How Do I Run A Report On Category Details of An Expense

Hello there, @typicole. I'm here to help pull up a report on a Category Details of An Expense.

We can pull up the Transaction List by Vendor Report report to show the items you put on the Category section of the Expense transaction and then customize it with the details you want to display on that specific report.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu, search for Transaction List by Vendor, and click the report to open.
2. You may filter the date range if needed.
3. Select Customize.
4. Once done customizing your report, click Run Report to save changes.

For more details about filtering reports, refer to this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online. You can also memorize it to save its current customization settings.

If you want to export the reports and lists into individual Excel files, you can visit this article: Export reports, lists, and other data from QuickBooks Online.

Please don't hesitate to post a reply if you have any clarification on the process or if you have any other concerns. I'll be here for you. Have a pleasant day ahead!

Thanks for responding @GebelAlainaM but category detail is still not a column option in the transaction by vendor report. Please reference the screenshot below.

I have another way how you can show the information from the description column, typicole.

The information that will show will depend on the report that you're using. You can run the Purchases by Product/Service Detail report. Then, make sure that the details are entered under the Item details section. I've attached a screenshot for your guide: 

Once done, the data in the Description column should show up under the Memo/Description column of the report.

Moreover, learn what are reports included in your subscription. I've added this article for your guide: Reports Included In Your QuickBooks Online Subscription.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond @MariaSoledadG . My post however was about category details, not item details. So it looks like there might not be a way to run reports off category details - which I find pretty silly.

This is incredibly helpful @Rubielyn_J . Thank you sooooooo much!

Thanks for following up with the Community, typicole.

I'm happy to hear Rubielyn_J was able to help you find a way to run reports showing category details.
