Hello M-Maryhill-logde- thanks for coming back to us and with the screenshot. So having had a look at the screenshot, you would need to create the transaction first with all the information and the different lines for the VAT then add the receipt to it.

Hi m-mayhill-lodge- If you have a sales receipt that includes different VAT codes then you can enter the amounts on separate lines and enter the corresponding VAT code in the VAT column.

Thank you - that sound like the solution I need, but how do I add additonal lines.

I have a receipt thats uploaded and I'm going to review it and check/change details. Cant see add lines option there?

Hi Martyn, when entering the sales receipt simply click 'Add lines' on the left-hand side and more will appear :)

I must be in the wrong place as I don't see any option to add lines

I have attached a screenshot

It's really ludicrous that one can't edit the expense after creating it from the receipt! I spent hours snapping receipts with my phone and ditching the annoying bits of paper that always fade to nothing over time anyway. Then I found the same problem. Cash and Carry receipts are almost always mixed VAT groups. The only thing I can see to do is put in say 20% VAT which then calculates (the wrong) VAT figure and then correct this with the correct VAT amount. It probably screws up some background tables in QB but they really should have thought this one through. They have had long enough. Just another option on the button to 'Create and Edit Expense' would at least mean one wouldn't have to try to find it manually! It's one line of code for pete's sake!
