Adding expenses from existing supplier

Hi everyone,

 

I'm new to QB and am trying to add all past transactions.

 

however, when i add expenses from a supplier i have set up (Amazon in this case) it just adds a line to my previous expense with them.

 

Theres probably something simple i'm not doing but can't see it.

Adding expenses from existing supplier

Hello there, SargeRefresh.


Thanks for choosing QuickBooks as your accounting provider. Let me help make sure you can add all past transactions smoothly.


We’ll have to make sure the information entered in the fields is correct. This is to keep from adding another line to your previous expense (Amazon).


Here’s how:

 

  1. Tap the New menu in the upper-right and choose Expense under Suppliers.
  2. On the Expense page, click the Payee drop-down and select Amazon.
  3. Enter the bank you used to pay for the expense in the Payment account field.
  4. Key in the right date for the entry in the Payment date box.
  5. In the Payment method field, select how you paid for the entry.
  6. Navigate to the Category details section and go to the first line.
  7. In the Category dropdown, pick the expense account used to track the transaction.
  8. Enter the amount and VAT in the right boxes.
  9. Click Save or Save and new.

This is how the entry will look like: expense.png

 

For more details, feel free to read this article: Enter and manage expenses in QuickBooks Online. It outlines the steps on how to manage the transaction.


I’m adding a resource that will guide you when to use a bill, cheque, and expenses. Click here to see the complete details. It includes links on how to create each transaction in QuickBooks Online (QBO).


To get acclimated to the features and processes in QBO, let me share the link to the following: Video tutorials for QuickBooks Online. They’re grouped by topic and you’ll be able to view each one easily.
