My uploaded receipts don't show as expenses. When i go to create expense manually from receipt, it says error, you may need a different account type to create the expense

I know why you can't create an expense from a receipt, info-reewaste. I'll explain the reason to guide you on the right path.

 

The error message you've encountered happens when you select an incorrect account in the wrong fields or choose the same expense account for both.

 

With this, you'll want to check your account details and make the necessary changes. These are the steps to follow:

 

  1. In the Uploaded receipt window, click <Edit receipt details.
  2. Pick where the payment came from in the Bank/Credit account.
  3. Choose the expense item in the Account/Category.
  4. Hit Save and Next, then press Create Expense.

 

Furthermore, here's an article that provides tips on managing uploaded receipts in different scenarios: Upload your receipts and bills to QuickBooks Online.

 

Additionally, you can check out this reference that will assist you in recording, editing, reviewing, and deleting expenses within the program: Manage expenses in QuickBooks Online.
