Can a receipt be attached to a journal entry

Welcome to the Community, @nmaret4.

 

I'd be glad to guide you to attach a receipt to your journal entry in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

To ensure the security of your QBO account, these are the following file types that are supported for attachments: 

 

  • PDF
  • JPEG
  • PNG
  • DOC
  • XLSX
  • CSV
  • TIFF
  • GIF
  • XML

 

To attach a receipt to your journal entry, here's how:

 

  1. Open your Journal Entry transaction.
  2. From the bottom left, select Attachments.
  3. Browse and click the receipt that you want to attach.
  4. Hit Open, then Save and close.

 

Feel free to check out Attachments in QuickBooks Online for further details about this process. 

 

For reference, you may check these articles to guide you on how to handle your receipts:

 

 

Please let me know if you have additional questions or further concerns about attaching the receipt to the journal entry. I'm happy to lend a hand. Take care and have a great weekend!

I saw another answer to this question on this forum below:

 

 

At this time, the option to attach an expense with receipt to an item in Journal Entry is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). It will cause a duplicate once they are both posted as debit in expense.

 

I've also included these articles that you can use on how to handle your receipts:

If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to post down below. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.
