I buy most of my stock from carboots .I upload a cash receipt every time I get back from carboot.At the momment it's coming out of personal funds but how do I link it

You can toggle the type header to Business transaction, jones67xx.

While it’s best not to mix personal and business funds, but sometimes you may need to do so. In your case, you can sort the type into Business transactions to show your income and expenses accurately.

Here's how:

1. On the Transactions page, review your downloaded transactions.
2. Click the Type column header and select Business transactions.
3. For any transactions with the wrong or no category:
   • From the Category column, select the one you want to change.
   • From the dropdown ▼, select a category that best describes the reason for the transaction.
     
     
      

Once done, the transaction will link to the correct type column.

Upon sharing the steps above, I recommend consulting your accountant to ensure your finances are correct and all transactions are recorded properly in QuickBooks.

If you buy stock at car boot sales and pay in cash, you can log it in QuickBooks as a personal loan to your business, then record the purchase as an expense or bill. Without a receipt, attach a note or photo with the date, price, and item details to keep a proper record. When you sell the items, create a sales receipt to match the income.
