I need to enter a new Expense Category called "Training". How can I create that category?

What are the "details" in the "new account" field? Why when you click one of the "details" does it fill in that selection in the "name" field?

I would also like to add Training and Development as a GL. But I don't see any Detail Type that matches what I need. What detail type should I use for Training and Development, or should I simply add the GL as an Other Expense?

Can I add a new detail type? It seems that it only defaults to whats on the list.

Hello there, @medysana.

Adding a new Detail Type account in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is currently unavailable. However, you can create a sub-account and match it to the closest parent account.

I understand that the option to add a custom Detail Type in QuickBooks is beneficial to you and your business. Please know that our product engineers are considering all suggestions based on the number of requests and their impacts on the user interface before they're rolled out.

In the meantime, I'd recommend sending your suggestion directly to our engineers by going to the Gear icon and selecting Feedback. This way, they can review this request and add it in a future update.

I'm still open to your replies if you have additional concerns about creating accounts in QuickBooks Online. Have a great day ahead!
