I’m glad to share some information with you concerning expenses in QuickBooks, @ppp.
When recording expense transactions in QuickBooks Online, you’ll want to make sure the bank account and the expense account are affected. That way, the program will automatically subtract the amount from the total in QuickBooks.
You can open your created expense transaction and check the account selected. I’ll show you how:
- Go to the Expenses menu from your left pane.
- Under Expenses, locate the said event.
- You can use the Filter option to search them easily.
- Click the View/Edit link.

On the other hand, if you’ve created a bill, then you’ll need to utilize the Pay bills option to enter the payment so the amounts will reflect in your bank register. Here are the steps to do it:
- Select the +New button.
- Click Pay bills under Vendors.
- Choose the appropriate account.
- Select the entry.
- Press Save.
Here’s a reference for additional information on how to enter and manage expenses in QBO. It has complete instructions to record, edit, and even deleting them.
Don't hold back to drop a comment below if you have other questions about the expense. It's my pleasure to be of great help. Take care!
