Am I Missing something

Hello Ashley, welcome to the QuickBooks Community! I'm here to assist you in ensuring that your data is recorded accurately in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). 

If you're looking to add new transactions, you can directly do so while creating an invoice instead of adding them on the Transactions page. Let me guide you through the process for both services and products. 

For services, follow the steps below: 

1. Go to the Invoices menu and click on Create Invoice. 
2. Under the Product or Service column, click on the + icon. 
3. Click on + Add new. 
4. In the Amount type, choose By the hour and enter the amount you charge per hour, say £20. 
5. Click on Save.
   
6. On the invoice, change the quantity to the number of hours worked, say 8. The system will automatically calculate the total amount for you, which in this case would be £160. 
   

For products, you can follow the first three steps mentioned above and continue with the instructions given below:

1. In the Amount type, choose By item.
2. Enter the item price. 
3. Click on Save.

That's it! This information helps you in recording your transactions effectively in QBSE. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me.

Thanks for your reply my screens don’t look like your snd I don’t have some off those options 

I appreciate your reply, Ashley.

I'll provide additional help to achieve your goal of recording your transactions seamlessly in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).

It seems that you're on the old invoice layout. Thus, it might be why you're unable to see those options on your end. To update your invoice layout, click the Update Layout option from the upper right corner of your invoice page. From there, you can follow the process provided above.

If this isn't the case, would you mind adding more details or providing a screenshot for a visual reference on what options you don't have on your end? This way, I can give you an accurate resolution.
