While batching transacations (expenses), what do we enter in the 'type' field?

Good day to you, Dadoney. I'm here to help you choose what you need to enter when entering batch expenses in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Based on your statement, I take that you're using the QBO Advanced version since you can only enter multiple expenses at once with this subscription level.

To answer your concern, you can choose either the Category details or Item details in the Type field. If you don't see the dropdown, you can double-click the field to show it. See the screenshot below for your visual reference:

Here's the article for more details about this process: Create multiple bills or expenses in QuickBooks Online Advanced.

Additionally, here's a resource that you can use to see all payments made to your vendors and get insights into your business expenses by generating a report: Run a report with vendor totals in QBO.

You can count on me to provide further related resources and details about entering batch transactions. Kindly comment with any questions, and I'll ensure a prompt response.
