How to add categories to the Default Expenditure Categories?

Welcome to the Community, buildingpeacelar!

We can only assign one category in the Default Expenditure (or Default Expense Category) field. If you can't assign one at all, we can do the basic troubleshooting steps to see if you're experiencing a browser issue. I'll guide you through the process.

To start, you'll want to sign in to QuickBooks using a private browser. This step disables its extensions and stops the cache from saving your browsing history.

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• MS Edge and Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

If you can assign a category now, you can go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. If not, please try other browsers to see if we get the same thing. Doing a browser health checkup is also a great way to prevent display or other browser-related issues.

Please feel free to share an update or ask questions if you need help throughout the process. We're just right here to continue helping you.

Is 2 or more default categories going to be an update in the near future? This is NEEDED please!
