In QuickBooks Online, you can customize reports to include amount columns, but the ability to add a purchase amount column depends on the report type, Lisa.
To help us provide you with the most accurate guidance, could you please specify which report you are trying to modify by adding a purchase amount column? Different reports come with unique formats and available fields, so knowing exactly which report you're addressing will enable us to give you precise instructions.

- Log in to your QuickBooks Online account and navigate to the Reports menu.
- In the Type report name here search bar, search for Transaction List by Date and select it.
