Why don't the actual expenses match the expenses on the dashboard?

I filtered this months expenses, the checked this months expenses o the dashboard, and they didn't match. Totals on the dashboard are less than what is filtered on the expense transactions tab.

Why don't the actual expenses match the expenses on the dashboard?

Allow me to answer your question why there are different expenses amounts, 7everett.

 

The Expenses tab under the Expenses menu shows all transactions by default. This includes non posting transactions such as bills and purchase orders.

On the other hand, the Expenses section in the Dashboard only shows actual or posting transactions. Transactions that are reported here includes Checks, Expenses, and Bill payments.

 

This is the reason why there's a difference between the amounts in your Dashboard and in the Expenses tab.
