Can mobile app be used to track mileage for with QB Desktop for Mac

I recognize the convenience of tracking mileage through our mobile devices, @Susan607. Let me share some information about this. 

Yes, we can track mileage through our devices. However, this is only available for iOS. To begin with, we must install the mobile application. 

Here's how: 

1. Go to the App Store. 
2. Search for QuickBooks Desktop. 
3. Click Install and then Run. 

To begin tracking using the mobile app, we can: 

1. On your iOS device, choose Track Vehicle Mileage. 
2. Select the Plus (+) icon. 
3. Fill out the trip details. 
4. Hit Save. 

Also, it's important to note that we have to use the Advanced version of the Track Vehicle Mileage to view the trips tracked on the app in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

Perform the steps below: 

1. Go to the Edit button and choose Preferences. 
2. Select Time & Expense, and click Company Preferences. 
3. Under the Track Mileage menu, hit Advanced version. 

I'll add this guide for additional info: Set up mileage tracking in QuickBooks Desktop.

I'll be around if you need more assistance regarding mileage management for your QBDT Mac. Have a good day! 

I have the app installed. When I "Track Vehicle Mileage"  it says I don't have a company linked. I am the admin.  When I to to the drop down for "Company" on the top menu, there is no "My Company" to select in order to sign in to my intuit account.

Thank you for getting back on this thread, Susan. I appreciate the additional details you've provided. 

Since we've already installed the application on our mobile devices, we have to set it up first to begin tracking mileage. 

Here's how:  

1. Open the QuickBooks Desktop app. 
2. Choose the Company you want to enter the mileage for and then click Switch. 
3. Select Track vehicle mileage. 
4. Hit Get started. 
5. Choose the + (plus) button. 
6. Fill out the trip details and click Save. 

Then, we can review and approve the trips in QuickBooks Desktop.

Hello Erika,

There is no company to choose and no Switch to click on.

"Open the QuickBooks Desktop app.  Choose the Company you want to enter the mileage for and then click Switch.  Select Track vehicle mileage.  Hit Get started.  Choose the + (plus) button"

 Here is what appears on my phone. I can not link to the app in my QB Desktop for Mac since there is no My Company in drop down menu for Company Tab.

My drop down menu on my laptop is as follows:

I need to find out how to have my company listed on the mobile app in order to record mileage.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Gebel Alaina,

Just an FYI on the feedback section.  The Help menu dropdown doesn't have that option on it in Desktop for Mac 2023.

I will send feedback another way.  Thanks for your help and response.
