When reviewing a receipt the default transaction type Bill. Can this be changed to Expense by default?

Under the current settings, there isn't an option to set a default transaction type for the receipts in QuickBooks Online, Michael. Alternatively, you can edit each receipt and manually toggle the transaction type according to your needs.

 

Here's how:

  1. On the left panel, tap the Transaction menu.
  2. Select the Receipt tab.
  3. Click each receipt and change the Transaction Type to Expense.
  4. Modify other information you'd like to update,
  5. Then, hit Save and Close.

 

I'll encourage you to submit this valuable idea about adding an option to default transaction types to our product engineers for consideration in future updates. They are consistently looking to meet our customer's needs, and your feedback is vital in determining which features will be included in upcoming updates. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon in the upper right.
  2. Choose Feedback under Profile.
  3. Type in your recommendation in the Share your feedback field.
  4. Click Next to submit.
