Billable Expenses of $0.00 Saved

You may be experiencing a browser-related issue, rickchenbird.

There are instances that an issue like this can be resolved by running some troubleshooting steps. 

To start with, let's try saving the billable expense on a private window. This is where we can identify any browser-related issue. You can use these keyboard shortcuts to open one:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

If you're able to save one, we can go back to a regular browser and clear its cache. A piled cache can also be the reason for some unexpected issues on the opened pages like QuickBooks.

You can also switch to a different supported browser like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Safari.

I've also added this article for more information when entering a billable expense: Enter billable expense.

Hi Adrian, I follow your suggestion to try different browsers, but the issue isn't resolve. I don't think it is  browser-related issue. 

I think I found the real problem after I test several times. When I save the entry and select billable. It does save the amount in Billable Expense, but it has a small difference in the past. It used to show the account in the page of Billable Expense (Red Arrow in screenshot), but it doesn't show now. (Please see my screenshot). I find out the account is default to an Income account now, but when I try to change to another account as a liability account, it won't save as $0.00 as I mentioned in my previous inquiry. The problem is the system doesn't allow me to choose a Liability account, but I can do it in the past.    

Thanks for trying the steps I've shared, rickchenbird.

At this time, I'd recommend reaching out to our Phone Support team. This way, an agent can take a look at your account and verify why you're unable to select a Liability account on the billable expense.

1. From the ? Help icon, click Contact Us.
2. Enter, The system won't allow me to select a Liability account on the billable expense transaction.
3. Click Let's talk.
4. From there, select either Schedule a call, Get a call, or Start a chat.
