Glad to have you here in the Community, @jchavez.

 

Let's edit the reconciled expenses so you can add it to a project. Let me guide you how.

 

Before we proceed, please know that QuickBooks allows you to add a project to your expenses and won't change the reconciliation. However, you'll have to watch for it because sometimes QuickBooks remembers the last transaction. Thus, when you change it and add the project it may change the amount.

 

Here's how to add a project to a reconciled expenses:

 

  1. From the left panel, click Accounting.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Choose the appropriate bank account, then click View register.
  4. In the Filter icon drop-down, select the following from the drop-downs:
  • Reconciled from Reconcile Status.
  • Expense from Transaction Type.
  • The date when it was reconciled.

      5. Select the transaction, then choose the project under the Payee Account drop-down.
      6. Click Save.

Once done, please repeat the steps for the rest of your expenses. Then, review the expenses on your newly created project to double-check.

 

However, I still suggest seeking help with your accountant for more guidance.

Dear Mark,

 

Great advice in deed!

Our company has many different projects that are funded by different grants. I was wondering how I can create projects without using the sub-customer option.

Will I have accurate information without the sub-customer option?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
