Hi guys, I made a project to track cost and profit of our used car dealership.
I enter some projects to get started. For example our accord we paid $3200 and I created expense but when i go back into projects it wont load or show up.
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.

Please, leave a comment below if you have additional questions. I'll be right here to help.
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:
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.
Thank you for following the steps provided by my colleague, @dixonmotorsports.
We'll have to take a closer look at this to determine this unexpected behavior.
