinked bank transactions will appear. Choose the appropriate transaction that matches your receipts. Then, click Save.

Once you complete this process, the transaction is officially categorized and will appear in your business reports and expense tracking.

If you're referring to the total in the Expense box on your dashboard, please note that the dashboard total only reflects business expenses. Any amounts that you have marked or categorized as personal expenses will not be included in the total expense figure displayed on the main dashboard.
