Hi, @dixonmotorsports.

 

You have to choose an Expense below the Add to project drop-down to ensure that it is inline with your project name. This way it will show the project cost.

 

I'm adding a screenshot for visual reference.

I did that but still it shows no cost.

 

The only time a cost will post if its listed under Category, but this isnt a Category but a item that will be put into inventory.

Sometimes local internet cache files stored in the system can cause unexpected behavior in the product, @dixonmotorsports.

 

It would be best to perform some basic troubleshooting to fix this.

 

Let's start by accessing your QuickBooks Online through a private browser. This a special mode where the browser doesn't record the browsing activity on the local device, so no trace will be left on the computer. Here's how:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
  • Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox or Internet Explorer).
  • Control + Option + P (Safari).

 
If the project's cost shows up, then let's clear the cache in your web browser or try using a different supported browser. This might be a temporary issue with QuickBooks and the current browser that you use.

 

Let me also provide you a link to check if your browser is compatible with QuickBooks: Fixit.intuit.com.

 

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know in the comment section down below. I'll be always around to help. Stay healthy and keep safe.

That still did not work to fix issue. I even tried another computer.

 

Is there a setting or anything that needs to be turned on or off?

 

Let me know what else i can do or provide to help fix my issues.
